Charles Nelson Reilly sat behind me at "Robeson" (Which he directed) and chatted with us after the show. He was a really nice man.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson at the revival of "Sweeney Todd". Spoke to him during intermission.
My favorite...Chita Rivera literally knocked me to the lobby floor at "Platinum" during intermission in Philly. It was opening night and her daughter was in the show. She helped me up off of the floor. I spilled my beverage on my pants but didn't care. It was Chita!

Posted: 7/30/10 at 6:58pmTaye Diggs and Chris Lowell at Dusk Rings A Bell. There was also the possibility that Tracie Thoms saw Shrek, because she went to the stage door after, but I am not positive.

When I took my niece to see The Boy From Oz in June 2003, Gloria Estefan was in the audience. My niece wanted to got up to her at the interval, but I pulled her back and said no, explaining that she was there to enjoy the show like the rest of us, and if she went up to her others would too, and it would spoil the show for her. My niece wasn't happy but she stayed put. Apparently she was watching Ms. Estefan because suddenly she got all excited saying, "she smiled at me!" and proceeded to call a friend to say she'd had a "moment" with Gloria Estefan.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I just remembered a couple more...I saw Alan Alda and George Takei at the final performance of the Ragtime revival, and John Lithgow at a performance of Hair in the park that wound up getting rained out.

Not counting the record-breaking performance of Phantom or the opening night of Lestat since there were plenty of celebrities at both...

Sir Cameron Mackintosh...sat behind him at Phantom once.
Alice Coooper...passed him at the stage door on the first night of Lestat previews.

Posted: 7/31/10 at 8:50pmNot my story, but a friend of mine was in NYC on business and decided to take in a few shows. I forget what she was seeing but she said she took her seat and noticed an older woman was sitting next to her takling to the person next to her. After a bit the woman turned to my friend and asked her a question. my friend said her jaw dropped. It was Patricia Neal. She said they sat and chatted for 10 minutes before the curtain and she was elated.

Jason Alexander at Billy Elliot
Mariska Hargitay at Equus (the Alec Baldwin production)
Was at the same performance of Merchant of Venice in the park as Tracy Ullman, Kate Burton, and Meryl Streep. Didn't see them until afterwards though.

Ben Stiller and his mother Anne Meara sat behind me at Chita Rivera: The Dancer's Life. Ben looked forward the whole time and made no eye contact. Anne looked all over, waved, blew kisses, touched my shoulder and rubbed it when she accidentally grabbed me when getting up. She was really warm. Ben was in "don't acknowledge me" mode. He was pleasant though.
Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes sat in front of at God Of Carnage.They were seated as the lights went down in the house and they left before curtain call. It was like a week before their divorce. They did not speak once during intermission. They looked at their Playbills. I thought Kate was probably trying to figure out which part she wanted to play in the movie.
I sat next to Marhsa Mason at Easter Bonnet a few years ago. She was really chill and chatted with me like any normal seat neighbor at a show. I never acknowledged who she was.

"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

Clive Davis must go to the theater a lot; I saw him at Finian’s Rainbow. And I’ve also had the “unknown” celebrity phenomenon, too. Someone from Zoey 101 was at the Glee concert when I saw it, and someone in Eve’s Bayou was at Fences, but I didn’t recognize them and don’t know their names (although other people were asking for their autographs).
Bettyboy, are you sure it was God of Carnage? That show had no intermission.
