It‘s all good at Boghosian's
Chicken Charlie‘s stand. The
38—year-old from San Diego
says all the new stuff has been a
hit on this season‘s fair circuit.
At other fairs before Fresno. for
example. he sold 30.000 cups of
the cola concoction at $5.50 a
pop. (He uses the cola brand
that is officially affiliated with
the fair he is working.)

()n a recent Wednesday
morning. Boghosian gate an in—
troduction to deep-fried Pepsi,

“I tell people this Pepsi
doesn't need a straw." he says.
"It needs a fork."

Instead of water. he mixes
Pepsi with flour to make a bat-
ter. He randomly pours lines of
it into a soybean oil. which he
says has zero trans fats and zero
carbohydrates.

 

 

The lines break into squig-
gly curlicues. like pieces of a
funnel cake. as they quickly turn
golden brown.

Flawed auditions took ‘Rent’ star
from Starbucks to Broadway

Bit Emi'LCmejt

For many UK students. Anthony Rapp
isn‘t just an actor ~ he‘s an icon.

Rapp. best known for his role as Mark
Cohen in the Tony Award—winning musical
“Rent." took to the stage of Memorial Hall
last night to speak about his experiences in
the show.

"(‘Rent‘) was the most important pro~
ject I've ever been a part of," Rapp said.

Rapp. who jtist finished his return to the
musical on Broadway. said his joumey' with
“Rent" began in IOU-l wheti he was work-
ing what he called a “suryival job" at Star»
bucks. Rapp said many actors work “surr
vival jobs" to sustain themselves while they
have no work.

Rapp said he went to his agent. who
told him about "Rent." At the time. it was a
new rock opera project written by Jonathan
Larson.

“The phrase ‘rock opera‘ didn‘t fill me
with tremendous confidence." Rapp said.

Despite this. Rapp said that upon read
ing the description of the opera. he began to
feel different. especially because it included
characters with HIV and AIDS. which he
thought made it more interesting.

After meeting with his agent. Rapp
said. he auditioned for the show. Since
“Rent" had more of a rock theme. Rapp
said he chose to sing R.Ii.M.‘s “Losing My
Religion" rather than a more traditional mu-

sical-theater piece.

But at his audition. he made a few mis-
takes.

"I messed up part of the song." Rapp,
said. “I jumped a verse. but I got called
back anyway."

Rapp said he also screwed tip his call»
back audition but got the part anyway.

"It's not about w hethcr what you bring
to the room is perfect biit it it‘s unique."
Rapp said.

After getting the part. Rapp quit his iob
at Starbucks and began attending rehearsals
for the musical. He said the first day was
awkward “like the first day ot school "

Rapp said before the actors Icariicd the
music. they had been wary of how the re-
hearsals tnight go.

“We weren‘t simply playing charac—
tcrs." he said. “The goal was that we would
fitid ourselycs iii the characters iso w e
could) express what might not otherwise
have been expressed"

Rapp said after singing "Seasons of
I.o\ c" at the first rehearsal. he knew that he
was part of something big.

“It was the first true indication that I
was part of something extraordinary Rapp
said. ”As I sang. the power of (Larson‘s)
words resonated through me."

On the night of the dress rehearsal.
Rapp said. friends and colleagues came to
listen to the musical and were so impressed

by what they had seen that they
went to thank Larson immedi-
ately following the perfomiance.
Even The New York Titties
asked Larson for an on-the—spot
interview.

“That was a big deal be
cause The New York Times
have a lot of say in what is suc»
eessful or not (in the art world)."
Rapp said.

After Larson went home that
night. however. he collapsed
and died from an undiagnosed
heart condition. Rapp said.

Rapp found out about Lar-
son‘s death when the phone rang
the next moming.

"(lti was the most unexpect-
ed phone call of in) life." Rapp
said.

Larson hadn’t been feeling
well. but no one had expected
his death. Rapp said. Since Lar—
son passed away the night be-
fore his shows premiere. the
cast decided to perfonn for Lar-
son‘s friends and family instead
of a regular audience.

Larson's father. Al Larson.
spoke to Rapp after the perfor—
mance. telling him he had to
make the show a hit.

"He knew this would be
what would keep his son alive."
Rapp said.
