Greetings people
how many people are going to be able to be here?
Hi, Chuck :-) How's the tour going Mr. Wagner?
WE'RE HERE TO PROMOTE THE TOUR IN GENERAL,
BUT ESPECIALLY OUR APPERANCE IN KENTUCKY I WAS MADE A KENTUCKY KERNEL MYSELF, WHEN I WAS AUTOMAN
I'm the idiot in under 3 names...I got kicked out for some reason, and couldn't get back in with the same name.
Oh yeah? I am a reporter for the University
of Kentucky newspaper, the Kernel COLONEL Cool Scott told me to come chat
I LOOK FOWARD TO LOUISEVILLE
I have some questions for you. 1) Tell a little about yourself

Good Luck with the show Chuck! I think you're an awesome Jekyll & Hyde
THANK YOU!

Mr. Wagner - Where did you first meet Frank Wildhorn?
ok... let me get my notebook. I had sketched out some things earlier this afternoon while I wasn't paying attention in class
AS A STUDENT AT USC, IN 1978
Then come! You and your family can stay at my house! ...I wish
I STARRED IN HIS FIRST MUSICAL I'M SURE I'LL HAVE A HOTEL ;-)
Any chance Mr Wagner, that the tour would suddenly want to come back To Los Angeles? We miss you out here
--> [Jean] has joined the Chat room
Is it true that yours was the voice that he heard while originally composing "This is the Moment?" I would've loved to have seen you perform J&H with Linda when the show first started. I know
I'M READY TO GO BACK TO HOLLYWOOD!
è [Richard] has joined the Chat room
ssorry...my cursor slipped.
Chuck, will you be selling your CD in Louisville?
--> [PaulaMackey] has joined the Chat room
YOU'D HAVE TO ASK FRANK ABOUT THE VOICE
--> [Lakota] has left the Chat room
--> [Lori & Paula] has joined the Chat room
THE CDS ARE AT ALL THE SHOWS!
How are we doing this? If we were all taking Mr. Wagner would need like 20 ears.
*talking*
ITS A BIT STRANGE!
lol I met you in Charlotte with a bunch of crazy high schoolers and my drama teacher
--> [Richard] has left the Chat room
What other shows have you performed in?
--> [Richard] has joined the Chat room

