I got to meet all five of the Altar Boyz on tour and they were super sweet and funny! Also, most of the Wicked touring cast members were really nice in San Diego.

First and Foremost: Daniel Reichard! I went to his christmas concert and he was just amazing to me afterwards as well as everytime I've seen Jersey Boys!
Basically everyone from JB but I haven't really gotten a chance to talk to or take pictures with any of the women in the show which is disappointing.
Tim Howar and most of the Spamalot cast.

Celia Keenan-Bolger. She gave me a hug after she realized I was the one who sent her stuff..and now she recognizes me, after having been to the Les Miz stagedoor about 6 times. XP Such a sweet lady. (and she's so tiny!) I <3 CKB! (I made buttons) Sidenote: Does anyone know if the Zipper has a stage door, or something remotely close to it? I've seen Jacques Brel and Working, and have yet to find a room/door (or an usher...)

The cast of the Fantasticks was so nice at the stage door. Also, so was Celia Keenen-Bolger, as others have said.

Jenn Colella. Tim Howar (most of the current and recent Rent casts, actually). Raul Esparza was surprisingly talkative and funny. Adam Pascal is sweet, short of making us freeze in the cold for over an hour waiting for him. Josh Strickland is probably as nice as he can possibly be considering he gets absolutely mobbed.

I've never really had a bad experience, short of Will Chase acting slightly pissy and rushed. Then again, it was on the verge of his show closing, and his Barbie girlfriend was waiting, so I can't blame him too much.

MICHAEL CERVERIS.

A gentleman and a sweetheart.

Beth Leavel
Andrew Lippa
Kecia Lewis-Evans - she gave us the recap of what had happened on American Idol that night (during her long break in the middle of the show) by imitating the contestants.. so hilarious!

jon groff
john gallagher jr.
paul mcgill
julia murney

groff really stands out though. i was visiting new york and my friend took me to spring awakening. her last time seeing it, she briefly met groff through a mutual friend. when we got to the theatre, she wrote him a note saying hi and wishing him a good show. after the show when he came out he told her that he actually put us on the stage door list after he got the note during intermission and we could've gone in if we tried

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.

Cherry Jones (she has to be the most gracious woman on the face of the earth)
Michael Cerveris (when my Sharpie died he went in and got me a new one)
Cyndi Lauper (she talked with the stage door-ers for at least thirty minutes)
Daphne Rubin-Vega (same as Cyndi)
Jenny Galloway (even though she tried to run away, once I stopped her she was wonderful)
Barbara Walsh (wonderful woman)
Julianne Moore, Bill Nighy, and the "The Vertical Hour" cast (especially Bill)
Victoria Clark (She is wonderful)
Kelli O'Hara (x2)
Aaron Lazar (at "Piazza")
Patti LuPone (the second time I met her at "Gypsy")
George Hearn

Oh, and I got to go backstage with the "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" cast. Greatest moment of my life.
