Posted: 5/1/08 at 10:02amI seem to recall we all made fun of Sping Awakening fans for giving the cast a certain vegetable, but I can't remember what it was. Was it Spinach?

Thank you for making me spit my drink out. As soon as I saw the title I knew what this was about.
Yes, it was spinach.

I must ask:
WHY??? There has to be a reason: even for the FanGirls to do something so ridiculous!
Thanks for any background!
(I could not resist opening a thread with this title.)

Now, if it had been Cheyenne, that would have made sense.
The Popeye story.
OK, it would have made sense to me.

aww, spinach!! I remember when this was the best fangirl story *ever*- I've since heard better. :)
MethodActor: from what I remember (the The Guilty Ones on here, feel free to correct this), there was a Spring Awakening fangirl who was always gifting the cast with homemade sweets. And one day a cast member said that he was on a diet, trying to get her to stop, so then instead the next time she came to the show she gifted him with spinach. As in actual leaf spinach. And thus spinach was born.
BTW, excellent working of "omg voluntaries!!" in the title, lol. Voluntaries >>>>> spinach.

Vegetables for Broadway stars? How novel!

Lol- spend any time on here, or other sites, or reading the crap made up on broadwaysecrets? Or at any stage door... so many stories. For example, the "stalking anthony rapp" video on youtube creeps me out way more than spinach does.

It was for Skylar Astin, right?
If it was...he totally deserved it.

Posted: 5/1/08 at 3:11pmI believe an added, um, feature of the story was that it was fresh spinach that the fan kept on her throughout the show, so it was rather wilted when presented to the actor. Yum, yum!
