Welcome to THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As With Your Favorite Broadway Stars. Want to know what hooked them to a career in the theater? Their dream roles? Their Broadway crushes? Read on!
In this week's edition, we caught up with Kristoffer Cusick, who is starring as 'Reggie/Aaron's Future Son/Edgy Rocker Guy' in First Date- currently in previews at the Longacre Theatre; opening August 8.
What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?
I saw the tour of LES MISERABLES in Los Angeles. I was in high school and thought it was just about the best thing I had ever seen.
What is your most unique pre-show ritual?
I guess it depends on the show...but I may be known for running around to cast members dressing rooms to talk and hang out while in my underwear...or dance belt. HAHA
What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?
As scary as it was....the idea that "the show must go on" was really driven home to me during Idina Menzel's last week of performances at the Gershwin with WICKED. I was on stage with her as one of the guards from Oz when she fell thru the trap door and fractured her ribs. The whole moment was so surreal and as they were making sure that she was ok and getting her medical attention..they were getting Shoshana Bean (her standby at the time) into makeup and costumes to finish the show.
What is the one role you want to play before you die?I have always wanted to play 'Che' in EVITA.
Who is your Broadway crush?
Currently I have a crush on my table 3 FIRST DATE cast member Sara Chase! She is just AMAZING!!!
