Because it is my name!

"How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!" said John Proctor.
If you're like me, I just mumble incoherently and taper off when I try to name some Broadway folk. Charlotte D'Amboise, Michael La Chiusa anyone? I found this helpful thread on Broadway world's message board. It discusses how names of Broadway actors and actresses are pronounced. Very enlightening indeed.

09 January ADDENDUM: See? Just quote something from Arthur Miller's The Crucible and the universe cooperates. The Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play is returning to the stage on 09 February. The off-Broadway Arclight Theatre will be home to the popular drama until 02 March. I saw the most recent revival in 2002, starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney. Very intense.
