After actually seeing Wicked for the first time, Ayers was “blown away.” “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “I thought, ‘Oh my god! What in the world have I gotten myself into?’” When the time came for his first performance as the dashing Fiyero, Ayers admits he was nervous but has now learned to just relax and have fun. “It’s basically just getting focused and getting ready,” he says. “It’s like, game time!”
Last night, I had a dream. I found myself in a bookstore called Panta Rhei. Idina had come there and she started to sing Defying Gravity. Poeple started to sing too. Me too. And than, when she finished song she looked at me and said “You dont know about what is this song, do you?” and I said “Of course I do! Why should I not? “:D and thats all:D Stupid dream:D
” I even went and got some pictures done with a straight wig on to combat that idea. Is there discrimination in Hollywood? Absolutely. Is there hair discrimination specifically? Absolutely. It has come up. But I try not to let it deter me. I did think that I would for one summer get a weave and see what happens. But I’m a little scared to do it!!! Because If I do it and then start booking more jobs, will I be stuck with a straight weave forever???!!! It’s a dilemma… we’ll see what happens… ”
