At the June 14th night show for Jersey Boys, Peter Gallagher was there and went backstage. The people who wnated pictures with him after were happy when they saw how nice he was and he took pictures with whoever had asked. Very nice of him

Alec Baldwin, sitting center orchestra at Wednesday's Pajama Game. I wouldn't have noticed him at all if he hadn't participated vigorously in the post-show watch auction. He ended up matching the top bidder's contribution, and got quite the round of applause for it.

On the way to dinner at Cafe Un Deux Trois on Wednesday I walked past Ralph Fiennes near Toys R Us in Times Square. Then in the restaurant I saw Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo (eating separately).

Lauren Bacall at the 6/2 performance of Jersey Boys.

I swear that Tony Kushner and Jay Reiss were at Red Light Winter last night, but that just seems really odd.

ok. so, this happened a while ago, but i got you all beat. i saw the last performance of soldier's play at 2ST last november. there were lots of familiar faces - most of the cast of rent, susan hilferty, and some others i forgot. but... when i sat down in my seat, there is this huge man sitting behind me witha turtleneck sweater, aviator sunglasses, and a hat. he looked suspicious, and even though i couldn't see his face, he looked familiar. during intermission, i get up to go to the bathroom, and he's two people in front of me, but this time, no hat or glasses. i just see the back of his beautiful bald head. it's not until we are standing next to each other at the urinal that i realize... LL COOL J. yes, that's right. i peed with LL. i was tempted to say, "i loved you in deep blue sea", but i refrained.

Glenn Close was at the Sweeney evening show on 6/10.

while i am not a urinal peeker, i would be lying if i said the thought never crossed my mind. however, LL is a huge man. i didn't want to make him angry, especially after he kicked some serious michael meyers ass in H20, so i left him alone.

This was not on Broadway, but I did not want to start a new thread. I saw Mame last night at the Kennedy Center. After the show I was at the stage door and saw Sam Waterston coming out of the building. He was not there to see Mame however. He saw a play starring John Heard called Love Lies Bleeding at the terrace theater. He was there with his family, but was kind enough to sign a few autographs before he left.

I saw Kaye Ballard at a matinee of WOMAN IN WHITE. I think if you took an intermission poll of the audience, they would've voted to scrap Act II of WIW and have the marvelous Miss Ballard stand next to a piano, tell stories and sing for the rest of the afternoon (that is, those of us who stayed for Act II. The way people were leaving, you would've thought the Marquis was on fire)