Great show at the FOX last night!!! Hi people
ok...I will try again....th binders in the pic with jayme...is it for other projects?
Mr Wagner have you ever considered doing Phantom?
--> [Guest] has joined the Chat room
Your interpretation of the character of jekyll
seems to be somewhat more "internal" than Robert Cuccioli's What kind of decisions did you make about the character while preparing for the tour?
Chuck: Do you have any plans for after this current J &H tour is complete for you?
CHRISTOPHER WAS LOSELY BASED A THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST CHARACTER
--> [Brian] has joined the Chat room
Everyone...try and slow down the questions just a bit
;-) How important is it for someone in your position to take an advocacy role? I've read about your involvement in some campaigns and so forth.
--> [Michele] has joined the Chat room
I'D LOVE TO PLAY PHANTOM, I TRIED TO MAKE HENRY JEKYLL FUN, SO THAT THE JOURNEY TO HYDE IS A LONGER LEAP AND AS FOR PLANS, WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE. i PLAN TO KEEP WORKING!
I think you would make a GREAT phantom!
I STAY AWAY FROM POLITICS
why?
Chuck, are you familiar with the work of Michael Gruber.
ITS PERSONAL.
Mr. Wagner, what is your favorite song from Jekyll and Hyde?
è --> [Guest] has left the Chat room
Just don't like politics or never have?
NO, I DONT KNOW MICHAEL
Henry Jekyll has a wry sense of humor thanks to you...never saw that in him before
--> [mary] has joined the Chat room
--> [Guest68] has joined the Chat room
Michael Gruber? He's my old fave! I met him...he's all over my wall...but then you took his place.
--> [Guest68] has left the Chat room
I NEED TO KNOW IS MY FAVORITE JEKYLL SONG
--> [Elise] has joined the Chat room
Do you think there is an increase or
decrease in the interest of Broadway? Nobody could EVER do Confrontation like you did....
--> [Pookey341] has left the Chat room
DEFINATELY AN INCREASE!
--> [Eric] has joined the Chat room
I hear your nephew Al and his family are going
to be in Louisville for the Sunday afternoon show!
Never seen Cats. Have you ever been in "Civil War", and if not, how did you come to have "Brother My Brother" on your CD?
--> [Rapunzel] has left the Chat room
SINCE LES MIZ , CATS, AND PHANTOM, MUSICALS ARE BIGGER THAN EVER
Have you heard anything about who will be the next Dr.J on Broadway?
why an increase? some say decrease. what would you say to combat that?
--> [Pookey341] has joined the Chat room
Would you ever like to do Les Miserables again?
Chuck, I've heard the tour version of J & H differs slightly from the NY version. how?
--> [PresLinda] has joined the Chat room what?
hi everyone...how does this work...free for all?
I haven't asked a single question...
Chuck, would you consider a revival of Oklahoma? I think you would be great in the lead.
Our tour is funnier sexie and better to look at Chuck, if you were to do J&H on Broadway which version would it be Mr. Wagner, do you remember me, Becky, from Philly on Nov. 6....I....uh...flooishly cried.
Oh...it's ok :)
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE OUR TOUR COME TO BROADWAY, BUT THERE IS NO TELLING IF I'LL EVER BE JEKYLL ON BROADWAY YES, I REMEMBER YOU. THANKS FOR LOGGING ON!
I saw Jekyll and Hyde for the first time on Nov. 5 in Philly...thanks for making it such a great experience for me!
i think the;y should ask chuck to do broadway
I voted for you like 250 times in that poll!
--> [Chelle] has left the Chat room
I HAVE DONE OKLAHOMA, AND I LOVE IT, BUT I DONT SEE A NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO BROADWAY
è Anymore Canadian dates???? Toronto??????
--> [Kentucky_Kernel] has left the Chat room
I DID KISS ME KATE, AND I LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING THAT ON BROADWAY
To all those in Kentucky, you are really in for a treat. Saw J&H in philly and WOW!!!
BROADWAY NEEDS CHUCK
Chuck..believe it or not, but I thought the Fur coat you wore as Hyde was awsome. Is that streetwear for you too?
I'D LOVE TO DO TORONTO, BUT NOW I THINK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ENDING THE TOUR IN APRIL
--> [Richard] has left the Chat room
I agree Carol!
Is there anyone we can write to to recommend you for J&H on B'way?
--> [Chelle] has joined the Chat room
Chuck, Have you ever played at the Kentucky Center for the Arts before?
YOU COULD WRITE THE PRODUCERS, BUT I THINK THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SUPPORT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE KENTUCKY ARTS CENTER, I'VE TOURED SO MUCH ITS HARD TO KEEP TRACK!
Then why don't they put you where you belong? On B'way!
They are going to end the J&H tour in April???
Chuck, what did you think of Philadelphia?
--> [Guest] has joined the Chat room
I LOVE LOUISVILLE THOUGH!
--> [Eric] has left the Chat room
ITS NOT DEFINATE, BUT I KNOW WASHINGTON IS NOT HAPPENING

