Not saying that she's a "star," but she did lead as Belle in Beauty & The Beast on Broadway before Annelise van der Pol, DEBORAH LEW...
I happened to be in town seeing no other than LES MISERABLES on the final [public] performance of Beauty and the Beast on Saturday night (the 28th), and I saw SPamalot, so we walked to a pizza place right next to the theatre and I walked outside to see what the fuss was about (Steve Blanchard had just stepped out) and Deborah Lew was on the phone talking to someone and had a playbill in her hand, and walked out of the stage door.
Stephanie J. Block and hubby Sebastian Arcelus were at the Lincoln Square 13 movie theater on the Upper West Side last night at around 7pm. They weren't going to see the movie I saw, but as I was giving my ticket to the ticket lady, I glanced behind me and Whoaaaaa there they were right behind me in line! It was a mind trip! A few minutes later, I was washing my hands next to SJB in the bathroom. Decided to play it cool though and just smile at her. They looked super cute and relaxed--probably very happy to have a non-Wicked date night.
I see Orfeh and Andy alot. It seems they walk everywhere, so that helps. I've also seen Orfeh getting her nails done across the street from New World Stages more than once too.
I saw Jai Rodriguez walking by the Avenue Q theater.

I seem to always see Matt Caplan a few weeks ago I was walking out of Duane Reed and we basically walked into each other outside the store.
I also park my car in the same garage as Antonique Smith when I am in the city. I would see her all the time she is very nice, we used to talk while we were waiting or our cars.

Between Christmas and New Years, I stopped in Chipotle to use the restroom and Sutton Foster was there. 5 mins later, Beth Leavel walked in and the two of them hugged!
I also so Edward Hibbert walking towards the Al Hirschfeld between shows.
On my recent trip to NYC, while waiting to see Spamalot 3 days before Clay, I saw Sarah Jessica Parker jump out of a car to greet none other than Matthew Broderick. I think they were going to see August: Osage County.
Between auditions, John Tartaglia sat in the stool next to me at Starbucks. A few minutes later, at the same Starbucks, I opened the door for an exiting Mark Jacoby. Who is shorter than I thought. He looks so tall onstage.
While on the way to lunch before a show, a friend and I saw Cheyenne Jackson was on his way to the theatre.
I could probably be sitting next to someone right now and wouldn't even know that they were on Broadway. LoL. I'm really clueless when it comes to star-sightings. Unless it's like Adam Pascal or Idina Menzel. Actually I ran into(literally) Jenny Galloway when she was leaving the theatre and had no clue it was her. She's so tiny. Haha
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!
I stood behind that guy from Nsync at Whole Food's when he was in RENT. He seemed nice enough.. but I don't think he believed in deoderant, but instead lots of cologne. But he seemed nice, so thats all that matters.
I saw Curtis Holbrook and Patti Murin at Starbucks
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." Sherie Rene Scott
I was walking through Shubert Alley and I saw Norm Lewis talking to some of the guys who work at Spamalot. We made eye contact for a split second and I nearly fainted.
