i have a feeling i'll live to regret my prior post once Mr. Diggs comes to join us.

HA! I've already made an ass out of myself in front of Taye.... it's all good

A friend introduced us when we were in Chicago (and he still teases me about it to this day)... If I recall correctly, I had something I like to call 'fish syndrome:' I shook his hand, and opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.

Yeah, laugh, it's the one and only time I've done that though! lol

Well I'm sorry! But when you're standing less than a foot away from someone that gorgeous, it's either stammer or faint lol I thought stammering was the more graceful approach

CJR, I probably would have handled it worse than you did! If I found myself face to face with Taye Diggs, I would probably say something insanely stupid. Sometimes not talking is the better way to go...

Haha lol like I said, my friend still teases me.... "Hey, remember when I introduced you to Taye Diggs?" yeah, yeah, yeah lol

I laugh about it now, but it took a while to get over my mortification everytime I saw him at the theatre after that lol

Yes, I do believe this enthusiasm might be a tad much...

At any rate, thank you very much for caring enough to try to ease our concerns about the Rent movie. If you want to participate on other threads, we're all happy to have you. If you're sticking to the Rent movie thread, we appreciate it all the same. It's very nice of you to go out of your way to answer people's questions.

Welcome to the boards Anthony! I suggest a helmet and proper usage of the search feature. Enjoy the cult!

I would just like to say that Little Shop was my first and as of now the only Broadway show I have seen. Ever. I was totally unaware of Broadway actors and what they were up to at the time, so I nearly had a heart attack when I read my playbill Okay I promise to keep the fawning to a minimum now...

Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do... RIP Jason

I love this! For every Broadway personality who is brave, interested, and masochistic enough to participate here, there are sure to be dozens others who don't participate but just visit frequently to read the many ridiculous things being said about them. Understandably it's a busy, exhausting career so I applaud those who can find the time to chime in and fight back if need be.

Shouldn't be too hard of a battle. "Hi, this is [insert name] and I'd like to disagree with what [insert BWW poster] said about me" should be enough to get them backpedaling and everyone else agreeing wholeheartedly.

ok, first I have to say that it feels awkward calling anthony "anthony", because it's like, since when are we on a first-name basis? He's just so amazing I'm not worthy! should I call him Mr. Rapp? but anyway...where is Mr. Rapp from? isn't it Joliet? because that's like 30 minutes from my house!

Indeed, it's nice to have those whose work we appreciate stop by and say hello.

I spend way too much time on this board.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 1:03am

I've been saying it all along, Matt.

What do you think would happen if Idina started posting on here? Just imagine.

RENT in Joliet.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 1:03am

If it's really 30 minutes from your house, nobiz, you damn well better have just seen the RENT tour, and you'd damn well better be posting a review!

Have you seen the new tour cast, Anthony? They're actually pretty amazing. I'm really critical about who plays Mark because of the bar you raised, but Andy Meeks does the role justice. I think you'd be proud.

Oh God, Tiff, the boards would crash with the sheer fangirl overload if she came on here.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 1:19am

Tiff, that would create a civil war to end all board battles.
If Idina posted there would be not only an onslaught of countless messages of worship (which, I am a fan, but she IS a human being), but there would be a battle as to whether or not it really WAS her.

Let us not think about it. The whole site would implode.

Hi, this is Paul McCartney and I'd like to disagree with what Broadway_Matt said about me. Actually, he hasn't said anything about me, but now I fully expect him to start spewing statements, and they better be all kiss-ass comments.

Hm.

In any case: Welcome, Anthony.

And if Mr.Rapp/Anthony (what do we call him?) reads these boards even every now and then, he surely knows better than to suggest to Idina to join and post.

She'd be traumatized for life.

Do you think "Welcome White Boy!" ^ is an inappropriate title? Geez, ShrbrtAlley, that's rude of you to start.



I was talking on the phone and trying to figure out an alternative way to address Anthony aside from his first name. Wasn't thinking too clearly.

Hooo...yeah.

In that case, safe to say Mr. Pascal and Ms. Menzel won't be here for until hell freezes over.

Or a few members get restraining orders and some serious counselling.