When do tix go on sale for J&H at the Tropicana, do you know, Mr. Wagner?
--> [Silkefine] has joined the Chat room
--> [Barbara H.] has joined the Chat room
I'M LUCKY THATS ITS ALWAYS STAYED FRESH IN ME, I'VE NEVER GOTTEN TIRED. THE DAY I GET TIRED WILL BE THE DAY I QUIT!
--> [Carmel] has joined the Chat room
Chuck, This looks like such as physically
demanding role . . . how do manage to keep in shape? J&H is coming to the Tropicana???
I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE TROPICANA
Mr Wagner have you ever done Shakesphere?
He keeps in shape by performing every night!
Yes. In March
DON'T GET TIRED! WE COULDN'T BARE IT!
See you opening night in Louisville Chuck. Gotta go!
THE ROLE ITSELF MAKES ME STRONGER EVERY DAY. ITS A BLESSING, AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL, I WANT TO KEEP DOING IT!
Do you have any more rehersals?-->
[payne] has left the Chat room
Munku, I think Mr. Wagner does enough "baring" during the show.
YEAH, I DID SHAKESPHERE IN SCHOOL, BUT I'D RATHER BE SINGING.
If you are anywhere in the Kentucky Southern Indiana area and want tickets call 502.361.3100
Do you enjoy roles that focus on duality?
--> [payne] has joined the Chat room
LOL--> [Silkefine] has left the Chat room yuck, ticketmaster!
Will you leave your hair long after J&H?
Isn't there a musical version of Hamlet? ;-)
WE OCCASIONALLY REHEARSE WITH THE DIRECTOR TO KEEP THINGS TIGHT, BUT "THE PLAYS THE THING".-->
[Lynn] has left the Chat room
Here's some role play for ya...If you were on the board of directors, would you have let Dr. Jekyll proceed with his experiment?
--> [Bev] has left the Chat room
Mr. Wagner, do you have any plans after Jekyll and hyde?
--> [Ichabod] has left the Chat room If you don't like Ticketmaster you can call the KCA box office: 502. 584.7777 or 800.775.7777
YES, I ENJOY ROLES THAT ALLOW ME TO STRETCH AS AN ACTOR, AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE HAIR IS NOT MINE. I DONT THINK I EVER WANT MY HAIR THAT LONG!
so chuck...
Chuck, speaking of long hair, did you wear a wig in Christopher?
Good for you, I don't like long hair on guys either...I think it looks good like you have it, vs on your cd
Oh God! It's sooooooooooooooosexy! I asked my husband to do that ! Chuck, speaking of long hair, did you wear a wig in
Christopher?
Good for you, I don't like long hair on guys either...I think it looks good like you have it, vs on your cd
--> [Bev] has joined the Chat room
--> [mary] has left the Chat room
DEFINATELY I WOULD HAVE, UNDER CONTROLLED CIRCUMSTANCES. THESE PATIENTS/PRISONERS IN THIS NUT HOUSE, MIGHT BENEFIT FROM SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTATION. CONSIDERING IT WAS THE 1880'S I WOULD HAVE SAID YES
I thought the hair was yours at first
Ahhh, but Michael Praed (Robin of Sherwood) looked gorgeous in long hair..... Will you ever be having a "gathering" anywhere from NY to nothern VA?
--> [Lori] has joined the Chat room
IT WAS MY OWN HAIR IN CHRISTOPHER, BUT IT WAS NEVER TO MY BACK
Mr. Wagner, How do you as an actor overcome the loss of your own facial expression when do a role like the Beast? I guess long hair suits some Elise and I had a little dicussion on the way home.. the first start up of Dangerous Game is new isn't it... didn't notice on opening night in Boston but it was there the closing show
Chuck...You have had long hair in the past...I like the pic of you on the slopes with susan and all your hair is blowing in the wind :-)
What is the most demanding role you have ever played?
First Annual Jekaholics Convention in Houston Munku Let's try that again...What is the most demanding role you've ever played?
--> [nancy c] has left the Chat room i messed up the first time...
It was interresting how "the Hair" made such a big difference in the character...but it is very sexy back in a pony!
I know...but I can't go.
Thanks for all the questions so far guys...please be patient while we try and get to them all! ;-)
Oh yeah that was the other question shelby...you were right about the mirror...
--> [nancy c] has joined the Chat room I live in PA and I'm only 13!
Does singing in "two voices" night after night bother your throat?
AS THE BEAST, THE MAKE UP ALLOWED ME TO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT I LOOKED LIKE, WHICH FREED ME TO OPEN MY HEART
