Just a quick question. How many of you guys dreamed of being on broadway in any shape or form? Why did you not pursue your dreams? Or have you been on broadway already?

I think I'm one of those rare fans who has never had aspirations to perform onstage in any capacity, much less on Broadway.

I don't think that's rare at all. I assume that most fans have no interest in performing. I wouldn't mind working in ticket sales, though, considering that I seem to know more about it than the people who actually have the jobs.

Is it, though? I never even did a school play (except once in second grade). I feel like everyone else has.

I haven't either. I think it would make for an interesting poll.

My dream would be to get the opportunity to work backstage. As I am right now, I have no interest in performing.

While I'd love to parade onstage in theory, I have no talent for acting and no desire to do the work required to develop any talent nor the discipline or energy to deal with the demands of the job.

However I'm fascinated to learn about the business and the productions on Broadway past, currently, and in the future.

I have no desire to perform onstage ever, but I do hope to one day design something that gets put on Broadway.

God, the almighty and all-knowing, has misplaced a cup?

I dreamed of performing on Broadway and winning a Tony. Performed in school and went to school for acting. That never panned out (life took an unexpected turn) so I found other ways to be involved with the theatre. The acting bug has pretty much left me but I would still do it if given the chance.

Just give the world Love.
