First Avenue is one of my favorite places to play. All along, they've treated me with respect.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a huge fan of 'Avenue Q' long before I ever dreamed of being a part of it. I saw it off-Broadway at the Vineyard and waited at the stage door for autographs!
I just did a play in New York which has been my best experience that I've had for maybe ever. It was Paul Weitz's play called Privilege and I was in New York for three months.
I've always liked Atlanta. And not just for the strip clubs, but the shopping and the food.
I have a lot of respect for the musical theater plays.
I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
I went to the Paradise Restaurant on 49th Street and Broadway which was where they were playing, and I sat in.
I always found the road exciting. I liked stinking hotels and freezing dressing rooms.
I always give respect to and pay homage to New York, because I don't feel like I would be the player that I am today if it wasn't for New York City. It gives you a certain edge, a certain toughness just growing up in the city.
Filling a theatre like the Olympia or Vicar Street on your own name is a very rewarding moment.
The thing about Broadway, they always welcome you with open arms.
