>< Mickey says, "Susan, we have a lot of questions lined up. In fact you have

Invited Chat session! Are you ready for the first question?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Let's go for it!"
>< Mickey says, "Susan, we've also broken the attendance record for EMuck
tonight, thanks to you!"
>< SusanEgan says, "Well, thank you!"
>< First question:
>< (Cryslink) You've had a chance to play different roles - the ingenue, the
bad girl, the secret-identity cat burglar ;) ... are there any other roles
that you'd like to try? Do you have a "favorite" role that you've already
played?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "My favorite role is always the one I'm doing at the time."
>< SusanEgan says, "but I've been lucky to play characters that I've loved."
>< SusanEgan says, "I guess I would really enjoy doing something serious."
>< SusanEgan says, "maybe a Joan of Arc, what do you think?"
>< Mickey says, "Alanna asks a follow-up... what's your favorite musical?"
>< SusanEgan says, "hmmmmm...it's always changing....."
>< SusanEgan says, "today, Sweeney Todd."
>< Mickey says, "I'd like to see you in that musical!"
>< Mickey says, "What role would you like in it, if you were to do it?"
>< SusanEgan says, "People think I probably want to play Joanna."
>< SusanEgan says, "but I don't."
>< SusanEgan says, "I want to play Toby."
>< Mickey says, "Agarboy asks a follow-up, if you were to do a Joan D'Arc
movie, who would you want to write and direct it?"
>< SusanEgan says, "hmm, Kenneth Brannaugh."
>< Mickey says, "We have 68 questions in the queue still to go, so we'll try to
keep the follow-ups to a minimum. Let's move on!"
>< Next question:
>< (Cryslink) When you look back at your run in "Beauty and the Beast", is
there a memory that stands out as being extremely memorable for you?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh....there are so many good ones..."
>< SusanEgan says, "The first preview on Broadway -- it was my dream
coming true."
>< SusanEgan says, "Silly one: Terry pulled my wig off on stage!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I was bald, it was a horrible sight!"
>< SusanEgan says, "Children were crying, I'm sure!"
>< Mickey grins and asks a follow-up from Disneygirl, "Did he do it on
purpose?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Of course not!"
>< SusanEgan says, "but he had to wear these rubber Beast gloves so he could
never feel what he was touching!"
>< Mickey says, "A follow-up from Alanna: What's your fave song in BatB?"
>< SusanEgan says, "'Human Again'."
>< SusanEgan says, "It's what the whole play is about!"
>< Next question:
>< (Cryslink) How does it feel to know that you will go down in history as
being a part of a Disney Classic? Would you like to do another Disney film?
Have you always wanted to do a cartoon voice?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Honestly?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Being a voice for a Disney Animated Feature was a HUGE
dream of mine."
>< SusanEgan says, "It really was!"
>< SusanEgan says, "...precisely because Disney films are classics."
>< SusanEgan says, "Hercules will outlast me by far."
>< SusanEgan says, "And yes, I would love to do another."
>< Mickey says, "What is your favorite song *overall*, and do you think "Human
Again" should have been dropped from the animated feature production of BatB?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, Human Again should not have been dropped."
>< SusanEgan says, "and rumor has it that they are animating it for the next
release of Beauty and the Beast."
>< Mickey nods about that rumor
>< Mickey says, "And your fave song, even not in BatB?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh God, I don't know...."
>< SusanEgan says, "probably Send In the Clowns."
>< Mickey says, "OK, on to the REQUESTed questions again!"
>< Next question:
>< (MuSE) Um.. I was wondering if you've read any good books lately? ;) {I
like your taste! "Mists of Avalon"... fascinating!)
><
>< SusanEgan says, "I'm reading a great one now called the Snow Leopard by
Peter Mathieson."
>< SusanEgan says, "it's a true story about a man who treks thru the mountains
