What is your favorite holiday memory?

My parents house has a hallway separating the living room (and Christmas tree) from the bedrooms. They would open up doors on opposite sides of the hallway to block the view of the presents under the tree from my brother and I. We would stay in the blocked off bedroom section until the moment they started recording when would run through the doors and see all the presents under the tree together.

Who is your favorite character in the show?

My favorite character in the show is Grandpa Prophater. He has so many funny one liners in the show to listen for.

Where is your hometown?

I live in Farmington

How many brothers/sisters do you have?

I have a brother who is two years younger than me.

What is your favorite song in the show?

My favorite song in the show is “Whenever I’m With You”. It’s such a sweet song that the family sings together and I can’t stop smiling whenever I hear it. 

With music and lyrics by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and book by Hugh Wheeler, Meet Me in St Louis opens December 6th and runs through December 22nd at Connecticut Theatre Company. Tickets on sale now!
