As part of my continuing mission to rave about Huey Lewis's performance on Broadway, I bring you the link to the "Ask a Star" page from Broadway.com.
I like how relaxed and off the cuff he is with his responses (see, e.g., Gerald's question), although perhaps his proofreading skills need some work... (see, e.g., Thea's question.)
I think I actually know (see, e.g., John's question), or at least know of, (see, e.g., Greg's question) some of the people who submitted questions, which is kinda interesting, I guess. And I guess, fan that I am, I probably knew much of what he would say to most of these questions, although some of it was new to me (see, e.g., Nanci's question). For instance, I had previously thought they wouldn't be touring this year, but perhaps the band will see me through law school yet?
And in that law school-vein I feel compelled to confess that I can't remember whether or not to italicize the punctuation appearing in the "see, e.g.," citation form. However, it makes me wonder if the Chicago production includes a scene where the Billy Flynn character bluebooks. If not, I think the omission seriously undermines the authenticity of Huey's performance as a lawyer...

You italicize all of the punctuation marks in the "see, e.g.," cite *except* the last comma, which is not italicized.
This is the kind of knowledge which prepares me to be a devastatingly effective lawyer in the real world. "Counsel, we were going to rule against your client, until we noticed that your brief italicized precisely the right punctuation marks".

I find it hard to believe that anyone would bother to cite check for formatting in the actual practice of law.

WHAT??? You mean our arduously-honed ability to cite check has no utility outside of law school??? La la la I can't hear you...