of Nepal."
>< Mickey says, "Agarboy follows-up, Have you read the sequel to the Mist of
Avalon, Lady of Avalon?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, is it good?"
>< Mickey says, "Is it, Agarboy?"
>< Mickey says, "He says Lady of Avalon is the Greatest of Arturian
literature!"
>< Next question:
>< (guest2) This is cool, isn't it?
><
>< Mickey grins at guest2
>< SusanEgan says, "it's WAY cool!"
>< Mickey says, "Phil wonders if you meant to say this is a "real slice" being
here. ;-)"
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< SusanEgan says, "it's the best thing since they put the pocket in pita!"
>< Mickey says, "Huh-hah!"
>< Next question:
>< (Angela) Hi!! Oh wow! I'm feeling a little star struck at the moment.
So..um.. after doing hundreds of performances as Belle, what were your
feelings as you took your bows in Beauty and the Beast for the last time?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Well, I felt fulfilled. I felt like I had really played
it for a good length of time."
>< SusanEgan says, "and it was time to give the role over to someone new."
>< Mickey says, "Starcade wonders if it was as rewarding as it appears to
be to see all the kids fulfill a dream of meeting "a princess" after the
show."
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh, I loved meeting the kids!"
>< SusanEgan says, "But sometimes they weren't as happy to meet me!"
>< SusanEgan says, "because I look like Peter Pan, not Belle!"
>< SusanEgan says, "but the kids always loved Willa!"
>< SusanEgan says, "(the Wonder Dog)"
>< Mickey says, "Starcade sends you a hug, Susan, and has to leave cause the
lab is closing. :-( Josie follows-up: Have you seen Sarah Uriarte or anyone
else in the role?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, I never did because I was in California!"
>< Mickey says, "Cinderella asks about the "real slice" line and wonders if it
was in the original script, or did you add it yourself?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Um, it was in the original script, but it was actually in
my audition scene."
>< SusanEgan says, "I think when I delivered it, I surprised them."
>< SusanEgan says, "because they were expecting Belle."
>< SusanEgan says, "The gesture that Meg does in the movie is what I did at
the audition."
>< SusanEgan says, "I think it's why I got the job."
>< Mickey says, "They expected sweet, innocent Belle, huh? And you sure
surprised them!"
>< SusanEgan says, "yep!"
>< SusanEgan giggles!
>< Mickey says, "What was your audition scene?"
>< SusanEgan says, "the scene when I first met Herc."
>< Mickey says, "OK! Back to the REQUESTed questions"
>< Next question:
>< (Phil) Got Danny DeVito's email Address? Let's just say there are some of
us who are...tired of Meg. =;o)
><
>< Mickey throws a cheese ball at Phil
>< SusanEgan giggles,
>< Mickey says, "Mind your manners, Phil!"
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh, Phil, Schmill!"
>< Mickey grins
>< SusanEgan says, "Aren't you late for something!"
>< Mickey says, "Were you alone at the audition or was there anyone else
famous there too?"
>< SusanEgan says, "I was there....shoot, I'm not going to remember this guy's
name...."
>< SusanEgan says, "but he was in Damn Yankees on Broadway."
>< SusanEgan says, "He played the coach"
>< SusanEgan says, "and when they were explaining what kind of person they
wanted to play Phil, his name was the description."
>< SusanEgan says, "and then he didn't even get the job."
>< SusanEgan says, "it'll come to me."
>< Mickey says, "Josie says Dick LaTessa was the coach in Damn Yankees, she
thinks."
>< SusanEgan says, "thank you, Josie!"
>< Mickey says, "EMuck's Phil apologizes and sends you a big kiss, by the way.
Back to the REQUESTed questions now..."
>< Next question:
>< (Double_D) How did Disney approach you for the role of Meg?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "They didn't! They wouldn't let me audition!"
>< SusanEgan says, "They had to audition everybody else in the world"
>< SusanEgan says, "before they'd even consider seeing me."
>< SusanEgan says, "They thought I was Belle."

