The Clintons (Bill, Hillary and Chelsea) at "All The Way" last year. Having the secret service presence caused an extra stir compared to most celebrities, and them being at a presidential themed play felt like a special moment.

I saw Sondheim when I saw The Lion. He gave it a standing ovation - seemed to love it.

I also saw the Clintons Saturday night at AAIP, and I spoke to Hillary at intermission and asked for a photo. She was lovely.

"Most recently, at Hand to God, I saw Sutton Foster. At The Elephant Man, Steven Spielberg was sitting two rows ahead of me and I saw Katie Holmes in the lobby during intermission. In January at On The Town, I was sitting across the aisle from Jerry Stiller (they also called him out for the start of act 2).
A few years ago I was standing behind Didi Conn in the bathroom line at the Al Hirschfeld (I forget which show, though). I also Lance Bass at Priscilla. "
I was at that same performance of The Elephant Man but I missed out. I saw Katie Holmes there, but not Steven Spielberg!!!! He is one of my all-time favorite directories and now I'm disappointed I missed him but what are you gonna do I guess.

I saw Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, and Woody Harrelson all at the same performance of Cabaret during Emma Stone's first week. Edward and Woody were sitting together; Ralph seemed to be there separately.
Just before the last Cabaret revival closed, when Adam Pascal was the Emcee, I sat next to John Stamos.
And on Valentine's Day, I sat in front of Billy Eichner at Hedwig. Not super famous (yet), but I adore him.

Wow, the chance to chat with Hillary Clinton, at this time in history and rather than say something you asked for a picture, how extremely lame.

I've seen a good number, but perhaps the most fun was at Fun Home a few weeks ago. Idina Menzel, Andrew Rannells, and (right in front of him) Angela Lansbury were all in the house. I was sitting practically right across the theater from the Dame and kept checking her reactions. She didn't seem to enjoy it...
My good friend has run into Hugh Jackman on three separate occasions.

I've only actually seen celebs at one performance but when I saw Hedwig I saw both Anne Hathaway and Dakota Fanning.

I sat next to Marin Mazzie once. I'm pretty OK with not spotting celebrities as I'd probably just be awkward/not approach them anyway. If there's someone I'd really want to meet I'd prefer it to be in a stage door scenario where I know they're fine with being approached. The one exception is probably Sondheim. OK, also Lea Salonga.

Sat directly across the aisle from Audra McDonald at Hedwig with Michael C. Hall in December! She was by herself, just marveling at the show!

I met Neil Patrick Harris at Finian's Rainbow. He was incredibly rude to my mother and I, and I won't ever forget that.
