Favorite stage door experiences

My two favorite experiences are both from Sweeney Todd: first of all, let me just stress like many others have, that the entire cast was SO NICE... kind of. When we went, my friend Sam asked to get a picture with Patti who begrudgingly agreed. But when the flash went off, Patti was outraged and told her "That camera was too F****** close!" and stormed off. Normally, we would have been upset, but instead, we were kind of thrilled because now we had our own Broadway diva story to tell. My second fave experience, also at Sweeney, was with Benjamin Eakeley, who understudied for Anthony. He absolutely blew me away & when I told him so at the stage door, he stayed with Sam & I and talked to us for like 15 minutes! I had auditioned for college that day and he was asking me all sorts of questions about it, how i thought I did, etc. Ever since, I've been head over heels in love!!!!

There's already a thread on this...

And for those who know about this:

"I'm just a stand-by, nobody loves me."

are you telling the truth Junior? I know she says F**K a lot! on her site she substitutes it with &*&&E^@*# and stuff like that! I read that after she sang a song at her concert on the 22nd about a man leaving her or something like that (Don`t got the CD yet) she said "F*CKer" I know it was a joke but u know!

When she said that did she yell it or pull you aside and tell you?

She didn't exactly yell it, but she didn't pull us aside to tell us either. She just kind of made an observation then stormed off. Maybe she was just having a bad day?

This weekend. At Pajama Game. This guy was basically harassing harry conick jr. He shook his hand but really wouldnt let go. Then he was like .... give me $100 ... harry just ignored it. The guy was like come on give me $100 you have the money.

Harry responded .... "this is the roundabout ... if i was at the lion king sure "


-- a) it was funny ... b) was cool how professional he was while this guy was being an ass.
