Well, the Guthrie Theater doesn't want you to have to choose, so it's offering audio tours featuring all six of the local celebrities listed above.
Now, of course to enjoy them all you'd have to tour the building six times, but just think how well you'll know the building by then...
Each of the guide were given the same script, but were encouraged to embellish with their own thoughts and stories.
The tours are available for free download on iTunes, or you can rent an iPod for $5 at the theater box office.
Unfortunately the tour does not include any of the building's three theaters - you'll need to buy tickets to get a peek at those.
