Didn't see any threads on this!
Anyone see any B-Way sightings today at the march in DC? I saw Jonathan Groff, the Hair cast (obviously), Cynthia Nixon and reports than Cheno was there? Any confirmations?
Also- noticed BWW TV didn't have this... here's the video I took of the Hair cast soundchecking in the morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKdWrRFp0VE
Also- after the song was over- Gavin yelled out (only at the soundcheck)- "Now let's go levitate the Pentagon!" haha

Posted: 10/11/09 at 10:23pmI saw Wesley Taylor with Max von Essen. Actually, I saw Wesley a few times throughout the day. And Gavin Creel popped up out of NOWHERE right next to me, gave someone a hug, then disappeared again.

The morning of the march a friend and I saw Will Swenson (who has already been posted for Hair) and Audra McDonald boarding the train at Penn Station we took home.
My friend almost had a heart attack :) Too cool...

The Daily Show was there filming, so you friend probably did see John Oliver. I did not, but others were talking about it.
I thought I saw a man that looked like Jerry Mitchell, but unless he's put on about 50lbs, it was probably just a guy who looked like him, not him.

My friends and I definitely saw Jerry Mitchell.
Stephen Schwartz was on my bus.

Posted: 10/12/09 at 1:15pmI love that Michael Phelps was there?! Has he made any comments before about marriage equality? I had no idea he was even concerned with this issue. Did he speak or just attend?
#19re: National Equality March Sightings
Posted: 10/12/09 at 1:43pmdancing, I didn't mean to imnply Jerry Mitchell wasn't there, just the man that I saw didn't turn out to be him after closer inspection.

I love that there were so many celebrities there!
I saw Blake Daniel, most of the Hair people, Jonathan Groff.
My friend took a picture of John Oliver interviewing people for the show so yeah, he was definitely there.
