National Equality March Sightings

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

I 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...

Great video. Now let Congress stop being so ass backwards and give real equality to all!

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.

I 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?

[Pianolin717]

Haviland Stillwell was there.

dancing, 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.

[PalJoey]

Posted: 10/12/09 at 1:50pm

Yes, Jerry Mitchell was there. And yes, Marc Kudisch was too.



And don't you love this picture of Audra and Will with the signs behind them?

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.
