I went to the theater and captured the opening night arrivals. A lot of the original cast showed up. I have no idea who they are. If you have a moment could you go to my blog and just tell me who I shot. Thanks.

Rosie and Joan Rivers arrived as the curtain was going up, and were quickly ushered in. Then Fran Dresher strolled in behind them about 5 minutes later. Hillary Clinton was supposed to come, and the paparazzi waited and waited. She was a no show.

The top pick of guys is Wayne Cilento, Sammy Williams and Thommie Walsh.

Thommie and Donna McKechnie below that.

Then, Justin Ross (Greg in the movie)... and... I don't know, and I don't know...

Then, you got Pricilla Lopez with... I don't know...

I thought that was Carole Bishop with Priscilla Lopez. Maybe I have to look again.

It's Kelly (Carole) Bishop with Priscilla Lopez. Her face is so much more recognizable now that she's on Gilmore Girls.

Yes that is Kelly Bishop with Lopez, and one of the women in that middle picture looks like Rene Baughman (original Kristine).

I've posted the departures now, mostly the cast. I went back so I could get Liza to sign my "Liza With A Z" DVD; which she did. She was very gracious. I also talked to Rosie and told her I saw her last night in the front row at Barbara's concert in Philly. Plus had a few words with Marvin Hamilisch, who gave me a great shot.

That's not Kay Cole (she wasn't there); it is Mitzi Hamilton next to Justin Ross.

I really REALLY want to know what the members of the original cast thought.

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 10/6/06 at 3:39pm

Rosie somehow gets around the illegal aspect. She has video cameras everywhere.

Were Charlotte's father (Jacque D'Ambroise) and brother (Christopher D'Ambroise) there for opening night? They are definitely a legendary family.

Was Rosie O'Donnel at the opening night performance. She's been suspiciously silent about the show on The View and on her blog.

I knew this was going to be a very important opening night but I had no idea such huge stars as Fran Drescher and Joan "Jocelyn Wilderstein" Rivers would be in attendance. Wow, wow, wow!

People may not realize this, but back during the original run of ACL, the role of Wayne Cilento was actually played by a male!
