The top of my list has to be Cherry Jones. Truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. After a matinee of Doubt, she stood by the stage door chatting with everyone and waited until the last person left before she went her own way. A very cool woman indeed.

I met one of the chorus girls from Mamma Mia as well as the three leading ladies. I paid to get a picture with them for a charitable reason. Sean McCourt from Wicked was really nice. I got his picture and autograph.

My vote goes out to Megan Hilty! She is soooo sweet. It felt like I was chatting with Glinda. She has a lot of personality.

Eden Espinosa is very nice as well.

Michael Cerveris is really sweet. In fact, pretty much everyone in the Sweeney cast is really nice.

The entire current cast of Hairspray. I've visited the stagedoor after seeing the show a few times, and they are all friendly and generous with the fans. Especially Andrew Rannells, Tracy Miller, and John Pinette. The tone of the show really carries over to the stagedoor. Such a happy group of people!

Both Andrew Rannells and Tracy Miller are very nice, especially Tracy who I am friendly with. She really is so sweet and very appreciative of her fans...I'm so sad that she's leaving re: Really Nice actors. But really the whole cast of Hairspray is as nice as they can be...there really are no divas in that cast! Besides Tracy, Donna Vivino, Leah Hocking, and Stephen DeRosa are my favorites from that cast.

Megan Hilty is also one of the sweetest people you will meet...and she is a genuinely kind person. There is no pretense there. re: Really Nice actors Other favorites: David Ayers, Christian Anderson and Jen Barnhart from Avenue Q, Jenn Gambatese, and Gavin Creel

Oh yes, you can definitely add Jessica Boevers to my list. I met her after a show last year. She was really sweet and talked to me for a good amount of time.

I also am fortunate enough to be working with her on a production at the moment. She's one of the nicest people you'll meet, in addition to all of the other actors in the cast :)

Megan Hilty and Maureen McGovern are so sweet! I complimented Megan on her very cute Chanel sunglasses after the show, and she stopped and chatted with me for awhile, and signed all three things that I asked. Such a sweetie!


And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.

Hi all
Ah Michael Ball, no actor or singer is as nice with his fans, old and new. Met him many times at the stage door, in London and USA. Always chatty, with a smile and time to pose and sign for all that ask if time allows.
Cheers,

The Sweeney cast is incredibly nice. I carried on very nice conversations with Michael Cerveris, Lauren Molina, Alexander Gemignani, Manoel Felciano and Donna Lynne Champlin. Very nice.

The cast of Avenue Q from last summer was also very nice.

The whole gosh darn adorable Foster family (including Foster-to-be Christian Borle!)

Aww! I love those kids.