:o) cool munku
--> [Jean] has left the Chat room
Maybe we should take turns asking questions...take a number please...
NOT REALLY, IT DOESNT.
Your heart seemed wide open Saturday night!
--> [Jean] has joined the Chat room
Disconnected because I was idle--I was trying to catch my breath. thank for chatting.
--> [PaulaMackey] has left the Chat room Was singing both parts for "Agony" on your CD weird for you?
JEKYLL AND HYDE IS THE MOST DEMANDING ROLE I HAVE PLAYED
--> [Watcher] has left the Chat room
--> [PaulaMackey] has joined the Chat room
NO, IT WAS ACTAULLY TRANCENDENTAL. THE STUDIO WAS RIGHT BEHIND THE MARTIN BECK, WHERE WE DID THE SHOW, AND AS I SANG IT, I COULD HEAR BOB WETENBURG'S VOICE IN MY HEAD. VERY TRIPPY!
--> [Natalie] has joined the Chat room
Confrontation was so awsome...it built and built- between the lighting, the perspiration and the movment- it was POWERFUL!
Jayme, is there a set time this chat is supposed to end?
I can't imagine anyone else in the role. Did you study voice?
me too...
stupid question, but just wondering: Mr Wagner is that you singing as the BEast on the BRoadway preview channel in the major hotels?
the chat will end at 5!
Confrontation is the best!
Ok, thank you! :)
--> [Carmel] has left the Chat room
--> [Brian] has left the Chat room
Cronfrontation was worth the price admission alone
--> [Watcher] has joined the Chat room
--> [Brian] has joined the Chat room
Does your success ever scare you (since so many people know so much about you)?
I totally agree w/ carolh
I agree Carol!
I dunno. "I Need To Know" really stirs up my blood...
yes it was- but i think "take me as I am" will be the next big wedding song!
--> [judycarol] has joined the Chat room
--> [Lori] has left the Chat room
And DG...
My vote is Dangerous Game
Where does the cast/crew live during a city's run? Hotels or apartments of some sort? i luv "take me as I am"
NO, SUCCESS NEVER SCARES ME. I TRY TO TAKE IT AS IT COMES, SO I DONT GET DISAPPOINTED. BUT I FEEL VERY BLESSED!
Sory for backtracking -- I missed the beginning of the chat -- is it just that DC isn't happening in May or is it that the tour is ending in April?
WE LIVE IN HOTELS, USUALLY
When do you travel, Mondays? Why didn't you put "Confrontation" on your CD?
What's your fav song that another character sings?
NO, THATS NOT ME ON THE BWAY CHANNEL, ITS TERRY MANN->
[Julie Ann] has left the Chat room
Maybe Confrontation will be on the next CD :)
Make another , longer, cd
okay just wondering..thank you! :o)
I COULDNT PUT EVERYTHING ON IT, AND THIS WAY, THERE IS ROOM FOR MORE!
Hint, hint
Gotta SEE Confrontation to really appreciate it!
--> [Suzanne] has joined the Chat room Chuck..when will ther be more..soon?
ONCE UPON A DREAM
So when can we expect a second CD?
No questions - am looking forward to seeing JH & you Fri & Sat in Indy. Taking my sisters - their first encounter with JH
Chuck: I have notice alot of changes from show to show, but it is killing me, was there always two start ups of Dangerous Game Yea...to hear "confrontation" and to actually see it are two totally different experiences
ALL WILL BE REVEALED IN THE FUTURE!
RHdobes> Nancy C, you all will have a great time!
Speaking of "Take Me as I am" I just have to say
that I love the "acoustic"guitar on that track!
Mr. Wagner, would you ever like to do Les Miserables again?
:-)
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN TWO START UPS TO DANGEROUS GAME? SURE, I'D LOVE TO DO LES MIZ AGAIN, THIS TIME AS VAL JEAN
She means the first encounter with Hyde --> [Barbara H.] has left the Chat room I have your CD...are there any plans to record a CD of this current show/cast of J&H?
When did you decide you wanted to be an actor?
--> [Pookey341] has left the Chat room
Sorry... you know the first time you come up behind Lucy as Hyde... she starts to sing Dangerous Game but stops Does anyone else think that "Bring on the Men" is better than "Good N Evil"? besides me Lucy and Hyde I mean
no not me
NO, OUR ALIVE IS LONGER THAN THE BROADWAY VERSION, AND THE DANGEROUS GAME BRIDGE IS NEW FOR THE TOUR
i like good and evil
--> [PresLinda] has joined the Chat room
Now I didn't notice it on the opening night is Boston but it was there on the closing... was I just mistaken
--> [Brian] has joined the Chat room

