The entire main bway cast of RENT last August, sans Merle Dandridge. (Karmine Alers, Kelly Karbacz, et al.)
Entire cast of RENT the Movie...three times. (Today Show, Bryant Park, and Virgin Megastore [actually sans Idina at Virgin, god if she just stuck around longer...])
Anthony Rapp yet again at some thing going on at was it B&N or Virgin Mega in Union Square.
Various Wicked cast members...on numerous occasions. Phillip Spaethe every single f-ing time! <3
Mary Testa!
And I was like sitting across Michael John LaChiusa during previews of SWIWS, and I just didn't have the nerve to stop him.
The friend that I was with somehow convinced me it wasn't him for the time being.
Sarah Jessica Parker, except I was really young, and had no concept of who she was...and didn't watch SatC yet...
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, basically anytime that I didn't see a show with my parents, and felt like stage dooring.

I forgot that I've also met Jim Leonard Jr. Probably because he was so cold.
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

I forgot- Paige Davis. That's one of my highlights as well.
"This table, he is over one hundred years old. If I could, I would take an old gramophone needle and run it along the surface of the wood. To hear the music of the voices. All that was said." - Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife

wow! My goodness ... the only person I've met is Maria Eberline (Elphaba understudy on tour). She was the sweetest person ever! My dad went to school with Mary Stout (dresser drawers in Beauty and the Beast for a LONG time) and he worked with Michael Cerveris's dad for a theatre! He also talked to Leo Burmester (Original BWay cast of Les Miserables) on the phone a few weeks ago.

I met Mabel Modrono today... she was Judy in Movin' Out (I don't know how long she was in it, but I saw her in it in April 2004) and she was a principal with Miami City Ballet and Pittsburgh Ballet, and now she is dancing in Phantom here in Vegas. I work at a dance store here and I fit her in new pointe shoes today, and I was talking to her and she was telling me all this and I was like, dying inside. It was awesome.

Hmmmm... Let's see...
*Matt Morrison
*Marisa Jaret Winoker
*Bruce Vilanch
the Lil Inez from the Hairspray tour (such a cutie. Talked with her and her mom for 30 minutes or so)
*Jenna Leigh Green
*Katie Adams
*Stephanie J. Block (jealous, because my friends were actually backstage with her. They're apparently family friends.)
*Norbert Leo Butz
*Sherie Rene Scott (love her husband!)
*Derrick Williams
*David Garrison
*Georgia Engel
*Sutton Foster (eek! Such a sweetheart)
*Edward Hibbert
*Troy Britton Johnson
*Garth and Jason Kravits (didn't get autographs or anything because they were carrying a rather giant cardboard box)
*Jason Robert Brown
*Kristin Chenoweth
*Brian Stokes Mitchell
*Nanette Fabray (of MGM's The Bandwagon)
*Susan Hoffman (tours of Fiddler and Molly Brown. Did a show with her. Lovely woman)
*Richard G Rodgers (was in Fame with Gavin Creel. Also did a show with him. Such a hoot)
*Alli Mauzey (Hairspray B'way and Tour. One of the nicest woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her entire family is a joy).
*Mara Davi (of the ACL revival. Darling girl)
I think that's it. Pretty good for a California girl who has never been to NYC!
