Enuff of the negative, ANTHONY RAPP by FAR. He spent ALOT of time outside of the Nederlander, have had many long conversations with him on weekdays when no one was there.
One would think that the search button on this site had been disabled. Seven pages of posts and the last one having only been posted a little over 24 hours ago and we get a new thread about the same thing.

John T at "Avenue Q". I honestly didn't care for the show at all but I could appreciate John's talent. I got the chance to meet him at a later time and found him to be so low key and genuine without a hint of arrogance that it was refreshing. He is clearly a well trained professional on the stage and off the stage he is incredibly (sorry but I HAVE to use this word) sweet.
Need to add one more: JACKIE HOFFMAN! Met her way back during "The Book of Liz" and she was a hoot. She had this whole disgruntled "I'm-Put-Out" schtick going on for autographs (but not in that nasty Nathan Lane way) and really she was a doll. She is one naturally funny gal, and nice too. If you get the chance to meet her, do so. You won't regret it.

I've seen a LOT of wonderful, wonderful theatrical folk at stage doors; but, hands down, Hugh Jackman has got to take the prize.
How he had the stamina, patience and mental fortitude to unfailingly and graciously face those crowds every day is mind boggling. Nice, heck - he deserves sainthood. (Though I'm glad I met him, I will never wait in that kind of mob scene again.)