>< Mickey grins but holds his ear defensively
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< Next question:
>< (Double_D) Did you work with the animators in developing the character of
Meg? Was there a lot of you in Meg's character?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Meg was based on the 1930s and 1940s fast-talking dames,
like Barbara Stanwyck."
>< SusanEgan says, "I loved those movies!"
>< SusanEgan says, "so I did my impersonations of those women."
>< SusanEgan says, "They filmed me while I recorded and they definitely used
my expressions and gestures, although I wish I had that head of hair, too. :)"
>< Mickey says, "lar3ry follows-up: If they thought you were only Belle,
did they approach you for any of the BatB sequels?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, Paige O'Hara does them."
>< SusanEgan says, "wonderfully, by the way."
>< Mickey says, "Speaking of sequels, will you be in the "Hercules" animated
series Disney is making?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, sob sob sob"
>< SusanEgan says, "Not yet because the animated series is about a teenage
Hercules"
>< SusanEgan says, "He hasn't met me yet!"
>< Mickey says, "You're not watching from the bushes, huh?"

>< SusanEgan says, "Nope, it's Tate."

Aniston got to play a part in one episode."
>< SusanEgan says, "I think Meg needs her own show, sob sob sob!"
>< Mickey agrees!
>< SusanEgan says, "Maybe an afternoon talk show!"
>< Mickey says, "Did you meet Jennifer Aniston, Pi wonders?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Yes! She's very nice and beautiful."
>< Next question:
>< (Double_D) Did you ever think that BatB on Broadway would be so popular?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh, gosh.... We didn't know what to expect because it
was Disney's first theatrical venture."
>< SusanEgan says, "But we loved doing it in rehearsal!"
>< SusanEgan says, "So we just hoped that that would translate in performance."
>< Mickey says, "Beast says he'll be the first guest on your talk show, and
Cogsworth says bring all of us on! ;-) Susan, you're certainly welcome to host
a talk show here on EMuck if you'd like!"
>< Mickey grins
>< SusanEgan says, "Thanks, Mickey!"
>< Next question:
>< (Double_D) What are your impressions about the new "Lion King" musical?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "I can't wait to see it!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I hear the first ten minutes are worth the price of
admission!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I'm so happy that Disney took a risk with this and made
it different than the movie."
>< SusanEgan says, "It's really paid off."
>< Mickey says, "Double_D wonders how you were chosen for the role of Belle."
>< SusanEgan says, "I almost didn't go to the audition, because I look like
Peter Pan!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I was one of the last people to audition. I think they
were auditioning for months."
>< SusanEgan says, "and something just clicked!"
>< SusanEgan says, "It made sense to me and I made them laugh."
>< SusanEgan says, "I think they liked that."
>< Mickey says, "They obviously were waiting for you."
>< Mickey smiles
>< Next question:

