Randy Graff
Tony Award winning actress Randy Graff talks about her role as Meg Boyd in the current Encores! revival of Damn Yankees, including what she learned from reading the novel on which the show is based and what she thinks of the enhanced intimacy between her character and the youthful Joe Hardy. She also talks about one of her earliest Broadway experiences, in the little-remembered flop Sarava!; the rehearsal process for the U.S. production of Les Miserables, in which she was the original Fantine, as well as why she doesn't like to hear herself on the Les Miz cast album; how her show-stopping song in City of Angels came together; her experiences working with comedy legends Neil Simon and Carol Burnett on Laughter on the 23rd Floor and Moon Over Buffalo; how she felt about the change of director and choreographer midway through High Society; what it was like to be directed by and play opposite her close friend Lonny Price in A Class Act; and her special feelings for Fiddler on the Roof.
