Okay...I keep going back and forth wondering if I should post these stories but gah I can't help myself...besides this is his love thread, and an effort to keep it ontopic anywayz...
So another fun day in the city yesterday. I meant to see an afternoon show but there wasn't what I was expecting on TKTS so I went to the museum of TV where I'm a member, watched broadway related stuff awesome. Then at night, a couple of us tried wicked lotto, someone won, so Nard got to go but not me...hrmph. So I decided to TKTS Beauty and the Beast, realized I hadn't seen it in 11 years and since I've seen everything else fairly recent, figured it'd be fun to go back. Very glad I did, I was soo young, it felt like I was seeing the show for the first time, I was in front mezz too, great seats.
Anywayz...now I forget if I mentioned this or not, but the other day at my aunt's house I discovered hundreds of old playbills she had that she didn't realize she did, so she gave them all to me. The best part for me is some of the playbills of shows I saw when I was really young but never kept--Sound of Music, King and I, Beauty and the Beast...and the first show I ever saw....Damn Yankees!(which Greg was in...) So I brought the playbill w/ me, thought there was a chance I'd end up at DRS again but glad I saw BATB, but it was right across the street from DRS so I figured might as well walk over to the stage door and show it to Greg.
Very cute story before he saw me...as he was signing and stuff, there was a cute little boy who informed Greg that he stole the show, haha. Greg told him he could come back anytime, soo cute.
Then he saw me and I showed him the playbill and he got soo excited to see it, he started flipping through it, read his old who's who, looked at cast and stuff...at one point Paula who was also in the show passed by and she was like OMG! and glanced at it for a bit, I guess they get really excited to see these things. It was really funny, Greg's just standing there reading the playbill w/ lots more ppl waiting for pics and autographs, finally someone I think said ohh could you sign this when you get a chance so finally he realized and said hold onto this I'll look through the rest when I'm done signing lol, it was funny. We finished looking through it-laughed at his old photo when he didn't have grey hair(which I found out was taken in '92). He asked me if I wanted it signed I was like err...I guess, felt weird, and then he asked if I wanted it personalized and I was like sure...so now I have a personalized copy of the playbill of the first show I ever saw...think I wanna get it framed
Ohh I had been waiting for ages to bring up the friends episode so I finally blurted it out and asked how he possibly could have kept a straight face...he said he thinks he got the part because he kept a straight face. Glad I finally got that out, lol. Then he walked home w/ friends, and I carried my playbill around close to me the rest of the night lol.
Ooh, one more thing I felt awful about. The stage door didn't seem as crowded as usual, but some ppl decided to totally ignore barriers so they completely surrounded the door from all sides and poor ensemble members and everyone else had difficulty getting out. I said hi to both Andrew and Rachelle and felt bad how they had to wait to get through. Also amusing in the beginning ppl were coming out and Jack walked by and some mom said oh I think he played in pit. I laughed.
Great day once again. Think I may try to refrain myself from going to the stage door for a little bit, I may be becoming a bit too much of a DRS whore for my liking. Unless I see the show soon, which I haven't done for over a month. Ahh, I think I need help...
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
I'm in shock that there was only 11 pages to catch up on!...on a freakin' cam day. Whoa. Sounds like I missed some precious shots! Thanks for the heads up about the slide show, Barb. I probably would have been manically refreshing the page in anticipation. 
Good luck with all the bows. Tie 'em pretty. 
ok so fine this is just a non worshipping cow but hes damn cute
