With the price of gas,I'm surprised anyone in NY drives anywhere.

OK, as a general rule, I think this is kind of odd. However, I do have one particular subway sighting that I remember, just because I found the circumstances highly amusing (in a sad sort of way).

It was the day after Wicked opened and who should I spot on the uptown 1, but Joe Mantello. He was glaring rather dejectedly straight ahead. What is he glaring at, you ask? The woman in the seat across from him reading the New York Times Arts and Entertainment section with Brantley's (shall we say) less than stellar review of Wicked there for all (and poor Joe) to see. I don't remember what the headline was now, but it wasn't very pretty. "Something Rotten in the State of Oz," or something to that effect.

Christopher Sieber, Marc Kudisch, Tony Vincent, Victoria Clark and Kristin Chenoweth. This was during Wicked previews so before the huge hype. All on the 1 train. there's been more, but all I can think of now.

Today, I got on the 1 Train at 79th street around 6:50pm and Troy Britton Johnson got on with me. It looked exactly like him but I wasn't sure if it was him at first (red cap, tight faded red shirt, dark green shorts, sneakers, no socks), but then he got off at 42nd street and walked out of the subway station, so I assume he was going to the theater. The timing was right (since they are called usually an hour before curtain) and I seem to recall him wearing that red cap in some fan pictures. Too bad I didn't realize it was him earlier...I would have said hi and told him how much I loved his performance in Drowsy. He probably doesn't get recognized often, so I'm sure it would have made his day...next time though!

It WAS him...this is the red cap he was wearing!

I must say, he was looking hot as ever! Damn, he is so gorgeous.

Dammit, it's my cap! You should see how good I look when I'm wearing it!

LOL. It wasn't the cap, Dollypop. It was his rippling muscles (ripple, ripple, ripple - isn't that a line from Hello, Dolly!) through that tight tshirt and his legs looked really toned as well. That man must live at the gym when he isn't at the theater. He actually looks better without the cap...his hair is amazing!

I didn't know people were REALLY like that.

I thought it was all a joke.

But, damn.

I remember the WICKED review headline (because of what it's based on):

"There's Trouble in the Emerald City" ala THE MUSIC MAN.
