I was wondering if there was any pictures or notices mentioning that Reese ever saw LB? Can anyone confirm that for me?

It wouldn't shock me if she did. Adam Sandler saw The Wedding signer when it was out of town and Macaulay Culkin was at Saved off Broadway.

I haven't herd anything about her going to see the show.
She probably watched it with her kids on MTV.

Not sure about Reese, but I interviewed Selma Blair awhile back and she said that she was not planning on seeing the show and wasn't that big of a fan of live theater.

I don't think so. If she had gone to see it, pictures would be all over.

Yeah, that is what I thought, the media and pictures would be on that...thanks!

I can't imagine why, nor do I understand why Blair is so against seeing it. Yes, it's always good to distance yourself from roles (Reese has never done "Walk The Line" events after winning the Oscar), but after creating such an iconic role, one might think that she might have seen it, just to see what they did with it. It's not every day that a role you made famous is transformed onto the stage... although, given the trend, it might as well be every day, soon enough. :)

Like I said in my earlier post. The film actors who were in the original movies had come to see the musical versions of movies that they were in.

I remember talking to Daniel Jenkins after a performance of Mary Poppins and he told me that he remembers Tom Hanks going to a performance of Big when that show was on Broadway.

I remember about 3 or 4 months after it opened on Broadway, LBB was in Parade and said Reese hadn't seen it yet. I'm sure that if she had gone after that it would be been online somewhere.

I remember reading somewhere that the creative team invited Reese to opening night but, she never showed.
Becky Gulsvig said that she would be honored for Reese to see the show. She might catch it when the show rolls into LA. That would be cool considering Becky looks more like Reese and she reminded me of her more than Laura did.

Probably not live, but I'm sure she sneaked a peak at the MTV showing. How could you not?
