Stephanie March was my favorite part of SVU!
And...um. It's not *technically* Broadway, but I saw John Edwards(Kerry's running mate in '04) at a performance of A Christmas Carol in DC last year.

YAY!!! Did you guys hear she's going to be joining a new show called "Conviction" about ADAs? and it focuses more on their personal lives unlike the L&O series? I'M SO EXCITED. ALEX CABOT RETURNS!
Um back on topic...I have never seen anyone famous that I noticed. Oh one time I saw this guy on the street, and I recognized him...but now I forget who it was...so obviously not anyone I found memorable.

I saw Stephanie March at Chitty as well. She stood behind me in line at the box office and then sat a few rows in front of me.
Most recently I saw Mario Cantone up by Lincoln Center on Friday afternoon.

haha...yea, Spelling Bee was great. i counted the number of people there - there were 35, so I guess I did have a good chance of winning. Thanks to all who helped me clear that rumor up!
**Also, Vanessa Williams was on my plane coming back to NY from Tokyo, Japan in Nov. '04!
#32re: Broadway Celebrity Sightings
Posted: 12/11/05 at 10:05pmI saw Billy Joel and Kristin Johnson at Hairspray, David Hasselhoff at Spelling Bee, and Norbert Leo Butz, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sutton Foster randomly on the street (not together, of course).

>>>When I saw DRS last month Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry were in the audience. I saw Hugh when I was backstage after<<<
So that was what the staff who was manning the merchandise booth at the Imperial was talking about when I saw the show last week. It seems that when Hugh went backstage, everyone from the crew ( and cast) came over to talk to him...so much so that John Lithgow opened his dressing room and said out loud "Aren't you going to allow me to talk to my guest?"
Lol!

John Stevens (from American Idol 3...the lanky red-headed-jazzy kid?) at "Wicked" in October.
My mom saw Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins at the stage door at "Annie Get Your Gun" with Bernadette Peters.

I saw David Schwimmer and Judy Greer at Sweeney Todd about a month ago. I also saw Clay Aiken leaving Wicked a few months back. I saw Bruce Vilanch watching Hairspray from one of the boxes about a month ago...I talked to him after the show and he said that that was the first time he'd seen the show from the audience...and he laughed the whole time. I've seen a lot of Broadway actors walking down the street or getting food. And I saw David Ayers at Starbucks today.

Posted: 12/12/05 at 12:57amI sat beside Isaac Mizrahi at one of Whoopi's 25th anniversary shows, last year. Where as some celebrities come across as unappraochable, he initiated every bit of conversation. He's really a sweet and humorous gentleman.
