Most likely to achieve the American Dream and/or be rolling in the dough?: Well after seeing Matt's portrayal of the tree, he's got to have it made. He really puts himself out there in this vulnerable place and I think people are going to commend him for it.

Most likely to become a future famous pop culture icon?: I think Matt’s godfather impression will take the place in pop culture of that Brando guys version. Either that or people will believe Elvis has been reborn when they see myself with all natural Elvis hair and sideburns. 

Most likely to multiple personality disorder (as a result of this show)?: Alex Kramer.. We're all worried. I caught him in the bathroom at tech putting on lipstick and shaving his legs for a 10 second scene as Marissa Tomei. He played it off as if he always does that but I'm not so sure. Then when he puts on the Reagan mask, bad things happen. He loses it. I found him on the streets at 3 am bashing his fists against the side of a PF Changs saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." His fists were bloody and he passed out soon after that. All of us are to scared to say anything...

Who’s the fastest gun slinger?: Corey. Kids got calluses on his trigger finger for John Wayne’s sake

Who’s the best singer?: Ben Diserens. He hits this note in “How to Make it in the Mob” and it is truly impeccable. I've never heard anyone hit a note so low. Every night he hits the "crimes" note, I really envy him.

If you could grab a beer with one pop culture icon from Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man, who would it be?: Jessica Rabbit ... I think we know why.

What pop culture icon do you think should’ve made an appearance in Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man?: I would say Daniel Day-Lewis but he's been secretly playing Michelle Kwan's pushup bra and none of us are allowed to acknowledge him so I guess I can say the play would have gotten a lot more publicity had be had the appearance of Mr. Lewis.. Or is it Day-Lewis? Is day his middle name? Whats goin’ on there?

Why should we come see Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man?: Come laugh at the ugly truths of society presented in the most fast paced, action-adventure, film noir, and spaghetti western dramas since Tommy Wiseau’s "The Room". Whether you’re laughing at us, or with us, at least your laughing.

Round Up Time with...Eugenio Vargas

Name: Eugenio Vargas

Hometown: Oak Ridge, Tennessee

Who’s the fastest gun slinger?: Cory. It's actually kinda terrifying.

Who’s the best singer?: I plead the 5th.

Who’s the most offensive?: I'd actually have to throw this one to James and Sean Patrick, the guys who wrote the show. They are equal opportunity offenders, and have found the perfect balance of being offensive to just about everyone and everything in one way or another throughout this show, which makes it ok.

If you could grab a beer with one pop culture icon from Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man, who would it be?: Bugs Bunny, hands down. That guy is a LEGEND.
What pop culture icon do you think should’ve made an appearance in Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man?: I feel like we could have used a good musical theatre diva. You know, a nice Ethel Merman or Patti Lupone. I don't know how exactly she would have fit in, but then again, before reading the script, I couldn't have told you how Waxy Gordon, Marvin the Martian, and Ben Franklin would fit in either.

Why should we come see Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man?: Someone, I can't remember who, referred to Little Mac as the stage version of The Lego Movie. I think that's pretty accurate in a lot of ways, ways that may or may not be clear when you see the show. And the Lego Movie was awesome. Ergo, our show is awesome. The only thing is we don't have our version of Everything is Awesome, but I'm working on getting the guys to write it and add it in.

Tell us about Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man: It's so many things all at once. Kind of hard to even put the whole thing in words. You really have to see it. I mean there are elements of a South Park or Team America kind of vibe but also it draws on Brecht's Threepenny Opera in different ways. So how do you really describe that succinctly?

If you could grab a beer with one pop culture icon from Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man, who would it be?: Gatsby, (Although it'd be a fancy cocktail instead of a beer.)

What pop culture icon do you think should’ve made an appearance in Little Mac, Little Mac, You’re the Very Man?: YONCE. YONCE. (Are you happy to be in Paris?)
