Oprah, Steadman and Gayle King sat in Row K

Jane Fonda was in Row D

Wow! What a night. I sat behind Jane and she was cheering, clapping, bopping to the music, and crying. She was wiping away tears from her face after "What About Love".

I suspect this is the first of a long list of Actors coming to see Fantasia tear off the roof.

I was at the play last nite. Sorry I didnt see it -

Can you move my post to that one - if possible.

I dont know if anyone posted seeing Jane Fonda's reaction to the play at all. She seemed to really enjoy everything about it and was very antimated.

Gayle King discussing Oprah and Jane Fonda's reaction to seeing Fantasia:

Oprah was "blown away": "I've known this role from the very beginning. What you did on that stage is something no one can duplicate."

Jane was "shaking like a leaf"
