Scott
Rosenzweig - A Bio
A lot of people have written in asking who I am (really), where I’ve been, what I’ve done and what I’m doing now. And although everything on this site is by me and says a lot about me (at times too much) here’s the story on my professional careers through the years. I started out trying to be in show business from the time I was about 6 years old and although I managed to come close to getting somewhere in the business of show, I became what I call, “The greatest never was been there ever was.” I began my career on stage and in front of the camera early on and in the late eighties I started working at a dinner theater in Delaware where I decided to try my hand at choreographing and eventually directing as well as creating some musical revues. During my time as a director/choreographer/performer I was lucky enough to work for several different venues at the same time as the dinner theater. I did everything from directing for Virginia Opera to working as an Assistant Choreographer at Disneyland, to coaching competitive skaters on their performance rink side to working at the theater in the marketing department. It was also during this period I met the man who would become my life mate, Michael. (We celebrated twenty years together last August.) After eleven years at the theater Michael and I moved to Las Vegas where my parents live. My brother and his family live in San Diego so not only emotionally but now also geographically we can really be up one another’s asses. My first job in Vegas was as the show director for the opening of Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. The star-studded celebrities in attendance included Wayne Newton, Don King, Siegfried and Roy (pre-attack) and Neil Sedaka to name a few. The producer for that event went to work for GameWorks (an arcade based business with restaurant and bar) and needed some help coming up with creative events, grand openings and promotions for the company. Although I started out as the Director of Entertainment, after eight years, the company was bought by SEGA and I became the Director of Training for our 1500 employees. And let me say it was rather easy to give all that up and take on my latest corporate adventure - Executive Assistant! That's right, I'm now the Executive Assistant to a CEO with so much vision and good taste in clothes that I feel like Dolly Levi - "It's so nice to be back home where I belong." I finally found a way to live in the corporate world. You see, as I often tell my boss (who is so not gay) when I'm fixing a luncheon at the office, "It looks and tastes fabulous because I'm gay but it's cheap because I'm a Jew!" He has the best of both worlds and I'm enormously happy for both of us. On occasion I’ve been fortunate enough to still dabble in the show biz for example, for three years, co-creating, directing and choreographing the holiday show at the Fashion Show mall here in Vegas where we brought Santa, his classic Cadillac convertible, ten Rockette-esque girls and two toy soldiers out of the ground and onto their twenty foot fashion runway where they danced, sang and eventually Santa brought snow to the inside of the mall. When a friend encouraged me to write a blog for the Ultimate Fan Blogger competition for season three of Project Runway, I almost didn’t enter but at the last minute, threw 500 words into an email and ended up winning. Blogging for Runway led to the editor at Runway asking me about putting my regular blog on the outzonetv.com website blog roll. I knew I wanted to do something bigger and better than just my current blog and thus Some Like It Scott (.com) was born! In October 2006 my blog was voted one of the top ten by Advocate readers and along with being a guest blogger on outzone.com, my writing has appeared on a few other sites and newsletters. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on a stage and heard applause so this site and the writing have allowed me to be creative again and the comments people send in are my applause. What’s next is anyone’s guess. Thank you for taking the time to explore the site, send in your comments and for sharing this site with your friends. |

I was born
to the real-life Green Acres couple. While my father was raised on a farm, my mother was a city girl that drove a convertible,
hid movie magazines in her closet and dreamed of going to Las Vegas some day. This unlkely pair gave the world
two sons who were almost as opposite as they were themselves. The year my older brother was named third in the state for mathematics,
I failed geometry. While my brother would go on to marry and have two children, I found the man of my dreams. The man of my dreams happens
to be a six foot black man. Think about it, a six foot black man who was once an altar boy and a short Jewish boy. What does
that mean? It means that we are the poster children for hate crimes! Once when we went to see a friend in a show in lower
(slower) Delaware, the producer said to our friend when we left, "That was so nice of your friends, the negro and the
oriental to come see the show." We howled and called each other by these names for awhile. We've been together for
almost 20 years now. Being in a monogamous gay relationship is like dog years, so it makes our almost 20 years
really 642 in dog years. (Remember, I told you I was bad in math!) We now reside in fabulous Las Vegas with our two cats, Elphaba
and Fiyero (If you're confused by these names go see the Broadway musical, Wicked). I hope you enjoy my site and
I hope you realize that this site contains a version of my life, you know, sort of like when they make a movie of
someone's life - what you're getting here is the Hollywood version - it's more glamorous and much bigger than
life!
