The choosing was not...

Circle in the Square lobby, about 3 weeks ago, I was talking to Todd Buonpane, and I was wearing the 'SHOW OFF' shirt from The Drowsy Chaperone. Apparently, the shirt is too big on me, because he read it as 'SHOW OF'. So he proceeds to throw his arms in the air and yell "SHOW OF...THE CENTURY! STARRING CHRISSY! WAHOO!" I stood there with the most puzzled look on my face until he pointed at my shirt. Then I had to explain it to him haha.
When I was at the stage door for Sweeney Todd, David Hess (the standby for Judge Turpin- he had gone on that night) comes out. He was going to leave but people were asking for his autograph- he didn't expect people to want to talk to him since he was only a standby. He was talking to these two girls next to me and it went a bit like this: Girl: That was AMAZING. I just LOVED 'Johanna'. [referring to Turpin's 'Johanna', of course] David Hess: Yeah..Did you enjoy my orgasm? Girl: *nods* David Hess: Yeah, me too.
Last Fall, Adam Pascal did a CD signing at Tower Records (Lincoln Center). I brought two friends from school with me, and one of them told Adam she had seen him in AIDA, but didn't really remember a lot of it [because it was a long time ago]. Adam goes ".... were you drunk?!"
Emcee, I actually laughed out loud at that one. Very funny. I can see Adam saying something like that.

When I went to go see Sweeney in April, Alexander Gemignani came out first at the stage door, holding his trumpet. He signed Playbills, still holding his trumpet. As he was leaving, he said, "No, I'm not going to serenade you (you as in the crowd)." Apparently, his trumpet was stuck and couldn't take it apart to put it in its case. That was a great moment.

Little bit of a long story but so worth it. So back when I was a senior in high school(2000) all I wanted to do was go to NY and see John C. Reily and Phil Hoffman in True West. It was(still is) my favorite play and those are two of my favorite actors. Add to the top of that, that PSH is a graduate of my high school and we shared the same acting teacher.
I scheduled a trip around april to catch the show. Afterwards I waited in the lobby for him and we had a nice 10-15 min convo about our hometown, high school, my hair color at the time, Sam Shepard....you name it we covered it. I thanked him for taking time to talk to me and walked out. As I was standing outside Circle I went to light up a smoke and I felt a tap on my shoulder...this is where it gets funny....it was PSH. He looks at me and says "Man this is strange, can I bum a smoke?" of course I said yes and he goes on with "Jesus this is weird, shouldn't you be bumming these off me? I guess adults have to go to the high schoolers for smokes now" I asked him why there wasn't any smoking in the play, like it calls for and he says "Cause I'm trying to 'quit'(air quotes and all)" and then this is the part that kills me, he said "Oh and if Reiley or my girlfriend come up that escalator before I finish this, just tell me, they'll both *uck*ing kill me if they see me smoking"
Well they came up and he quick hands me the smoke and I took it and as they walked out the door he says "...and thats why you need to quit before it becomes a habit, it was hell for me to quit....Oh hey guys are you ready to leave?" He introduced me to all and then the 3 of them went their seperate ways.
Needless to say it made my trip.
long winded much?

I mentioned to Maria Eberline that I loved her Coach bag and she said "OH ME TOO! It's the first designer purse I've ever been able to afford on my own! Hey, I like you! I like anybody who appreciates a good Coach bag! *giggle*"

AT the Threepenny stage door there was this girl there who was asking the all of the actors long-winded questions. So she asked Nellie McKay if she had any advice on good schools to attend for theater and Nellie said "Oh. . Oh. .I don't know. I chose my school because it had the best pot." It was so funny because the girl was dead serious and completely shocked when Nellie said that.
Spamalot stage door..My dh did a show with David Hyde Pierce in college..so over the fence my dh said "Long time since we did Gilbert and sullivan at the Berkley College Cafeterie" To which DHP replied.."Chris, What are you doing here?" This was followed by handshaking..then DHP focused in on my husband and said "You still have alot of hair!"
Didn't Joaquin Phoenix say something about a frog on his head at the premiere of Walk the Line?
That was the first thing I thought about when I read the title of this thread. He kept saying that he couldn't concentrate because of "the sensation that aliens are eating his brain" or something like that.

Sheree Rene considered everything "Wiiild" at the stage door one night after DRS. Even after things like, "You were great!" and "I loved you in _______!" Everything was just "Wiiild."
