      No matter what anyone’s first exposure to Mandy Patinkin is, when they find out he’s a legendary triple threat, they’re sure to say “wait… THAT guy?” (My first real Patinkin experience was his self-titled show-tunes album, which I was learning a song for an audition from. It was… not an easy performance to replicate.)

    A necessary life correction! “As you wish” is necessary in the for-public-use lexicon of parents of teens!
