I agree. I went to see him in White Rabbit Red Rabbit, and the whole "stage-door" scene was a mess. In general, I think Off-Broadway theatres need to start getting with the times more when it comes to celebrities. Broadway learned years ago that they needed to put up barricades and have security for big celebrities, but I've yet to see a single Off-Broadway show do the same, despite the fact the crowds that wait for the big stars (though I admit the crowds are never as large as on Broadway). 

But I suppose this is a conversation for a different thread.

I was already super stoked for a Pacific Overtures production at all -- it's only in the last year that I've really learned to appreciate how brilliant it is and fallen in love with it, and I've never seen it staged -- and now I'm just ridiculously excited.
