The list of everyone is too long to list, but some of my favorites are:
Julia Murney (nicest person EVER! Talked to her for like 10 minutes)
Norbert Leo Butz (though I didn't really get to talk to him- he was rushing to something)
Sherie Rene Scott (very sweet, as I caught her before a matinee and didn't expect her to stop for very long)
Sutton Foster
Chris Gunn (don't know if anyone knows him, but he was understudy for Laurie in Little Women and was so cool and hilarious!)
The cast of See What I Wanna See was amazing! (minus Idina, she didn't come out)

Man, I haven't met anybody! I actually got pretty close to meeting Adam Pascal though. He was doing a concert at my brother's college and my brother told him about how big of a fan I was and I got a signed CD from him. So even though I haven't met him, my brother did, which means I was pretty close.
