Want to know what hooked your favorite Broadway stars to a career in the theater? Dying to know more about their dream roles? Their Broadway crushes? Every Friday afternoon, BroadwayWorld is bringing you THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As with the best of Broadway and beyond.
In this week's edition, we caught up with Raymond Lee, who is currently in previews for Vietgone- playing at MTC at New York City Center - Stage I .
What is the first Off-Broadway (or Broadway) show you ever saw?
Fuerza Bruta. The face melting power of that show still stays with me.
What is your most unique pre-show ritual?I recite this clown mantra to myself where I roll down my spine, nod my head and say "Yes yes yes, I'm going to have a great time tonight." Then shake my head no, "No no no, I won't be so worried about it." Then nodding, "Yes yes yes, I'm going to let my funky duck out to play."
What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment?
I was mid-monologue in a college production of Pericles when I got hit by the sneeze monster. After about the 6th sneeze I stopped and couldn't remember anything I was doing so I just made up about a minute of Shakespeare then awkwardly side stepped off stage.
What is the one role you want to play before you die?
As cheesy as it might sound, I think I'm playing it.
Who is your Broadway or Off-Broadway crush?
I've always had a huge actor crush on Bill Irwin.
