Kristin Chenoweth.......nicest by far
I went to see Apple Tree and missed her by 5 min. and my sister found a way to tell her that I was really sad that I couldn't meet her, and she aranged for me to go backstage of the Apple Tree......and she was really nice......she really gets personal and talked about what I was doning in theater and she was so nice. Also Brian d'Arcy James was sweet.
But I was wondering how purpleprince101 thought that Ashley Brown was nice.....she is such a b**** she scared a little 3 year old away becuase she was so mean! I

Mike Starr after The Odd Couple last summer. He was so awesome!
Matthew Broderick also after The Odd Couple. He looked a little upset at first, but after about 30 sec. he was chatting and smiling away.
Dana Ivey after Butley. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met.
Stephen Weber is also a big sweetheart.

Posted: 4/25/07 at 12:06pmAt the final performance of Thoroughly Modern Millie, I got to meet the creative team. I had my Playbill signed by the music and lyric writers, Jeanine Tesori and Dick Scanlan, and had a nice chat with Jeanine and her husband Michael Rafter, who was the music director.

Posted: 4/25/07 at 1:25pmAshley Brown was VERY sweet to me, and went out of her way to help me with something, totally unnecessary. I don't know why anyone would say she was mean, she's a wonderful girl and a very talented performer.

Posted: 4/28/07 at 12:02pmMaybe to you Kelly2 but she was so mean to me and this little 3 year old. He was so scared of her that he wouldn't even meet Gavin Lee....he said "If Bert is anything like Mary......I don't wanna meet him." And she was complely unfriendly......I have 1 word about her......DIVA!

That's weird. Ashley Brown doesn't strike me as a diva. I always thought she was a really sweet girl.
Anyways, Anneliese van der Pol was a true darling at the stage door when I met her, i was towards the end of the line (i let all the "thats so raven" little kids fans go ahead of me), but by the time she got to me she didnt seem annoyed or tired at all. She was very gracious and we actually talked for a while, and I got a chance to tell her about when I was Belle in my school's BATB. She was such a sweetheart.

I don't normally wait by the Stage Door however after Aida the cast came out and Adam Pascal was very kind and gracious (I told him how much I enjoyed him in Aida and Rent).
On my second to last trip to NYC, we passed the Tarzan stage door (several times) and Josh Strickland seemed to be genuinely happy to be signing autographs and having his picture taken.

I'd have to agree with everyone who has mentioned the Spring Awakening Cast. Individually, however....Stephanie J. Block and Cherry Jones are in leagues of thier own.
On the other hand, Joan Collins was the absolute worst.

Usually the members of the ensemble or those who have small roles are nice.

Posted: 6/16/07 at 8:49pmI'd have to say julie Murney was the nicest.. She was so sweet.. Uh, Sebastian, also was very sweet.. Uh Everyone in Legally Blonde was fantastic... Minus Laura Bell Bundy.. She was not very nice.. I must say she was a bit full of herself.. And the cast of Pirate Queen was very nice as well...

cast of LITP, Tim Curry, Audra
Worst: Shoshana, Laura Bell Bundy

Eileen Atkins and Ron Eldard were two of the sweetest actors I've ever met. There were only three of us waiting at the stage door, but they each spent a good 15 minutes with us having a deep conversation about the show. Their thoughts were extremely interesting and they were so genuine with us.
And it's been said here several times, but John Gallagher Jr. really is so kind to everyone outside that stagedoor. I hope he goes far in his career because nice people deserve that!
