- Domenick's favorite show at the Renaissance: The Barber of Seville because it's the only one I have seen. It was really good. The ones I am most looking forward to this coming season is The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and To Kill a Mockingbird.
- Domenick's favorite song: I don't know that I have just one. If I did it would come from a musical. My favorite musical is Kiss Me Kate.
- Domenick's favorite place to travel: I don't really travel, I just move a lot, but I would like to visit Florence, Italy.
- Domenicks nickname: Only my mother is allowed to call me 'Dom'.
