I got to go backstage at Curtains on Sunday and met most of the cast. It was so much fun and amazing however short the whole ordeal was. Just being able to look offstage out into the audience was AMAZING. And like someone said it really wasnt all that glamorous it was kinda dirty actually but it was still awsome.

Greg Jbara was nice enough to take people backstage at DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS. I've been backstage a few times and each experience was different and he always had new anecdotes to share. I was backstage the same time as Hugh Jackman after DIRTY once, that was pretty exciting.

I loved going backstage to Brooklyn the musical. Being able to see how the used trash to make the sets and costumes up close was really really neat. Even if you didnt like the show one would be able to apreciate that.

Standing among all of the cans onstage at the Walter Kerr was a great experience.

My first time backstage on Broadway was at The Goodbye Girl, a friend of mine worked there and I sort of knew Carol Woods. I got to say high to Bernadette Peters and Martin Short, and then my friend and I walked on stage. I must say, up close, that was the ugliest set I'd ever seen. I looked much darker and dirtier than from the audience.

Then a couple of friends of mine were in Kiss Me Kate, and I got to go to Marin's dressing room (my friend Linda was her understudy, and when she went on she got to use that dressing room).

Now that I work at the bars, I get to go through the stage door for most of the shows. It's really not that exciting after a while.

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

Actually, getting backstage at SPRING AWAKENING isn't that hard.
Just ask Christine (evening stage door lady) to take before the matinee when she's there. Or the matinee stage door guy, Amir, too.
