Posted: 10/10/09 at 6:50pmMy best is, I spotted Jason Alexander outside the Billy Elliot theatre as I was going it, back in July. He was talking to what I presumed to be his wife and a son, (the kid was probably early teens, hanging on his dad the way only one's kid could, but when the lady and kid entered the theatre, I didn't see him.

I hung out with Bernadette Peters at the Roundabout revival of FOLLIES during intermission. She looks FABULOUS in person, better even than on film/tv if that is possible. It is one of only a handful of times I have been truly starstruck. She is so sweet she makes sugar seem like salt. No joke!

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Like a previous poster, I'm lousy at spotting celebs in the audience. But there were a few...
John Waters at a Cry-Baby preview
Hunter Bell at The Little Mermaid (was Heidi's first Saturday night performance as Ursula - at the stage door, Hunter actually remembered me, calling me by name, and we had a very nice conversation while waiting for Heidi. I was floating the rest of the weekend...)
"Are you calling me a procrastibator?" Hunter, [title of show]
"Guess who's gonna get blamed for the war in Europe?" Eugene, Brighton Beach Memoirs

Posted: 10/12/09 at 5:04pmTracie Thoms going in the stage door at Shrek back in June. I didn't say anything to her because I feel like it would have been rude of me.

Posted: 10/12/09 at 5:40pmOne of my favorite meetings was Stephen Schwartz at "Slava's Snow Show". He was incredibly nice, gracious, and humble. I really have nothing but nice things to say about the man. He was very chatty, introduced me to the people he was with, and left a really great impression on me. I'll always remember that meeting. He is a great guy.
