IMO, as long as folks don't operate under the delusion that these performers are their personal friends, it's okay. It's when they start confusing getting an autograph with "knowing" someone that I question.

taylor-Daniel Radcliffe is a great one, very kind and down to earth, and if you dont just yell and scream at him like everyone else, he just might exchange a few words with you
As for me: Tim Curry Norbert Leo Butz Matthew Broderick Roger Bart Nathan Lane (when he's in a better mood than last time...) Anthony Rapp Hank Azaria
My dream came true of meeting Laura Benanti recently. My other dream is to meet Kristin Chenoweth someday.

I'm dying to meet Ruthie Henshall. I saw her at Stairway to Paradise, but she was running, so I didn't want to stop her. And then at Chicago10 in London she was literally a foot away from greeting the fans at the stagedoor, when the pulled her back to take press photos, and by the time she was done, she had to run to catch her train.
