Rebecca’s Valentine Dream Date
Bermuda Broadway sensation Rebecca Faulkenberry’s ideal Valentine’s Day date would involve a ruggedly handsome A-lister with his own private jet — one he could fly her home to the island aboard.
Ms Faulkenberry — currently appearing as the title character’s love interest in the musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” — is one of a number of stars interviewed by the website Broadway.com about the upcoming February 14 celebration of romance.
Asked who she would choose if you could select any celebrity to spend Valentine’s Day with, Ms Faulkenberry yesterday [Feb.7] told the theatrical website: “I would like to spend Valentine’s Day with a celebrity who has access to a private plane so we can fly home to Bermuda for the day and go to the beach.
“And if he happens to come with really defined abs and lovely facial features, that will do too.”

The former Bermuda High School student who began acting as a youngster in Bermuda Musical & Dramatic Society and Bermuda Gilbert & Sullivan Society productions, said Valentine’s Day didn’t tend to be a red-letter day on her calendar.
“I honestly don’t remember any amazing extravaganzas I had celebrating Valentine’s Day,” she said. “I’ve probably had a few Valentine’s Day dinners when I was dating someone, but this year I’ll just celebrate that I’m a very happy, working, single lady—and I can buy myself dinner… unless, of course, someone’s offering.”
And while she said she had thus far avoided any spectacular Valentine’s Day disasters, she did recall an awkward date as a teenager growing up in Bermuda.
“When I was 15, my boyfriend worked at a church where they were holding the Valentine’s Day Dance,” she said. “Halfway through the dance, he brought me into an office room to give me my present.
“We had only been dating about two or three months, so you’re still in the lovey dovey, need-to-impress stage. Well, I got an enormous teddy bear, a box of chocolates, a bouquet of flowers, a gold necklace [that said '#1 sweetheart"'on it, naturally], a big card and whatever else; I can’t remember.
“Anyway, I can hardly call that a disaster, but in my adolescence I was so embarrassed and overwhelmed to be showered with all these over-the-top gifts, I recall acting really ungrateful and SO embarrassed to carry my armful of gifts to my mum’s car. Ya, wasn’t so much the #1 sweetheart that night!”
Playing at New York’s Foxwoods Theatre, the musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” is inspired by over 40 years of the Marvel Comics character co-created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko.
The hit show smashed Broadway box office and attendance records over the Christmas period. Ms Faulkenberry joined the “Spider-Man” cast in November.
