I'm most infamously known amongst my closest friends for helping to clear out an entire audience at the inaugural performance in the Angel Orensanz Center in the Lower East Side of NYC.  It was an evening of improvisational French opera based on esoteric texts that were several centuries old.  Need i say more?  The only other truly visceral reaction i can remember stirring in an audience is when i performed in a Wagner Hall in East Germany after the Wall came down and saw old men crying and hugging one another as we sang "We know we belong to the land, and the land we belong to is grand."  The place went crazy.  Yeah, it was the original American musical, Oklahoma!, and they ate it up.  I was performing the role of Will Parker.  That is also where i met my future wife, Heather McFadden (Dream Laurie).
