I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap and I see why. There is a certain slickness - there's nothing better than an amazing musical but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.
I'm a pretty big dork. It's crazy. I'm one of those people who grew up with all kinds of musicals but I was right at that age where 'Rent' was a big deal for me and for my friends.
