5 Questions with Jordan Shea

rsz_jordysheaWhat is your favourite swear word?
Shit. I find myself saying it over and over, and it can really be used in both a positive and negative way. If you’re called ‘The Shit’, that’s good, if you are ‘Shit’ well, that’s bad.

What are you wearing?
Chinos I bought recently from the Big Apple, and a t-shirt that promotes my current show: Company. I’m barefoot!

What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me. No, Love is indescribable, it’s a terrific feeling, but one that can come with a lot of weird quirks. It’s like a big beautiful mudcake. You take a bite, and it’s great, but then you can taste different things in it. I was fat as a child.

What was the last show you saw, and how many stars do you give it?
Last show I saw was Michael Jackson’s Cirque Du Soleil, that was pretty enormous and impressive. But the last play I saw was Return To Earth by Lally Katz, that was a lot of fun in a good space, highly recommended.

Is your new show going to be any good?
It really is. We live in a city where the work of such a brilliant composer (Sondheim) is vaguely touched upon, but when it is, it’s done brilliantly. This is a prime example. It’s definitely not a typical musical, but more of an intimate play with songs.
