Posted: 9/12/04 at 8:09pmI went to see Dame Edna's show a few years ago. For those who are not familiar with the show, a good portion of it is Dame Edna interacting with some audience members. She picks certain people and relentlessly harrasses them for the entire show. Well, Judy Collins was one of the lucky or unlucky ones in the audience that night depending on how you look at it. She was a VERY good sport about it too!

I saw Neil Patrick Harris at WICKED and it was funny because he came out of the stage door and looked displeased because no one wanted his autograph!! Someone wanted to hear that story again.
I also saw the former fist people at HAIRSPRAY the other week.
Fred Ebb is on the Ave Q celebrity list. Was he at today's show? Oh, wait . . .nevermind. lol

Posted: 9/12/04 at 11:03pmWhen I went to Kristin's last show in WICKED I saw Jai Rodriguez and Joey McIntire. But he was probably only there b/c he was replacing Norbert. I also heard that Ashley Judd was supposed to be there but didn't know it was a matinee and showed up late.

Luckiest celebrity at a show? Barbara Walters, who got a double lap dance from Matt Damon and Hugh Jackman.
Not. Fair.

Posted: 9/13/04 at 12:03amI sat next to Donald Trump at Les Miz and saw Al Roker up in one of the royal boxes. Many at Standing Ovations. Melanie Griffith at Nine. Matthew Broderick, Michael Cerveris, and half the cast of Assassins at The Frogs. Michael Cerveris at Dracula. Hugh Jackman and Isabel Keating at Stephanie Block's concert. Max Von Essen, Billy Porter, Christine Andreas, Stephanie Block, Betty Comden, Michael Feinstein, and others at Cast Party. I also saw Cheno coming out of Carmine's once which makes me wonder how someone that tiny can eat that much food.

Not a broadway show, but when I saw "Most Happy Fella" in LA about three years ago I was fortunate enough to see John Ritter in the audience. In fact, he was sitting a couple of seats away from us.