>< SusanEgan says, "Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch!"
>< Next question:
>< (JHaulsee) What's a "typical" day like when you're performing in UMPH?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "hi J!"
>< Mickey waves to J, too!
>< SusanEgan says, "You know what ice cream I love."
>< SusanEgan says, "What's my typical day!"
>< Mickey says, "I already asked that question, no fair! ;-)"
>< SusanEgan says, "Triumph of Love is really exhausting."
>< SusanEgan says, "but Sooooooo much fun!"
>< SusanEgan says, "So basically my day is to try to conserve energy so I can
release it during the show."
>< Mickey says, "Sweesa follows-up and asks if all the work in Triumph is
worth it"
>< SusanEgan says, "completely!"
>< Mickey says, "Agarboy follows-up asking if doing the same show over and
over gets boring?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No, that's the challenge."
>< SusanEgan says, "You gotta make it new for each audience!"
>< SusanEgan says, "...because it's the first time they've seen it."
>< Mickey says, "How long have you been with UMPH and are you performing
Wednesday afternoon?"
>< SusanEgan says, "I've been working on the show for a year"
>< SusanEgan says, "We've been on Broadway since September"
>< SusanEgan says, "And yes, I'll be there Wednesday!"
>< Mickey says, "Some of those in the audience wonder what UMPH is"
>< SusanEgan says, "Umph is Triumph of Love, because the show has a lot of
UMPH!"
>< Mickey giggles
>< Mickey says, "Next question?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Yes!"
>< Next question:
>< (Jujuevins) Leonide is one of the most dynamic roles created for an actress
in recent memory. What challenges did you face in creating the role? And are
there any other roles out there in musical theatre land that you've always
wanted to play?
><
>< Mickey says, "We've covered the second part of that, so only answer part
one, please"
>< SusanEgan says, "The challege is that Leonide wears three disguises..."
>< SusanEgan says, "a waif, a seductress, and a man."
>< SusanEgan says, "But that's what made it fun!"
>< SusanEgan says, "It's like playing Belle, the Beast, and Gaston!"
>< Next question:
>< (EricR) What actors or directors would you love to make a film with?
><
>< SusanEgan hmms.
>< SusanEgan says, "Robert Redford as a director, or actor. He's pretty
cute :)"
>< SusanEgan says, "He is an amazing director!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I'd love to work with Emma Thompson, Jodi Foster...."
>< SusanEgan says, "any of those smart women"
>< Mickey says, "Folks, I'm getting a lot of pages that aren't exactly
follow-ups... please use REQUEST to be fair to the others who've already put
in their questions."
>< Next question:

