Posted: 3/7/06 at 4:04pmI also recently went on a backstage tour with Greg. I had emailed him to thank him for saying hi to me and my kids on his webcam and mentioned that I was taking one of my sons to see the show again as part of his birthday present. The next morning I got an email from him inviting us backstage. My husband asked if he could meet us and Greg invited my whole family (I have 5 kids). In the end my husband and oldest son saw the show with us and the 4 of us met Greg. He was warm and gracious and spent some time showing us around and explaining everything to us. He also spent time just talking to us like we were old friends and was sweet enough to extend another invitation for when I can bringmy younger kids. He is a true gentleman.

I have met DOZENS of Broadway actors and stars and all have been very nice to me....including people who have been referred to as "evil" or "bitchy" by some on this board.
Unlike some people, I don't STALK them or try to keep them in conversation for longer than a minute. I don't ask them to autograph every cast album they've ever been on or try to hug them. We should all learn to be respectful of their time and their privacy.
After a grueling 2 1/2 hours on the stage, some are too tired to want to spend another hour chatting with fans or maybe they just want to go home and spend quality time with a loved one.

dirty rotten guy, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had an ugly ER experience the last few days! =(
Anyway... yeah, I had just met Greg several times and he had said, "email me if you want to come back sometime." So I did. His email is on his site - it links to his personal account. And MAN does he respond quickly! If you are going to see the show and you are interested (which, I guess you are), email him and see what happens. He's a great guy =)

Since I don't think I ever actually responded to this post, I think my vote for the nicest goes to Adam Pascal. Honestly, I've met a lot of people -- and he has always been the kindest, nicest, friendliest person. I'm not even the biggest fan of his, I just think he's amazingly nice to his fans, and appreciates everything.
Kevin Cahoon is always beyond nice to everyone as well.

yay for Kevin "You wanna be on my mailing list?!??!?!" Cahoon. 
And Mano is indeed super-nice. To go back a day.

Kevin "YOU WANNA BE ON MY MAILING LIST, SH*T I DON'T HAVE A PEN, GIVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO HEATHER SHE'LL DO IT FOR ME RIGHT HEATHER?" Cahoon.
Indeed.
HAHA

You know, I gave him my e-mail address twice and I never get updates from him. 
#187re: Nicest Broadway Stars?
Posted: 3/8/06 at 5:34pm
I've only been sent a few updates. One was about Ars Nova back in November, and then before that I got a few about the CD. I wanna know when the March 5th show was postponed to!
Eh, I'd just sign up for the updates on his site just to make sure you're in there. He's usually good about that stuff though.

Posted: 3/8/06 at 5:35pmWell, I did write it on like... understudy slips, so those can easily get lost. :)
#189re: Nicest Broadway Stars?
Posted: 3/8/06 at 5:37pmUnderstudy slips are probably more frequently used for email/phone number paper than anything else. Oops?

#191re: Nicest Broadway Stars?
Posted: 3/12/06 at 1:46pmBardolator - That is a great story about her coming to your school...and bring other from the cast with her as well! As nice as I have known her to be (I have a few stories of my own that I'd rather keep to myself) I'm still blown away by her kindness.
#192re: Nicest Broadway Stars?
Posted: 3/12/06 at 2:00pmManoel is incredibly sweet.... and he's the only Broadway performer I've ever met, so far.
#193re: Nicest Broadway Stars?
Posted: 3/12/06 at 4:24pm
hee. Yay for Manoel. 
And yeah, he just keeps piling up brownie points, so far as I'm concerned.

Hurray for the vote for Diana DiMarzio!
She actually has edged out Jbara for my vote for nicest now. I absolutely adore her. She told me to come back with my Sweeney CD next time and she will get everyone to sign it since I waited for the signing but just missed getting in. Also Donna is very very nice, infact the whole cast is.
Greg is still great though!
Broadway_Show_Fan, yes I have seen the show twice and have emailed Greg a couple times for shoutouts on GregCam. Next time I will deff. email him. Thanks!

I've met so many nice people over the years, but some folks that particularly stick out in my mind are Brent Carver, Ron Bohmer, Alice Ripley, Emily Skinner, Lauren Kennedy, Kim Huber, Natalie Toro, and William Solo.
Only one person who has seemed scary/rude on several occasions is Amy Spanger. And that could be totally off, but I've seen her roll her eyes at fans a lot at stage doors, so I've never actually approached her.

Posted: 3/12/06 at 7:55pmIt's nice to see some people mentioning Diana Dimarzio; she's absolutely adorable. Of course I'll agree Manoel is incredibly sweet! That entire cast always amazes me at how nice they are no matter what conditions they're in (illness, weather, etc).

Posted: 3/12/06 at 8:13pmI haven't really had the honor of meeting that many people at this point, but everyone I have met was extremely friendly and utterly gracious. One person that sticks out in particular in my mind is Michael Crawford, whom I have met on numerous occasion, who always remembers my family and is always so friendly. Two others are Beth Leavel and Tom Wopat when they were in 42nd Street- it was Father's Day and my little sister was very upset (it being only the second Father's Day that she had to experience sisnce my dad died on 9/11) so the two of them brought my whole family backstage and showed us around. They really could not possibly have been nicer. And then, of course, there's everyone from Sweeney Todd :)
