Profile for ThisOrThat

Aww. Well, 90 is a long life. As I always say when the older celebrities transition, at least they were able to see their dreams come true and leave a legacy on video for their families and loved ones to forever cherish.

lovebway - LOL! I agree with you.

RaisedOnMusicals - Thanks for answering.

Do these proposals happen AFTER the show? I have never witnessed this. As a theater-goer who pays about $150 per ticket, I would rather my experience NOT include some non-show related event. Once I saw a show and the cast members asked for donations afterward (Chris Rock was starring). At church sometimes, politicians show up during service. I have since stopped going to that church. Personally, although I am happily single, I think it's nice when proposals are done privately. I've never unde...

@ kevinr - In response to your initial question, so far the average responses have noted that the ones that come out of the stage door are Tom Wopat (he got on his bike and rode off the two times I was there) and maaaaaybe Cuba Gooding, Jr. Experiences of theatre-goers have indicated that Cicely and Vanessa are not likely to come out (so far).

She's in her 80s. For the record, I am not complaining. I could care less. I didn't go to see Cicely -- sorry. I respect her but understand her not doing the stage door thing. I signed up today simply to respond to someone wondering about her coming out and to give others a heads up about how it worked the night I went.

Vanessa Williams - snubbed. She is the reason many fans of her 30+ year career came to see The Trip to Bountiful. All respect to the amazing legend Cicely, but I would not have paid to see her without Vanessa. Vanessa Williams is also a legend of her era and is one of the 3 top stars (and in the TV ads) yet Condola got a nod over her?!?! Seriously? Boooooooooo!

I just hope that people know that.

Yes, Vanessa Williams should have been nominated. It makes no sense to me.

Opinion in next post...

I hear ya Jordan. That exact same thing happened to me. I waited over 2 hours and no one but Tom Wopat came out on his bike. I was angry, but after reading about "stage dooring," a term I hadn't heard of prior, I understand not to expect the actors to come out. That said, I agree with what you are saying about security guys. While as someone said, they are not obligated to theater goers, there sure was a sense of "Stand and wait here, right here...wait for it...stay...okay...annnnnd [hours la...
