Caroline Rhea at "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson"

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward at Harry Connick Jr's The Pajama Game.

That is probably the most shining occurrence, though there have been many others.

--Mariska Hargitay and husband Peter Hermann, Alec Baldwin, Patrick Stewart and Brian Stokes Mitchell all at BAM's "Streetcar Named Desire" during the huge pre-Christmas blizzard of '09 (Mariska, Peter and Alec all left during intermission!)

--Rachel Dratch at "A Little Night Music" (Peters/Stritch)

--I heard that Warren Beatty was in the audience when I saw "Sweeney Todd" but I was too high up to see anything...there was a lot of commotion

I saw Eric McCormack at Promises, Promises in August last year

Anthony Rapp at Next to Normal (twice, Alice's last in July and closing night two weeks ago).
Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows also at Next to Normal in November.

I really don't have any except for Bruce Willis at Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

Jay-Z at Chicago
John Waters at Cry Baby

MusicAngel, we must have seen the same performance of Next to Normal!!!! I literally was sitting 2 rows behind Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend, David Burtka. At that same performance, a very pregnant Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs were stage door-ing the show....pretty much the best theater experience ever! :-P

When I saw Light in the Piazza, I also saw Christine Baranski (coincidentally, I also sat next to her at an amateur performance of Streetcar Named Desire)

Today I sat down in the lobby next to Hugh Jackman and Alfre Woodard at John Gabriel Borkman. Didn't realize it was them for about five minutes, when one of their mutual friends introduced someone to them. Also saw L&O:SVU's Christopher Meloni in the lobby as well.

I saw Jake Gyllenhaal at A Little Night Music back around Thanksgiving.

BroadwayBound, my mom was at that performance of Night Music as well. She was sitting right near him and made a point of "bumping" into him as they left. It was all she could talk about for the next day!

Zac Efron and Mariska Hargitay at In the Heights (not on the same night)
Robert Sean Leonard at Company
