MALCOLM YANCEY-BOBBY

WHICH SCHOOL YEARS WERE THE WORST FOR YOU? ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, HIGH SCHOOL? WHY?

I would have to say middle school was the worst for me. That was when I first got glasses and I was very self conscious about them. I thought I looked like a dork so I would take them off whenever I got to school, but then couldn't see a thing!


DID YOU HAVE A BULLY GROWING UP? IF SO HOW DID YOU HANDLE THEM?

I did! It was in middle school, that's when I think kids really start to be mean, and this one guy would always make fun of me!:( He would make fun of my clothes, my grades and was just plain nasty and I just tried to ignore it. Funny thing was, he really just wanted to be friends but thought I was "too cool" for him. Human beings are weird.


DID YOU EVER TRY RESOLVING YOUR ISSUES WITH BULLYING THROUGH THE POWER OF SONG? THAT SEEMS TO WORK IN MOST MUSICALS. 

No. No I did not. I will try it out next time though and let you know how it goes.


WHAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT GOAL YOU HAD GROWING UP?

I'm still working towards this goal, and that is to type my first name into Google and have myself be the first Malcolm that pops up. It's still a work in progress, but I think I'll have it completed by the end of 2016.


WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE WORKING ON "FATTY FATTY NO FRIENDS?"

It's been a blast working on this show again. A lot of things have changed and things are still evolving, but when you have a cast and creative team as talented as this one it makes the process very rewarding.


ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

FATTY FATTY NO FRIENDS IS THE STORY OF A KID. 
THE SKINNY KIDS HATED HIM, NO MATTER WHAT HE DID.
THEY TAUNTED HIM UNTIL HE TOOK REVENGE WITHOUT AMENDS.
IT WAS A TASTY LESSON FOR FATTY FATTY NO FRIENDS.