some of your favorite Disney animated films?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Bambi!"
>< SusanEgan giggles!
>< SusanEgan says, "I love the line "You can call me flower if you want to!"
>< Mickey says, "Susan, Dena says she'd like to sing with you. ;-) What about
Jennifer Aniston for the duet?"
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< SusanEgan says, "How about Jennifer Aniston gives me a job on her show, how
about that!?"
>< Mickey says, "How did you feel when Bambi's mother was killed, Agarboy
wonders."
>< SusanEgan says, "Thanks for pointing that out!"
>< SusanEgan says, "I'm in a great mood now!"
>< Mickey sorries and winks.
>< SusanEgan says, "Let's talk about Lion King, let's talk about that one!
What is it with Disney and Parental Deaths!"
>< Mickey says, "Yeah!"
>< Next question:
>< (RoLin) Let's see if I can get this right this time (I messed up before).
Susan, before I ask my question, I want to tell you once again how much I
loved your performance and the show. I'm trying to get back to NY to see it
again. Do you know if the show will transfer to a new theater, and if so when
will it reopen? I hope it does, b/c a show this good doesn't deserve to close
so soon. Thanks!! Hope to see you soon!-Lindsey
><
>< SusanEgan says, "We're hoping the show will transfer."
>< SusanEgan says, "But this season is so crazy!"
>< SusanEgan says, "If your show isn't Ragtime or Lion King, it's a struggle."
>< Mickey says, "The lease is running out on your current theater?"
>< SusanEgan says, "yes."
>< Mickey says, "When?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Our lease is up January 11, so we'll have to move and if
we do we'll play the O'Neill in mid-February."
>< Mickey says, "You can do the show here on EMuck in this Audtorium, if you'd
like. ;-)"
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< SusanEgan says, "Thanks, Mick!"
>< SusanEgan says, "Can I call you Mick?"
>< Mickey says, "Sure can!"
>< Mickey says, "JHaulsee says "A move was built into the budget. Does that
play a factor in the move equation?"
>< SusanEgan says, "Keep your fingers crossed!"
>< SusanEgan says, "and remember everything's for a reason."
>< SusanEgan says, "They have the money to move it"
>< SusanEgan says, "It's just a matter of, you know, how busy the season is
and if we'll sell well."
>< SusanEgan says, "But we're all really optimistic."
>< Mickey says, "Sweesa says 1/11 is a lucky number and don't worry, it'll go
through. Is the new theater near the old, wonders g.Ernie?"
>< SusanEgan says, "The new theatre is 4 blocks north."
>< Mickey says, "Jujuevins wonders about a national tour for UMPH. Will there
be one?"
>< SusanEgan says, "We certainly hope so!"
>< Next question:
>< (Angela) What did you think of Hercules the first time you saw the finished
production?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "It was really weird!"
>< SusanEgan says, "When I heard the voices, I was still picturing Tate and
James, not the characters."
>< SusanEgan says, "But about a half hour into it, I forgot it was us, and
had a lot of fun!"
>< Mickey says, "Some of us picture you when Meg speaks, Susan. ;-) What's
your favorite line in Hercules that you said?"
>< SusanEgan hmms.
>< SusanEgan says, "A couple of rodents looking for a theme park!"
>< Mickey likes that one!
CHIME> CUCKOO!
>< Mickey says, "Followup from TishTash..."
>< Mickey says, "Wasn't the O'Neill (original theater) considered too small
for UMPH?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No!"
>< SusanEgan says, "Grease has been playing at the O'Neill for years now. It
wasn't available."
>< Next question:
>< (Alice) How did you begin work in voice-over? What comments would you
offer to others wishing to do voiceover work?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "I had never done a voiceover before, but these Disney
animated features, they really look for musical theatre actors."
>< SusanEgan says, "So I lucked out!"
>< Mickey says, "No, we did!"
>< Mickey says, "We got to see you onstage in BatB, and also hear you and see
your mannerisms in Meg in "Hercules""
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh, that's so sweet!"
>< Mickey bows
>< SusanEgan says, "I didn't go the normal route of a voiceover actor."
>< Next question:
>< (AbsoluteX) Among all the roles you have played, which character that you
relate to the most?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "I relate to a lot of them, because they have qualities
that I share."
>< SusanEgan says, "Um, like Belle, I love to read."
>< SusanEgan says, "...like Leonide, I'm driven"
>< SusanEgan says, "...like Meg, I'm sarcastic"
>< SusanEgan says, "You see what I mean!"
>< Mickey says, "You have a Beast-like dog, don't you? ;-)"
>< Mickey grins
>< SusanEgan says, "Yes!"
>< SusanEgan says, "She's a 'Beauty', too!"
>< Next question:
>< (AbsoluteX) What is your favorite Disney character and what's your favorite
non-Disney cartoon character?
><
SusanEgan exclaims, "Oh my gosh!"
>< SusanEgan says, "My favorite character is Goofy"
>< Mickey says, "Gawrsh!"
>< SusanEgan says, "My favorite non-Disney character might be Marvin the
Martian!"
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< Mickey likes those choices
>< Next question:
>< (AbsoluteX) What attracted you to the role of Meg?
><
>< Mickey says, "Were you tired of playing a Belle-like character?"
>< SusanEgan says, "No! Interesting 3-dimensional character. I never got
tired of her."
>< Next question:
>< (AbsoluteX) Among the different personas that Leonide disguises, which is
your favorite?
><
>< SusanEgan says, "I love them all! because they help me win the guy I love!"
>< SusanEgan says, "It's fun to be sexy!"
>< Mickey's hormones are raging, Susan.
>< SusanEgan says, "and it's fun to be like a dashing guy."
>< Mickey smirks

>< Mickey says, "Was it performed then?"

>< SusanEgan says, "Ira Levin, who wrote it, and the man who produced the
album, Bruce Kimmel"
>< Next question:
>< (Belle) Can you tell a bit why your high school became the Orange County

><

>< Mickey giggles
>< SusanEgan says, "My music teacher, Ralph Opacic developed a great music
department."

