Funniest Stage Door Moment? — Page 2

My funniest stage door moment had very little do with actually being funny, but afterwards... we had seen the Wicked tour in DC and Derrick Williams turned to smile for a picture my sister was taking while he was trying to sign someone elses stuff, and it turned out to be this TERRIBLY scary picture of him.... he definitely is anything but ugly and this picture makes me want to run and hide, it is one of those scary horror movie clown grins! I am planning on getting it signed the next time I stage door at the Gershwin :]

mine was at Wicked hah. i was standing by the stage door between the matinee and the night show because i had nothing better to do. i didnt realized who i was talking to but i was like "I HAVE TO PEE" and i looked and im like. ohcrap. and it was Bill Youmans. He started cracking up and i was REALLY embarassed

When I was at Wicked Ben Vereen came out but no one recognized him, so he went back inside. Came out again and he got a small applause. He said, "you can do better than that, let's try again." He went back inside and waited about a minute before coming back out. When he did, the crowd went WILD and he thanked us. Then when Megan Hilty came out the crowd went wild again. Ben yelled over everyone's cheers "Now that's the way it's done."

Then when I was at Spamalot the flash on my digital camera decided not to work just as I was posing for a picture with Christopher Seiber. When it did not go off, he asked to see the picture. It was very blurry so he said we'd take another one. That one was blurry as well so he took a third with me. When the flash finally worked, he just rejoiced and threw his hands into the air in triumph.

This topic is rad. When it comes to stage door stories I know about them.

Check this out. A few months ago I was st Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. For those of you who didn't see this, you missed out. It was maybe one of the greatest, most awesome, friggin' radical shows to come to the BROAD way in the past decade. (sondheim could learn a thing or two from this show with such amazing soul) For those of you who didn't see it, they had a car that flew. Apparently they did it using holograms (can somebody say tony for set design?)

So, I go the stage door because I really want to see Raoul. First,. i had to find it which took me like ten minutes. i was all like, has anyone seen the stage door for the hilton theater? of course, nobody knew because they weren't theatre buffs. anyways. i finally found it. and anyways. all the cast comes out. and they were all like, "glad you enjoyed the show" and what not. and i was like "really awesome show" i even thought about asking erin dilly out but then i remembered i think i heard she was married. finally, my boy, raoul came out. he came up to me and was like, i'll sign your playbill. and i was like "i don't have a pen." so he goes back into the stage door and comes back out with a pen (i guess he got it from the doorman) and he's like "the pen is mightier than the sword," i nearly lost it.

i have a bunch more of these. i'll post some more soon.

peace., love and harmony.

I have no idea if Traci went the same day I did, but Ben did that too. Always a show man!

Well, I made gifts for the whole cast of Wicked, so the one day I bring all my gifts, Michelle Fedhead didn't come out. So Megan says she'll give it to her so I could see her the next day, when I stage doored.

Well I saw Michelle the next day so I decided to quickly wish her a good show before she went on, so as she was walking towards she door I was like "Hey Michelle, Have a good show."

And she just kinda gave me a look and was like "..Hi.." and walked in the stage door.



..I thought it was kind of funny.. no?

Patti is fabulous.

At the Into the Woods (revival) stage door, I encountered possibly the most tactless individual on the planet. Gregg Edelman walks out and she yells "Were you the cow?" When he said, "No, I was the prince," she waved her hand dismissively and went "Oh." Then Vanessa Williams comes out and the woman goes "Oh my GAWD, you look so much BIGGER onstage!"

I have two one was when I saw B&TB with my 5 year old neighbor on her birthday, we went to the stage door and found out it was Peter Flynns (Lumiere) birthday too so then Brooke Tansley came out and had a long conversation with me Peter and the 5 year old then the two of them sang her happy birthday.
And the first time I saw Little Shop I saw it with my friend, the second time I saw it with my friends twin sister, so the first time Douglas Sills gave my friend a hug so the second time her twin was like you gave my sister a hug will you give me one too he looks at her and is like you sure I wasn't under the influence last time I don't usually give hugs...guess you had to be there

this is mine...

well, I don't really know if it's very funny, but after seeing Wicked, me and my friend were waiting outside the stage door, and Megan comes out with these adorable white Chanel sunglasses with rhinestones on the sides.

So I squeal "Oh My God!!! Those glasses are the coolest things ever!"
And she squealed back to me "Oh, I know! I love sparkly things!"

So we spent a few minutes talking about Chanel sunglasses and sparkly things.

Love Megan.
