FULL GIVEN NAME-Chris Vaughn

HOMETOWN-Holland Patent, NY (TRY TO FIND IT!!!)

ZODIAC SIGN-Gemini, although I’m a Taurus cusp, so watch out.

FAVORITE AUDITION SONG/MONOLOGUE-“Almost Blue” by Elvis Costello

SPECIAL SKILLS-I play trumpet professionally, and am a stilt walker

FIRST BROADWAY SHOW YOU EVER SAW-Les Miz, 1997, I went through an entire box of kleenex.

IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND SEE ANY BROADWAY SHOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE-I would have loved to see Sweeney Todd, with Angela Lansbury, Len Cariou, and the cast of 1000’s. To hear that sound would have been amazing.

CURRENT SHOW YOU’VE BEEN RECOMMENDING TO FRIENDS-Next to Normal is near the top of my list lately. I love the music, and the raw edge the show has. Also, the amount of sound that those 6 people produce is mind-boggling.

FAVORITE SHOW TUNE-Put on Your Sunday Clothes is a favorite of mine lately, although Soliloquy is right up there.

MAC OR PC-Mac all the way. I’m a web and graphic designer, so I need a computer that’s not, well, stupid. ;)

MOST PLAYED SONG ON YOUR IPOD-Valentino, by Diane Birch. If you don’t know her, then look her up! 

WEB OBSESSION-I’m a designer (see above), so the whole thing is kinda my obsession. I will say that StumbleUpon is something that will literally eat hundreds of hours of your life if you let it.

LAST BOOK YOU READ-“Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper: A Sweet-Sour Memoir of Eating in China” by Fuschia Dunlop.

MUST SEE TV SHOW-Damages!

LAST GOOD MOVIE YOU SAW-I just saw “Red”, and I have to say, I really liked it.

FAVORITE WAY TO PASS TIME ON THE ROAD-Watching Damages with the Boys, sleeping, and counting wind farms.

He’s everywhere we go!!!

Current show you have been recommending to friends- In The Heights, it’s just a big, fun show.

The Plaids just finished a great 2 show day in Clinton Township, Michigan at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts.  This is kind of a notorious house for tours to go through for a couple of reasons.  One is that all the tours that come through decorate a ceiling panel that covers the backstage hallways.  It’s really fun to walk through and see not only some great artwork hanging from the ceiling, but a lineage of Broadway actors who were getting the start in early tours.  The other is “Mom”-she’s always waiting for the actors with food and hugs.  She’s super sweet-I came through this house almost 10 years ago when I toured with South Pacific and it was really great deja vu!  

The Forever Plaid National Tour Company!

Full Given Name- Scott William Guthrie

Hometown-Tulsa, Oklahoma

Favorite Audition Song/Monologue-I had been singing the end of “Soliloquy” from Carousel…alot.

Special Skills-I can make two tones at once and whistle through my teeth (a la Herbert from Family Guy)

First Broadway Show you ever saw-Ragtime, original cast…wow

If you could go back in time and see any Broadway show, what would you see?-I’m thinking Pippin-I’d love to see Ben Vereen tear up the Leading Player

Current show you’ve been recommending to friends-Rock of Ages.  It’s such a guilty pleasure for me.

Favorite Show Tune-For some reason, Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera is coming my mind.  That’s one of those questions you figure out after much thought, then when someone asks you, you’re like, “Uhhhhh….”

Mac or PC-Mac.  All the way.

Most played song on your iPod-End of the World by Matt Alber

Web obsession-I just uploaded the Dragon’s Lair app to my iPhone.  I’m obsessed with it-it reminds me of playing the arcade game as a kid.

Last book you read-I’ve been working my way through A Heartbreaking work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers.

Must See TV Show-Mad Men, Modern Family, Gray’s Anatomy

Last good movie you saw-Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World-a geek’s dream movie!

Favorite way to pass time on the road-Watching Mad Men, Modern Family, doing the USA Today crossword/word games

The beauty of this post is that I have no idea what any of the Plaids are doing today, because we are all on a very needed day off!  Myself, I’m sitting on my couch, watching my TV, in my apartment in New York City.  Aaaaaahhh.  Action starts back up Tuesday in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where we will be joined by our director, Mr. Bobby Randle (as pictured below).

Hey all,

    Scott here, reporting from the bus, as we are on our way to the beautiful Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, Massachusetts for tonight’s show!  We are heading into the cold weather too, so everyone is bundled up today.  It’s almost been a month out on the road, and I thought you should all get to know the Plaids a little better, so I thought I’d post a little something on each of the guys.  Let me know what you want to know and I’ll put up a profile on each of the “Pladdies!”

I leave you with a shot of the lobby at the show last night in Frederick, Maryland.  A constant reminder of our chosen path…

Hey all, Sorry I’ve not posted in the past few days. I went home to Tulsa, OK to see my cousin get married.  We play the barns at the Wolf Trap theatre tonight, which is a great regional house.  I look forward to the show and to being that close to DC!  More to come later!