Paul Newman or Audrey Hepburn."
>< Mickey says, "I have blue eyes, too, ya know. ;-)"
>< Mickey bats his baby blues
>< SusanEgan giggles.
>< SusanEgan says, "I think it's important to know that success isn't the
final step."

of people you just described!"
>< SusanEgan says, "That's sweet! I'm not there yet, though."
>< Next question:
>< (TishTash) I tried Instant Messaging you on AOL -- didn't mean to scare you
-- but just how many emails do you get a day?"

seemed ;)"
>< SusanEgan says, "Sometimes Belle was cracking up instead of angry."
>< Mickey says, "Oh!"
>< Next question:
>< (Pi) How do you feel about that whole Disney versus Anastasia thing!?!
><
>< SusanEgan says, "Oh, I don't believe in competition. I believe success
begets success."

see more animated features, thereby helping Disney, and vice versa."
>< Next question:
>< (Yojimbo) Besides Joan of Arc you've also mentioned Portia as a role you
might play; have you ever done any Shakespeare?

desc :) ?"

Belle says, "Susan had to get some sleep, Sunni...she has a early morning
shoot on her set for her new movie."
Wrynne cheers and dances into the air
Sunni says, "aww"
Mickey says, "We'll certainly keep her account for her here on EMuck, and
she's welcome back whenever she has time"
Wrynne says, "Not likely. There will probably be more"
Dale goes home.
Dale has left.
Belle exclaims, "DD, with a star like Susan, there will be a zillion people on
if she comes back, like there were tonight! :)"
Angela says, "I wanted to present the TonyMuck Award. Did she even take it
with her?"
Belle exclaims, "NOTE: If Susan is back next time, we will have a far more
powerful home for EMuck for her!"
Double_D asks, "What if it was unannounced?"
Sunni says, "anyone got a hammer, I going to beat up my ISP"
MuSE says, "She picked it up Angela"
Angela says, "ok"
Mickey says, "Angela, MuSE told me to mention the award, so I did.... You got
credit for making it"
Belle exclaims, "EMuck's new home is starting to fall into line--a few more
weeks of testing and we will be ready to move!"
Sunni kick the evil Meteor Server
Cogsworth asks, "More next time? Beter let us have an entire day, if she could
get us in."
Beast notes that he has tested the new server...it is VERY fast.
Gusto sings 0/~ If I had a hammer... o/~
Disneygirl think she will be here a lot more often, if Susan might come back!
:)
MuSE says, "Thank you Mickey for drawing her attention.. it was very crowded!"
Mickey exclaims, "Yes, and the new EMuck home is SMOKIN'! Really fast"
Rufus exclaims, "Yes Beast, but I can't *read* any faster!"
Mickey bows to MuSE
No Smoking, Please.

Belle says, "Cogsworth, it's in testing right now....."
Angela is still feeling sad
Double_D says, "We don't know yet."
Sunni says, "it worked, i not laging"
Wonderment says, "Likes the entire day idea :)"
Belle says, "we will be sure to let everyone know what the new address is, of
course."
Mickey says, "All in due TIME, Cogsworth. all in due TIME. ;-)"
Disneygirl asks, "How do we request special guests?"
Cogsworth says, "Yes, but when it comes out of testing..."
Belle exclaims, "disneygirl, just let us know!"
MuSE exclaims, "Yup - she still has it!"
TishTash says, "Having any more people here would be rather unwieldly."
Wrynne butterfly-kisses Angela
Mickey says, "Well, Disneygirl, let me know -- and if you have their e-mail
address that helps! ;-)"
Sunni says, "yeah, I love to talk to Jymon Magon"
Beast consoles Angela by offering her some of Mrs Potts' hot coca and a tiny
muffin from an enchanted silver tray.
Disneygirl asks, "Okay, Belle, does anyone know how to get in touch with ILene
Woods? She's my favorite. :)"
Double_D says, "Brb..stopping my log."
RoLin has left.
Belle says, "we have ways of getting people here, disneygirl. ;)"
Angela thanks Beast
Rufus says, "Having this many people was unwieldy. Figaro logged off early
because he couldn't read fast enough to make any sense of it all."
Disneygirl exclaims, "Okay, well use them! On ILene!"
Wrynne says, "I hear THAT"
MuSE says, "ok b'ys - I gotta go... I'm the one that has to say up til 2 <g> I
have to travel home tomorrow too!"

