IMO, Sara Ramirez is NOT a diva

Alright, I love Sara and I have always hated reading posts about how she's very much like a diva, but I never met the woman, so I could never comment on what I though. Until yesterday.

I was with broadway betty, and we were waiting for some of my friends to get out of DRS so we thought we would stage door Spamalot and Pillowman while we were waiting. We kinda figured Sara wouldn't come out because it was in between shows, but she did!! She came over to us and I asked to get my picture taken with her and she gladly let me take one, and she said that me and betty were "so cute" (probably because we were babbling like idiots because we love her so much LOL). She signed for everyone and took pictures and was out there for a while, and then she went back in.

I found this behavior a lot different from everything I read about her. I'm just pissed my camera spazzed out on me and I lost all my pics...

As well he should have. I like Nichols a lot more for that, because he actually cares about his show enough to want his cast to show up on a regular basis.

I've yet to meet her, but I wrote to her and got mail back. My friend and I made her green Lady of the Lake costume, and I sent pictures, which one of my friend's said she loved. I've never heard one bad stage door story about her.

I just met Sara after the show this past Thursday evening. She was an absolutely sweetheart at the stage door. When she came out and walked to the one side of the barricades, the people beside me got pissed and starting chanting her name. You see they thought she wasn't coming over to our side and I politely told them that she was indeed making her way over to us. Oh, and of course they weren't pronouncing her name correctly. When she finally got to me, this was our conversation:

Me: Awesome, awesome job SA-DA. (glares at chanting crowd)
Sara: (laughing) Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you know my name.
Me: Yeah. Oh, and I wasn't chanting your name. I wouldn't do that because that's just scary.
Sara: (laughing) Yeah, tell me about it.

Needless to say, she was very polite and chatted with everyone a bit. And she took pictures with anyone who asked. Not exactly what I'd call a diva-bitch.

So the R is pronounced like a D? I never knew that. Interesting.

Thanks for that tidbit.

I forgot to mention that, litte_sally! Sara is very pretty in person.

"Can you imagine everyone always pronouncing your name wrong?"
Yes, it gets annoying. You live with it though.

I don't think she's a diva. Met he once during Capeman and she was a very nice lady. The biggest diva i've ever met was Axl Rose. He was a total *****.

Hi POP!!! How's New York treating you?

wait, her name isn't pronounced "SARA"?? I thought thats what they said at the Tony awards, or am I losing it??

he pronounced it correctly.

Actually he pronounced it both correctly and incorrectly. When he read out the nominees from the teleprompter, it was spelled phonetically on there. When he announced her as the winner, he called her Sarah.

I walked by the Shubert this evening on my way to see The Producers and noticed that Miss Ramirez was out. Yikes.
