What show recently impressed you?
Irma la Douce at Encores! Loved it! It was almost like a cabaret show rather than your typical 鈥淏roadway musical.鈥� It was such a different style.
What production are you most excited to see?
to see . He's so talented and very personable. He's a great guy in a great play.
What play/musical would you most like to revive on Broadway, and which role would you want to play?
Stone in . I have so many great memories of being in the original production with and . Michael and I killed it on "You're Nothing Without Me." I worked directly with on the score, and he was the best. I'll never forgot the lessons in jazz he taught us. I made my Broadway debut in Cy鈥檚 I Love My Wife and that led me right to 鈥淭he Dukes of Hazzard.鈥�
What are your current/upcoming projects?
John Schneider, who co-starred with me on "Dukes," have a new album 鈥淗ome for Christmas鈥� out with jazz songs and some of the standards you love. It鈥檚 a bit different from your usual holiday album 鈥� it opens with 鈥淐hristmas Time is Here鈥� from the Charlie Brown specials. My producer Dave Finck and arranger helped us find some great numbers. Schneider and I are doing a bunch of concerts throughout the season. I am working on a new record, too, probably focusing on my favorite singer/songwriters. Plus, I have a new play coming up. Keep an eye on .