Lumiere exclaims, "Goodbye MuSE!!!!!"
Belle says, "yes, next up are Wayne Allwine...."
Angela says, "I wish I could talk to Susan by myself"
Wrynne yawns
Beast says, "Goodnight all who are leaving."
Double_D has TONS of q's for them!
Mickey says, "Disneygirl, be careful what you wish for... that's all I'll say.
;-)"
MuSE huggles Lumiere... good to see you again!
Disneygirl says, "Come on, ILene do rah do, come one, ILENE do rah do...."
Belle smiles. It's public record that we've already extended a written
invitation to Jodi Benson.
Sunni says, "lumiere"
Cogsworth says, "Goodnite all."
Wrynne heads out of the auditorium and goes to Mickey's Cyber Diner.
Sunni smiles
Cogsworth exclaims, "Jodi Benson, I'm not off yet!"
Beast is trying to get some folks on, also. That's all he'll say. :-)
TishTash says, "Jodi Benson ... isn't she born-again?"
Disneygirl asks, "hy should I be careful about that? I *really* want her to
come! :)"
Wonderment watches the ...dots after what Belle said :)
Mickey winks at Disneygirl
Double_D says, "Brb.."
Belle says, "I didn't expect this many people. perhaps one idea is to make
several other auditoriums and divide the audience up evenly."
Gusto says, "If you can get an invitation off to Rob Paulsen I'd be very, very
happy. ;)"
Mickey says, "...Russi Taylor"
Wonderment hugs Mickey in a great big yer welcome!
g.jolumiere (lawnorder.nbc.com) says, "What about asking Jerry Orbach?"
Disneygirl says, "Hey Mickey, I met Jodi too"