I know you write, have you considered writing a play?
ITS A GREAT SONG

--> [Michele] has left the Chat room
--> [Barbara H.] has joined the Chat room
Chuck, would you like a JKL-HYD MO license plate?
Would you sign the other one?
Do you know of any plans for a Complete
Symphonic REcording of Jekyll and Hyde?
I WOULD TRY, BUT I DONT THINK THAT IS WHERE MY STRENGTHS LIE...I WOULD CONSIDER IT, BUT I DONT KNOW IF I HAVE A PLAY IN ME TO WRITE.
--> [Greg Halmos] has joined the Chat room
NO THANKS TO THE LICSENCE PLATE, BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SIGN IT!
oh come on... after that Poe thing...
you COULD do it!!! Does your family ever tour with you?
THANKS DIXIE, YES THEY ARE WITH ME NOW!
About how old were you when you first started acting (school shows, community theatres, etc.)?
I WAS 10 YEARS OLD IN THE 4TH GRADE, I PLAYED CAPTAIN HOOK IN THE ADVENTURES IN SOTRY BOOK LAND
No wonder Chuck hasn't been online much...that's great the family is with Cap'n Hook?
awww :)
:)))
--> [Greg Halmos] has left the Chat room
--> [Leslie] has left the Chat room
Chuck...you said Jayme was typing...is she there with you too?
Chuck, what do you and Utterson (James) talk about during BOTM (if anything)
:))))))
Not one of us girls isn't jealous of Susan, I think. I know I am!
What's your fav song from Beauty and the Beast?
--> [bsmgamy] has left the Chat room
Mr Wagner, have you ever preformed in London,
and if so, which do you prefer, the UK or the US? I am
NOPE, JAYME IS ON THE PHONE IN NEW YORK, AND I'M IN ATLANTA.
--> [bsmgamy] has joined the Chat room
I'm watching Into the Woods and you just made your entrance. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel...what a strange name!"
JAMES AND I TALK ABOUT VARIOUS THINGS. MY FAVORITE SONG FROM BEAUTY AND THE BEAST IS IF I CANT LOVE HER.
That is so neat!
Munku, I believe Rapunzel means "Radish."
that's my fav song too.
I TOURED THE UK AS AUTOMAN, BUT HAVE NEVER PLAYED IN THEATERS YET. I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY IN THE WEST END
Chuck..that is my fave too...I love the way you do it on the cd

