Cool! Where did you see her?

I got to meet David Hasselhoff when I saw "Spelling Bee" last summer. I even got his phone number because he happens to be good friends with my voice teacher!

It was kind of a surreal experience.

Joan Rivers sat behind me and my family when I saw "1776". She was directly behind my brother and kept whispering quips to him like, "I wonder how it's going to end?"

They are all from a while ago but I've seen Scott Wolf and Soleil Moon Frye at Side Man, James Earl Jones at some play that I have blocked out of my mind becuase it was soo bad, David Canary of All my Children at Ragtime, Joey McIntyre at Saturday Night Fever,Anthony Rapp at Footloose, Danny Pintaro at Ice Man Cometh,.. those are the ones that I can remember off hand.. I know there have been a few others some who I knew by face but not by name.

Oooh, it's always fun to see famous people at B'way shows...John Malkovich, David Schwimmer (at Three Days of Rain), Gloria Steinem (still looking great). My favorites were having Liam Neeson sitting a few seats away from me while watching Alan Bates and Frank Langella act their hearts out in Fortune's Fool (I think they were all nominated for Tonys that year); checking out the devastatingly handsome Clive Owens at Nathan Lane's play Dedication, and a really fun one: my daughter and I attended the very first performance of Rabbit Hole and I joked that all the other Sex and the City women would show up to cheer on Cynthia Nixon. Well, okay it turned out to be just Kristin Davis, but she looked great! The absolute best ever, though, was last year at a not-very-publicized live performance of two radio plays by Charlie Kaufman and the Coen Brothers called "Theater of the New Ear" at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn which was amazing but not a lot of people seemed to know about it. The scene in the lobby was like a red carpet: we talked to Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Peter Dinklage, Hope Davis, Charlie Kaufman, the Coens, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, and John Slattery--all of whom were part of it--and Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Nicole Kidman, who were in the audience. Kidman was so dazzling up close that my daughter, who also collected everyone's autograph, could barely get out a word, but she was genuinely kind and friendly to us, as were the rest of them. I got to be a cool mom for a while after taking her to that one!

I saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman last Sunday at the second to last performance of Three Days of Rain. I saw Constatine from American Idol at Wicked at the Pantages in LA, but I'm not sure I'd consider him famous.

The rumor going around when I saw Wicked in October of 2004 was that Idina's parents were seated right in front of me. It seemed credible, seeing as Taye Diggs was also right in front of me as well. And if it helps, I was seated in Jennifer Thompson's four personal house seats, so I assume that they would either be in front or, in this case, behind Idina's. Okay, I'm just going to stop now -- I sound like a damn BABBLER.