Belle says, "we'll work on that."
Double_D has left.
MuSE has left.
Mickey says, "g.JoLumiere, I'd love to have Jerry Orbach here. How can I get
in touch with him?"
Cogsworth says, "Great idea."
Belle says, "ok. We will have that ready for the Allwine talk, sometime in
January."
Sunni says, "or Jymon to, right gusto :)"
Disneygirl asks, "Who is Jerry Orbach?"
Gusto asks, "Who?"
TishTash says, "The voice of Lumiere."
Mickey says, "He was Lumiere in the BatB movie"
Angela says, "lumiere's voice"
Lumiere smiles. :)
Sunni says, "oyr creator, Jymon Magon"
Disneygirl says, "Oh yeah. :)"
Beast exclaims, "Jerry Orbach was the voice of Zachary Fox on the Galaxy
Rangers!"
Beast smiles
Cogsworth spins the hands upon his face.
TishTash says, "he's also in Law and Order. Mickey, I would write him at NBC."
Angela can't believe Susan left
Gusto says, "Ah. Okay... Now I know who you mean."
Mickey smirks at Beast
Sunni sees Gusto blushe
Mickey says, "Thanks, TishTash"
Belle says, "well, we don't want to keep her up all night, Angela."
Sunni says, "yeah"
Gusto does not blush one tiny bit.
Double_D has arrived.
Double_D arrives and pauses to catch his breath from a brisk run.
Double_D yawns.
Cogsworth says, "Good bye."
Angela is mad that the chats are so late!!
Sunni nods
Cogsworth gets up and exits through the door to Arbordale Center.
Sunni says, "too early for me"
Angela hates time zones
Wonderment looks at the wise mage known as Double D.
Beast asks, "Mickey, when are we going to have me on as an invited speaker?
:-)"
Mickey says, "Robby Benson?"
Mickey faints
Double_D grabs a broom..."Fore!"
Belle giggles.
Double_D rides around the room, cackling.
SusanEgan has left.
Mickey says, "Bye, Susan!"
Mickey grins
Sunni asks, "hows Meecelet?"
Angela exclaims, "See, I told you I wouldn't be able to get a word in
edgewise!"
Suddenly Susan! (leaves)
Disneygirl asks, "Was Susan here again?"
Mickey says, "Meecelet's wonderful! Enjoyed WDW again very much"
Wonderment says, "That could be interesting. :) I used to have his
number like 7 years ago :P Nice fellow"
Gusto says, "No... Unfortunately."
Mickey says, "No, that was her in here, asleep (non-connected), Disneygirl"
Wonderment exclaims, "eep! I missed "look"ing at Sue!"
Disneygirl says, "Oh. :)"
Sunni says, "yeah, did he enjoy a certain PB"
Belle smiles.
Sunni says, "me to"
Disneygirl asks, "Can we scan her?"
Belle rides around the room, cackling.
Sunni looks at the young woman in blue and white.
Mickey says, "Sure"
SunniGummi looks at Belle's Plush Beast.
Sunni pets Plush Beast, who gets up on his plush hind legs and begs for a
Scooby Snack.
Plush Beast eeps a plush eep.
Double_D says, "It doesn't say anything. That's all."
Disneygirl says, "Oh, not much to look at. :)\"
Mickey says, "Go ahead and 'scan SusanEgan'"
Angela didn't even get to tell Susan Egan about the drawing of her.
Disneygirl says, "In a @desc sense, anyway. :)"
Double_D asks, "PB was here the while time?"
Wonderment says, "neat :)"
Mickey says, "Her desc is "Actress Susan Egan""
Double_D says, "Whole"
Sunni says, "yeah, he was hiding"
Angela says, "Rufus scanned my picture and my drawing for me"
TishTash asks, "Say, Mick: how'd she make the chat from a 10:30 curtainclose?"
Double_D says, "I have a lot of editing this week."
Belle smiles.
Mickey says, "Very quickly, TishTash~"
TishTash says, "People speculated she was typing from her prod. offices."
Wonderment smiles... "it'll be neat to hear about WDW n stuff uff f :)
Mickey says, "She told me she might be late. Luckily she wasn't"
Sunni smiles hearing about the new disney toon network
Double_D is checking any system stats.
TishTash says, "Guys, I just want to say, how honored I was to be a neophyte
amongst you. You're all officers and gentlepeople."
Rufus asks, "Wonderment, what do you want to hear about WDW?"
Double_D asks, "Toon network?"
Gusto nods to Sunni, then hopes his local TCI cable company will actually get
it.
Double_D says, "Thank you."
Sunni also does to
Mickey says, "TishTash, you are quite welcome! Thanks!"
Gusto nods to DD. "Yep... 'Toon Disney' it'll be called."
Sunni says, "yeah"
Sunni says, "yeah head to head with CN"
Double_D says, "I haven't heard this."
Gusto says, "Lots of good WDTVA stuff will be on there."
Gusto grins.
Wonderment exclaims, "Oh! Just about the fun and rendezvous :) Maybe
later tho, I dont want to take away from the splendor of the Susan moment
:)"
Lumiere says, "Toon Disney will only be offered to cable companies currently
offering Disney Channel as a basic channel."
Sunni says, "yeah, and the return of GB"
Angela is depressed. "I gotta go now. Nite everyone. sigh ."
Gusto nodnods to Sunni.
Lumiere says, "That means I won't get it. :("
Mickey says, "Seeya, Angela!"
Double_D scratches his head.
Sunni says, "Lumi, TDC is going basic after this year"
Double_D exclaims, "Why wasn't I notified!?"
Rufus says, "Wonderment, as soon as I get my web pages uploaded with my trip
report, I'll post a notice in the General newsgroup."
Mickey grins
Gusto nods to Lumi. "My cable system just got TDC as a free channel, but that
doesn't mean they'll carry Toon Disney."
Belle hugs Angela. goodnight! I hope you had a good time.
Mickey says, "Meecelet, you can stop taking notes on what people say now."
Meecelet says, "Thanks, Mickey!"
Lumiere exclaims, "Goodnight Angela!"
