Was there someone famous in the audience at Come from Away on Saturday night?

I was at Come from Away on Saturday night. (The show was great!) A few minutes before the show started, there was some cheering in the back of the orchestra and a bunch of audience members were standing up, apparently looking at someone else in the audience. I asked at the stage door, and the cast members hadn't heard about anyone famous being there that night.

I realize that this is a long shot, but does anyone know who the cheering was for?

NO it was Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra.

Apparently from what I've read, the Clintons saw Oslo on Saturday. I do not know if they were at the matinee or evening performance, but I do know that they often did two show days, so perhaps they had seen Oslo in the afternoon and CFA that evening.

As far as we could tell the ushers were just getting the audience pumped up. We went to the stage door after and the cast all came out and left pretty quickly (they were going to a Canada Day celebration) which, from my general experience, they usually hang out backstage longer if someone famous was in the audience and is meeting them afterward. The entire cast told us that they'd rated that nights audience top 5 ever, though. The first person who said it I assumed was just having fun but everyone said the same thing independently.

Wow, they look great for their ages .

Don't tell me Broadway has gone the way of those dreadful TV audience chat shows and need a warm-up guy to get those women hysterical[patrons].

So ushers have to check tickets/show people to seats/stop picture taking and now start a 3 ring circus before a show begins????

Lordy--thank God for a good book.
