I went backstage to the tour of Phantom of the Opera. My dads friend's uncle was playing Firmin (David Cryer) and he got us backstage in chicago at the caddiallc palace. I had a phantom mask with me (hoping to have it signed with no luck as gary mauer had left already) but I was asked to sing so I sang some of Music of the Night and All I Ask of You (Reprise) on stage for some of the cast members. It was absolutly incredible. I then remember talking to David seeing he played Sweeney and won awards so I did Epiphany scaring his nephew senseless. IT was increidble!

Errrrr yeah, a lot of times.

And for the person who said this:

Either you know someone or you can show a lot of intrest to the stage manager or the doorman outside.

I think that's kind of obnoxious, using people like that, don't you? Well no, apparently you don't because you said it.

In any event, go backstage if you know someone or someone invites you back. Don't try to "make friends" with someone at the theatre just so they'll bring you backstage. It's really not worth all that... especially the whole fact that you're completely using the person.

I'm stepping off my soapbox now, but that just incredibly rubs me the wrong way.

I see it happen a LOT and that's why I made that comment. Had you elaborated on your statement in the first place I wouldn't have said anything.

"Hooters" practically owns one of the theatres that you claim to have attacked, Ragg. I think you should shut up now, before you end up looking like more of an ass.

what is this a team of hooters? geez ladies have some class. good day. p.s. with all due respect, the shubert, although a classic, has some of the worst views. my friend from college is related to shubert the theater, so team hooters back off.

Look little TobyRagg, I may not have hooters but I do indeed have a rather large Italian appendage that I will beat you across the face with if you ever disrespect CJR again! Got it kid?

By the way, The Shubert is one of the most sought after houses on the Great White Way. Besides, you have no business backstage anyway unless you are involved in the production.