Hello
--> [Brian] has left the Chat room
IF I HAVENT GOTTEN TO YOUR QUESTIONS, YOU MAY WANT TO ASK THEM AGAIN, AS THIS IS GOING BY VERY QUICKLY!
Any hints at what's next for you Chuck?
Chuck - anything in particular that you are really looking forward to (as an audience member) in the new B'way lineup?
--> [Brian] has joined the Chat room
Mr. Wagner, are there any plans for tv again in the future? when you are home, do you have the opportunity to watch much theater?
--> [Leslie] has joined the Chat room
I'M IN AMERICA 3000, THE SISTERHOOD, AND INTO THE WOODS. AS FAR AS I KNOW THOSE ARE THE ONLY RENTABLE VIDEOS, AND THE FIRST TWO ARE VERY RARE!
This has been bugging me ever since I saw the show last Friday and I was reading my Playbill...who did you play in Matlock?
--> [payne] has left the Chat room
Do they still run the Zyban commercials...I never knew that was you till I saw it in your profile.
I'D LOVE TO GET BACK INTO TV, AND AT EVERY OPPURTUNITY I WATCH AS MUCH THEATER AS I CAN. I AM A BIG SUPPORTER OF THE THEATER
I got Into the Woods on Amazon.com
--> [payne] has joined the Chat room Oh yeah...how about Dynasty? I saw a copy of America 3000 for sale not too long
ago on ebay
I PLAYED THE MUSICAL DISTRICT ATTORNY IN A BROADWAY TYPE MUSICAL CALLED LOVERS AND LAWYERS IN AN EPISODE OF MATLOCK
Yes...it's on ebay quite a bit.
ZYBAN IS OVER, IT RAN FOR A YEAR AND THEY WERE VERY GOOD TO ME, BUT ITS OVER
Where can I find any copies of Automan on video? or America 3000 or The Sisterhood, for that matter? oh... And a fine job you did as that musical district attorney, Chuck.
I think I heard Chuck was on at the beginning of that Matlock episode
Chuck...are your children interested in going into the biz? Becky, I have an extra copy of America 3000, I'll send it to you! :)
--> [Suzanne] has left the Chat room
AUTOMAN SOMETIMES IS ON THE SCI- FI CHANNEL, BUT I DONT THINK THEY ARE ON VIDEO
You will?
do you have a favorite musical and/or play (that you haven't been in)?
Sure!
REGARDING MATLOCK, IF YOU BLINKED, YOU MISSED ME!
I love you, Lauren!
How about a J&H video like Les Mis?
lol, awww, i love you too! :)
That would be cool..
--> [Greg Halmos] has joined the Chat room
What about Dynasty?
Why did you want to do J&H in the first place?
I'D LOVE TO BE INVOLVED IN A TELEVISED VERSION OF JEKYLL AND HYDE, BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH
Mr. Wagner, when your family is with you on tour, does "Beauty" come, too?
--> [Michael] has left the Chat room
You should mention it.
Oh wouldn't that be a wow!
They would have to do it without commercials.
WHEN ALEXIS DIVORCED DEX, SHE WENT TO THE CARIBBEAN, AND I TRIED TO PICK HER UP AT A BAR, IT WAS A BRIEF SCENE, BUT AT LEAST I GOT TO WORK WITH JOAN COLLINS!
Definately... they could do a chia pet commercial after the "chest hair scene" bev
You have the most beautiful and powerful voice. Does that talent run in the family?
BEAUTY IS BEING BOARDED AT A KENNEL
Poor puppy
:( I'm sure I saw that one, I used to watch Dynasty a lot...if I'd only known
MANY OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE BIG VOICES TOO! MY KIDS SHOW GREAT PROMISE
Not as good as yours...it's just not possible.

Her loss...
I mean Oprah or Rosie?
--> [Jayme] has left the Chat room
oprah?
You have to get on the rosie show! I'll suggest it! Mom is hoping you get Broadway.. she wants to see you there!
ONE EMBARRASSING MOMENT WAS WHEN I KNOCKED THE SYRINGE OFF THE STAGE
Rosie would die...she might even consider leaving her Tommy
--> [Watcher] has left the Chat room
How did you recover from that one?
Mr. Wagner are you going to be with Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to the Broward Center For the performing arts January 4th to the 16th?

