National Equality March Sightings

Posted: 10/11/09 at 8:17pm

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

Kristen Chenoweth
Kevin Cahoon
Cynthia Nixon
Michael Phelps
Lady Gaga
Dustin Lance Black
Gavin Creel & the cast of HAIR
Jonathan Groff

Those were the 'entertainment' celebrities I know were there that I'm aware of.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

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.

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.

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?

Haviland Stillwell was 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.
