I'm sure there are more I'll think of tomorrow, but I'm soooooo tired right now I can't even think straight!

Seems like I'm always seeing somebody. Lynn Redgrave at "Long Day's Journey" and Eli Wallach at "Match" immediately come to mind. I also ran into Ann Reinking in the ladies room at "42nd Street".

I feel like I hit the jackpot one Sunday when I went to see "Waiting in the Wings". Daniel Davis, Tyne Daly, and Adam Arkin were all there. Daniel Davis had closed the night before in "Wrong Mountain" and I did walk up to him and congratulate him on his performance. I also ran into Tyne Daly during the intermission and shook her hand. I don't believe I've ever spoken to anyone else.

William Shatner at a Toxic Audio show. The performers must've been in their glory, Hehehe.

How great would it have been if Jeremy sang one of his songs as, "Why........don't........we.........doitintheroad?"

I saw Billy Joel at Movin' Out last summer... I guess he wanted check up on how it's doing or something.

My friend was sitting in front of Taye Diggs at Wicked once, before he played Fiyero.

Millie Dillmont!!!!!!!!!! You have a pic of Chris Seiber. Lucky you. DId you put him in Fan Photos? I enjoyed him in many shows. He is a doll. Nice guy too.

I would have loved to have sat next to Taye Diggs also.

Does anyone know if Liza has seen BFO??

Also, not really a Hollywood celebrity, but Rob Lambert (Tyne Daly revival's Tulsa) was at Gypsy w/ Bernadette when i was there.

These two were sort of givens, but I saw Baz Luhrmann at La Bohème in San Francsico, and his wife Catherine Martin at La Bohème in Los Angeles. Also saw Viggo Mortenson at the stage door at the latter. Not a Viggo fan, though.

I saw Brian Boitano at closing night of the first San Francisco company of Phantom. (Saw a couple of locla celebs there, too: Henry Tennenbaum and Jan Wahl.)

APOM - Nope, Liza hasn't seen the show yet, and probably won't ever. I believe she said somewhere that it would be too painful to watch dopplegangers of her dead mother and her dead ex-husband/best friend (understandably). But Hugh said in an interview that she did pull him aside once and tell him to do Peter Allen justice and display his generous side, or something like that.

Why do I feel like this thread has already been done and that I'm about to type the exact same answer I gave over a year ago? The most "celeb sightings" at one show was at La Boheme. I sat near a very loud and obnoxious Lisa Ling who wouldn't put down her cell phone for all of act 1, Mary Steenburgen a few rows in front of her, and Adrien Brody and Orfeh chatting up a storm during intermission. He won an Oscar about a month or so later. Perhaps I should have asked for his autograph, as he seemed more than gracious at the time.

Alfred Molina at "I Am My Own Wife" (which was excellent). It was a Friday 2 pm show, so I guess he had time to get to his evening "Fiddler" performance down the street. He was very nice.

Emily Skinner at Seussical. It was an odd Monday performance the first week of previews, so it was her night off from Full Monty (which I had seen her in two days before).

I'm fairly sure TWHM stands for The World's Happiest Musical, Hello, Dolly!. Why people can't just type Dolly or something is beyond me.

Sally Field was sitting a few rows behind me a few weeks ago when I saw Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in D.C. I saw her when I was leaving the bathroom, as she was at the same time... and ended up walking back to my seat behind her... at first I thought it wasn't her, but it definitely was. I think I was staring a bit... but I thought it would be very inappropriate to approach her.

I wish I could see her in Glass Menagerie.

I saw Mandy Moore, Anne Heche, Billy Crystal, the lead singer guy from The Counting Crows, and Benjamin Bratt at Wicked (on two different occasions, they weren't all at one show)

I saw Bernadette Peters at Avenue Q.

I saw Sutton Foster and Christian Borle at Taboo.

I saw Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft at Thou Shalt Not.



...aside from opening nights where I've seen people those are all I can think of right now.

Back to the question of "special treatment" - celebs call (or more likely have their assistants or publicists call) and get house seats. Full price. Unless it's opening night and they're invited, of course.
