moderators My first and only stage door experience was for the little shop tour. My parents surprised me (I thought we were just going out for dinner), and I had no ideawho was in the current cast of it, so I nearly died when I read my playbill.
So then at the stagedoor I waited for like 20 min for Anthony to come out, in the meantime chatting with and getting autographs from the rest of the cast. So I *thought* I had gotten the hang of the whole stage door thing, until he finally came out. I don't think I acted as star struck as I felt, but was able to ask him for an autograph and thank him for his performance with relative ease. I wanted to ask him about the Rent movie, but couldn't bring myself to. Luckily there was another group of RentHeads there as well--they sort of got that conversation started and then it was a lot more laid back.
I think I'll be okay for Wicked and Rent (Idina will be gone... that will make it easier)
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...
