John Tartaglia, Jennifer Barnhart, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Jordan Gelber and Rick Lyon - photos/autographs/pretty long conversations
Cheyenne Jackson - autograph/talked for a little bit. I was pretty shy.
Susan Egan - autograph/quick compliments
Raul Esparza - photo/autograph/conversation
Patrick Wilson - photo/autograph/he tried to talk to me, but I was incapable of responding.

too tired to write all ofthem out but here are some:

lindsay duncan - short conversation (about shoes)

cast of ave q briefly but longer with Stephanie D'Abruzzo and Jennifer Barnhart.

sutton foster - short conversation (when i first met her) and have spoken with her longer since then.

sherie rene scott - short conversation (at a rehearsal) then longer when i saw her again a few months later

kate burton - pretty long conversation, she noticed i was reading "the royal family" and she liked it as well so we talked about different plays and such.

christine ebersole - pretty long conversation at Feinsteins when she did her show a few months ago. i didn't want to bother her so i asked just wrote a short note saying how i liked the show (i had seen it once before) and asked the manager to give it to her as we walked in. at the end of the show the manager said that he had given her the note and did i have a moment to meet her? so...that was great.

bernadette peters - short convo at the stage door of gypsy

rebecca luker - at a bc/efa thing, short but good conversation

I saw Adam Pascal walk by me and would have ran after him except I was waiting for Hugh Jackman to get to the Imperial so I didn't. (Don't get me started.) I did meet Hugh though, and give him a few presents inspired by his SNL performance that related to me asking him to take me down to "brown town." (Long story.)

I met Will Chase, Deborah Cox, Lisa Brescia and Mickey Dolenz after Aida.

I also met Idina and Kristin (which was awesome, but would have been cooler if some creepy oldish balding guy wasn't babbling to Kristin the entire time, then yell and chase after her town car, then come back and do the same to Idina.).

I guess my list is kind of scarce, but in my defense, I live on the other end of the continent! (My list of movie stars I've met is more impressive. )

Oh yeah, I met and interviewed the touring casts of:
- Miss Saigon (Jon Jon Briones, Jennifer Hubilla and Alan Gillespie)
- Jesus Christ Superstar (Eric Kunze and a friend of mine, Carl Anderson)

I just recently started stage door-ing, so I've only met Norbert Leo Butz and Idina Menzel (shy, but she had her silver pen, and it was working). L0(

Do I bow? I feel like I should bow.

Well not just because you met all these people, but the fact that you typed all of them out. My fingers hurt just thinking about it.

Cynthia Nixon? Now that is awesome. And Carol Burnett? Awesomeness. I think I would be really jealous if you met Sarah Jessica Parker. You haven't, have you?

No I haven't met SJP
