When I stage-doored at the revival of Into the Woods, I asked Adam Wylie, "Weren't you in that movie, Under Wraps?" He said, "Yes, I was." And I said, "I knew I recognized you." And Molly Ephraim thanked me when I complimented her on her performance and even let my dad take a picture of us.
Then when I stage-doored at Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Ellen Marlow let me shake her hand, Erin Dilly laughed when I told her my theory on why the Baroness doesn't want children (committment issues), and Kevin Cahoon said, "Wow, you have a really good memory" when I told him that I had seen him in The Lion King back in the day.
Not so much stage door but I saw The Light in the Piazza last spring the day before Easter. They were collecting for BC/EFA. Victoria Clark was in the lobby. I complimented her on her performance and congratulated her on her Tony. She said thank you. And she was genuinely nice about it.
When I saw Spring Awakening a few days ago, Lilli Cooper and Lea Michele could not have been nicer. I asked Lea for a picture of her. She was nice enough to make it clear that she doesn't like being in pictures by her lonesome. So she brought Lauren Pritchard over and asked, "Do you wanna take a picture of me and Lauren?" I did so. And then Lilli Cooper was nice enough to sign my playbill. I told her, "I saw your dad at this same theatre." She responded, "I know it's crazy." And I'm almost certain that I didn't thank any of them. I feel very ashamed about that.