Chuck: the audience didn't notice, but was there anything set-wise/prop-wise that went wrong last night?
J/H is in Atlanta
NEVER WITH MR. CRAWFORD, BUT I WOULD LOVE TOO.
Mr. Wagner, would you consider singing "Music of the Night" on a second CD?
I had no idea you were from TN, me too!!
What part?
I can't wait to do Into the Woods!
WE ALWAYS HAVE SET GLITCHES WITH NEW CREWS
me three from tenn.
That would be beautiful (Music of the Night).
great place
I think you need to follow in Mr. C's footsteps if you get my drift
I'M FROM JUST NORTH OF NASHVILLE, CALLED HARTSVILLE
Chuck, I think you live close to my Mother in NJ
I LOVED THE WANG, IN BOSTON
I Need to Know is in the tour
Heartsville, how appropriate...oh Did Philly really give you the "lamest" dressing room?
--> [Leslie] has left the Chat room
ABSOLUTELY, I WOULD SING MUSIC OF THE NIGHT
Mr Wagner, have you ever preformed in front of the president, or any heads of state?
I gotta jet...Thanks for a great performance and for coming to Philly...I enjoyed every minute!
You are truely gifted.

Does it mean something MORE, as you are from Tennessee?
GOOD BYE, MR. WAGNER! HOPE TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN SOON!
YES, I LIKE ALL MUSIC
--> [AliBob] has left the Chat room
I read that Bring on the Men was put back in for the tour. Anything else?LeeAnn> What singers did you listen to growing up Mr. Wagner, who did you like playing more...Cindi's Prince or "Radish's" Prince?
--> [bsmgamy] has left the Chat room
Chuck would you like to cut a country cd?
YEAH, I FEEL ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO ALL THE CIVIL WAR MUSIC, AND THERE IS A SONG CALLED REGIMENTAL DRUMMER, THAT I LIKE
Do you play an musical insturments?
Dixie> How many people are listening to Chuck's CD right now?
Chuck: In Providence there was people walking behind the brick wall during your opening song... but it wasn't there in Boston.. was that dropped or the size of the stage

Of all of the people you've worked with, who did you like the most?
I must run. Work does call. But thank you, Mr. Wagner for doing this. It's been great reading :-)
BASICALLY, I APPROACH IT THE SAME WAY, I GO 100%, STAY TRUE TO THE MOMENT, LISTEN, AND HAVE FUN!
How do you keep your beautiful singing voice in top shape?
That is a great question
I saw Ragtime in Chicago before they scaled it down. It was HUGE!!!!

IF they ever did POTO as a movie, I think Bernadette Peters should play La Carlotta.
I am seeing the show in Atlanta Sat night.
Hit the A hard for me, Chuck!!!
You and me both!
Chuck Wagner> I'LL DO MY BEST, MR MUSIC MAN!
When do you rest? You're online in the a.m. and p.m.!
They are doing POTO as a movie.
Chrissy?? :)
Of the shows you've done, which were your fave and least fave?
good question
I'M LIKE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, I REST IN FITS AND SPUTTERS
I was thinking that too Elise... LOL
When did you realize that you wanted to become an actor, Mr.Wagner. The reason that I am asking is that I would love to get into musical theater and am curious as to when you realized your dream Bev, I know the "rumors", but it's a hard thing coming.

I LOVE ALL THE SHOWS I'VE BEEN IN, I HAVE NO LEAST FAVORITES
Did you arrange any of the songs on your CD? I especially like how If I Can't Love Her is much slower-paced than on Broadway. More romantic that way. What was your first show?
musicman21_76> Thanks, nice to chat, and LOVED you in Woods and was excited when I found out I would get to see you in J&H.
I KNEW I WAS DESTINED TO BE A PROFFESIONAL ACTOR MY FIRST YEAR OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, I JUST KNEW I WAS THERE.
RHdobes> "If I Can't Love Her" is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard!

JASON HOWLAND AND KIM SCHARBERG ARRANGED THE CD AND DID A FABULOUS JOB
BroadwayBaby> how do you prepare to do j&h onstage?
I have to agree with you RHdobes
Did you like working with Deborah Gibson In BEauty and the BEast, you did work with her, right?BroadwayBaby> how do you prepare to do j&h onstage? I have to agree with you RHdobes
