Posted: 7/12/11 at 3:56pmAlso, Christine Baranski all the time at The Met. She is a serious opera fan. I sometimes see her twice in one week.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Do you think she goes home and says "I saw AC126748 at the opera TWICE this week!"
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

In my mind she does, givesmevoice. LOL.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but I mentioned Baranski's frequent operagoing because it shows that she truly loves the art form. She's not one of those celebrities who shows up at the Met on opening night to be photographed and then doesn't go back until the following season's opening night.

Posted: 11/18/11 at 5:47pmI was just thinking about this thread because Christine Baranski (or someone who looks a lot like her) is in a commercial for the Met's production of La Boheme. I hadn't seen your response to my post, AC, but I wasn't really being sarcastic; I think it's great that she obviously loves it so much.

Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs sat 2 rows in front of us at The Wedding Singer (and it was really distracting trying to pay attention to the show)

Posted: 11/18/11 at 7:03pmI saw Tina Fey at The Book of Mormon. After the show I waited at the stage door and I saw Fey walk to her car. Not that many people noticed her. XD

#109What Celebrities Have You Seen at Shows?
Posted: 11/18/11 at 7:23pmCan't remember which show it was, but years ago I saw Jerry Orbach waiting for someone in front of the Booth. He was a smaller-framed man than he appeared to me to be on TV, and he had on the most beautifully tailored suit I've ever seen, before or since. He was very charming and approachable. Also saw Rex Harrison, not too long before he passed away, sitting in one of the theaters on 45th St., waiting for the lights to go down. He looked like an elderly lion and was talking in a very animated Higgins-like way, with lots of hand gestures, to a younger woman who was with him; I think she was his last wife.

Posted: 11/18/11 at 7:26pmBarbara Walters was at Hugh Jackman the other week. I saw her coming out of the stage door afterwards and she was genuinely shocked people started clapping and calling her name. She scurried off like a roach when the lights go on at that point.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.

plenty in LA... Diane Keaton, Eliza Dushku, Matthew Morrison, Adam Brody, Fred Willard, Eric Stonestreet, Harry Shum Jr, Missi Pyle, the American nanny from The Parent Trap, minor actors from network TV shows, et al.
The oddest was seeing the guy who plays Stanley on The Office in the audience for a student-produced show at my university.
in NY:
Shirley MacLaine at Next to Normal
Morgan Freeman at Book of Mormon (I saw God when I saw the Book of Mormon!)
the aforementioned Jane Lynch (we must have been at the same show, kchenofan)
Brooke Shields at Godspell
Robert DeNiro at Death of a Salesman (during the TriBeCa film festival—that one perplexed me)
I feel like there have been more but I can't think of any off the top of my head
Audra McDonald at Hair, if that counts?
but by far the most terrifying was Anna Wintour at Lonely, I'm Not. She was sitting right behind me and I was petrified for most of the show. I've never been more grateful for a show to be 90 minutes with no intermission! (and I did enjoy the show in spite of my fear)

#123What Celebrities Have You Seen at Shows?
Posted: 5/28/12 at 9:03amI sat behind Dolly Parton, Patricia Resnick, Joe Mantello and Andy Blankenbuehler at the 4th preview of 9 to 5, and chatted with Resnick during intermission.
#124What Celebrities Have You Seen at Shows?
Posted: 5/28/12 at 9:28amI saw Rita Moreno twice in a month. First at EVITA (My mother saw her at intermission and, noting her hairstyle, called her "fake Joan Rivers"...Needless to say she was shocked when she exited the stage door), and then at THE COLUMNIST with Chita Rivera.
