Celebrity-studded audiences at the theater this weekend

Up to celebrate WorldPride, but squeezed in a few shows.

Octet, Saturday matinee -- Lin-Manuel Miranda across the aisle.

Working, Saturday night -- Paul Reiser (there to cheer on his TV wife?) and Tony Danza together, sitting next to me.

All My Sons, final performance Sunday matinee -- not only Michael Stuhlbarg a couple of rows ahead (I'm pretty sure, although he had beard and long hair) but also Shirley "friggin'" Maclaine in front of me (there to cheer on her sister-in-law?)

And how about that for a weird FOSSE/VERNON presence at all three?

Best bargain of the weekend, row H center orch for AMS for $89 from TKTS. And I'm so glad I caught this masterful revival. Letts, Walker, and Bening were extraordinary. Walker's "Be Better!" outcry is still giving me goosebumps.

Great sightings.  Would have loved to see Shirley MacLaine.
