Any success tips? Taking my niece, she's a big big fan.

I tried not once, not twice, but thrice to get a picture with him while I was there in March. It did not work out that well. The last time I got close enough to take a photo of him as he was signing this Puertorican girl's poster of him. I think your best bet would be to get to the stage door at least 45 mins early and stand right next to the door and just wait it out and hope he comes by and signs your stuff. No pics with him for a long while. Hopefully this show gets a good run so I can go back and try for a photo-op.

Thanks, that's what I thought, based on that YouTube clip of him leaving with hundreds of people waiting for him.

I wonder if one can catch him when he arrives - do they whisk him in quickly?

Maybe you could throw tear gas and kidnap him in the ensuing confusion? That could be the basis for a lasting and significant friendship...

When someone can explain the thrill of a split-second contact with a celebrity who could only see you as nothing more than one faceless cow out of an enormous herd - maybe then I'll lose my revulsion of the stage door.

^For me it is just the thrill of getting to gloat afterwards when I see my friends and other people who love theater.

There are just certain people I want to meet and tell them how much I adore their music. With Ricky I have a special connection because my Grandfather is from Puerto Rico and so I feel like he could have grown up with my dad had the family stayed there...

The Argentinians are just as crazy about seeing their Elena Roger in person. Our crack reporter @Floopi spotted her today on 5th Avenue! She said she was wearing black sunglasses and trying look inconspicuous, but Floopi knew it was our Eva:

I could understand gloating maybe if you had dinner with him, maybe a real one-to-one conversation as equals.

Otherwise, as noted above, the fan is barely noticed, and thus the contact has no essential meaning; it's only a fantasy.

Does that necessarily preclude a date?

@luha Does he now? Funny he never talks about said partner on his twitter account. Not even on holidays or even a birthday? Maybe he just likes keeping his life private.

And yes before you say it, I am a stalker and I follow his every move via twitter.

Lady - Yes, he does. I think it's new-ish, maybe less than 6 months or so.

And newintown - I think most people after partnered don't date anymore.

I guess it depends upon your definition of "date."

You have to schtup Newintown.

Nick set that up to discourage as many people as possible from even trying.
