Kate Shindle was really sweet and gracious. She was complimenting fans on their scarves and stuff, just super nice all around.
Christian Hoff and Daniel Reichard are really nice too.

Other people that come to mind: Nikki Snelson, Hunter Bell (heck, the entire [tos] cast), Richard Blake, Krysta Rodriguez, Mandy Gonzalez, Julia Murney, Tracy Jai Edwards, Emily Swallow...

Posted: 4/16/08 at 7:19pmAlice Ripley has been super nice when I've met her. And Emily Skinner could not have been sweeter the two times I've met her ~ even when one of those ended with a monsoon off the Potomac. Both just ultra-nice.

In my 18 years of going to the theater in New York, I've waited to meet 5 people, and all 5 were kind, sweet and gracious!
Rosie O'Donnell after Grease, Chita Rivera after Spiderwoman, Michael Rupert after Falsettos, Betty Buckley after Sunset, and Victor Garber after Damn Yankess.

Posted: 4/16/08 at 9:57pmNoah Weisburg was the nicest actor I've ever met. I had a loooong conversation with him while we were on strike outside the Palace. I had another looong conversation with him later that day when I was walking to Young Frankenstein and realized I didnt get a pic with Nikki Snelson (who is also on my list) and we ended up talking for like 20 minutes. It was great. Roger Bart is also a doll. Katie Rose Clarke is great. Annaleigh Ashford is nice. Lauren Molina, Natalie Johnson, Alex Geminiani. Most actors are pretty nice if you are polite and gracious. :)

Posted: 4/16/08 at 10:07pmOh my God! Beth Leavel was SO KIND! Also, Johnathan Groff wad fantastic and so was Rosie. Christine Ebersole was very gracious after Grey Gardens, but she was quiet and reserved because I think she was tired.
You look absolutely terrific, honestly.

Posted: 4/16/08 at 10:08pmI would have to say hands down Tim Hower for me. We were talking for a bit after a performance of Rent and we ended up walking and talking towards the subway. We ended up walking and talking and we were both going in the same direction of the same train that we needed to take so our conversation went on from there and onto the subway until we both got off at our respective stops.
