Mitchell Greco has been pretty busy this season with BUSYTOWN and ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY. Alexander starts public performances tomorrow, so I thought it might be a good time to learn a little more about Alexander himself as he fills out the MST Q&A...Full given name: Mitchell Charles Greco
Hometown: Temple, TX
Zodiac sign: Virgo (I think it changed, though? I don't know, I'm always behind the times...)
Audition Monologue/Song: It depends on what I'm auditioning for. But I'm always looking for a reason to pull out my "I Hate the Bus" monologue from Caroline, or Change.
First Houston show ever saw: First show I saw IN Houston was the tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels that came through the Hobby Center. First show fully produced by Houstonians, I think would have to be Panto Cinderella at Stages.
Current show you have been recommending to friends: Billy Elliot, Oh the Humanity (when it was open), and....of course...Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day at MST!
Favorite post-show meal: Taco Bell. Don't judge.Favorite show tune: "Old Friends" from Merrily We Roll Along makes me smile quite a lot. And, for some unexplainable reason, I love love LOVE the scene/song "Confession" from A Man of No Importance. I love the simplicity of how it chooses to tell the story, reveals more about the characters, and the charm it has. Really nice.
MAC or PC? Mac all the way! Apple loves taking my money.
Most played song on your iPod: Oh geez. Should I lie? Um....ok, Speechless by Lady Gaga.
Last book you read: Currently finishing The Hunger Games trilogy, also recently read and loved Anasai Boys by Neil Gaiman.
Must-see TV show: Big tv junkie. LOVE Modern Family, Parks and Rec, Community, and I have to stop whenever I see Golden Girls is on.
Last good movie you saw: I saw When Harry Met Sally for the first time a few weeks ago. How I went so long without seeing that movie, I'll never know.
Pop culture guilty pleasure: That's hard. I think my whole life is one big guilty pleasure. I sure love those Real Housewives of Wherever. Also, I've been known to enjoy Star Trek and other sci fi...so if that's not guilty, I don't know what is.
Favorite board game: Chutes and Ladders. Duh.Favorite cereal: Life!
Special skills: I have some mad rapping skills.
Who would play you in the movie? Angela Lansbury.
First stage kiss: Rachel Ludeman in Pirates of Penzance in 9th grade.
Worst onstage mishap: Just recently in Alexander I got a little too rambunctious with my sweater and it got stuck on a lighting instrument, and when it was pulled down it got unplugged. I'm sure there are MANY others, though....
Worst job you ever had: Hahahahahaha. I recently quit being a barista at Starbucks in the Galleria. That was pretty....terrible....
I have to add, saying "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" as quickly as possible every time I sell a ticket just makes me happy!
And that's the word on the street!
