Once, Cheyenne Jackson invited me backstage at Xanadu.
Oh, wait. That was just a dream.
Sadly none also. I have always been a little envious while waiting at the stage door when I see people being escorted backstage.

Being the son of a former Bob Fosse/Michael Bennett/Ron Fields dancer plus having several friends working on-and-off in Broadway shows... I've lost count.

The 24 Hour Plays at the Old Vic in London in 2005. Quite an adventure!

Posted: 4/9/08 at 2:03pmGot to go backstage after Spring Awakening through a friend who has connections to the cast. It was a pretty cool experience to see/meet a bunch of people, although that space is craamped.

Posted: 4/9/08 at 2:05pmI asked people who worked for the show. If you ask actors, they'll say "No, for insurance reasons" The one time I got turned down by a worker was at Wedding Singer when the stage manager was standing outside and said"No, due to it's the second preview and everything is very chaotic."

Posted: 4/9/08 at 2:10pmI've never been backstage for anything professional at all. When I did see the stage door to the Shubert though, I was thinking how easy it might have been to sneak in. LOL! I figured those would be guarded from the outside, but I guess I was wrong, unless it's after the show.

A portion of Patti LuPone's dressing room at the St. James Theatre. You can see the white barred windows (that overlook 44th Street) in the mirror reflection and the painting was a gift from Erik Preminger -- it belonged to his mom, Gypsy Rose Lee: 
NOTE: this dressing room originally was 2 separate dressing rooms. A wall was removed.

Posted: 4/9/08 at 3:24pmDamn Brody Fosse is that really Patti's dressing room? That's bigger/nicer than most of the apartments I've been to. Not to mention, way nicer than any dressing room I've ever had.
