BETH LEAVEL hands down also Max Von Essen is S0o0o0o0 nice and generous
Adam Pascal, very, very nice.
Harley Jay
Kate Shindle was really sweet and gracious. She was complimenting fans on their scarves and stuff, just super nice all around.
Christian Hoff and Daniel Reichard are really nice too.
Orfeh and Andy Karl are both wonderful, Andy has such a great sense of humor. Kaitlin Hopkins is incredibly sweet too. Other people that come to mind: Nikki Snelson, Hunter Bell (heck, the entire [tos] cast), Richard Blake, Krysta Rodriguez, Mandy Gonzalez, Julia Murney, Tracy Jai Edwards, Emily Swallow...
Alice Ripley has been super nice when I've met her. And Emily Skinner could not have been sweeter the two times I've met her ~ even when one of those ended with a monsoon off the Potomac. Both just ultra-nice.
It's a tie between Lin-Manuel Miranda and Robin DeJesus... actually everyone from In the Heights was super nice.
Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp were great too

OMG Tom! You met Mary Martin? I think she is my all time favorite actress. Lucky you!
In my 18 years of going to the theater in New York, I've waited to meet 5 people, and all 5 were kind, sweet and gracious!
Rosie O'Donnell after Grease, Chita Rivera after Spiderwoman, Michael Rupert after Falsettos, Betty Buckley after Sunset, and Victor Garber after Damn Yankess.

Noah Weisburg was the nicest actor I've ever met. I had a loooong conversation with him while we were on strike outside the Palace. I had another looong conversation with him later that day when I was walking to Young Frankenstein and realized I didnt get a pic with Nikki Snelson (who is also on my list) and we ended up talking for like 20 minutes. It was great. Roger Bart is also a doll. Katie Rose Clarke is great. Annaleigh Ashford is nice. Lauren Molina, Natalie Johnson, Alex Geminiani. Most actors are pretty nice if you are polite and gracious. :)

Beth Leavel is just the sweetest person I've ever met period.
Danny Burstein is a sweetheart. Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner were both incredibly kind as well.
And Julia Murney.
Oh my God! Beth Leavel was SO KIND! Also, Johnathan Groff wad fantastic and so was Rosie. Christine Ebersole was very gracious after Grey Gardens, but she was quiet and reserved because I think she was tired.
I would have to say hands down Tim Hower for me. We were talking for a bit after a performance of Rent and we ended up walking and talking towards the subway. We ended up walking and talking and we were both going in the same direction of the same train that we needed to take so our conversation went on from there and onto the subway until we both got off at our respective stops.
Orfeh is also really nice. I got to go into her dressing room with my friend and she was really sweet. She talked to us about the dogs and we got to play around with the pregnant suit and stuff, she let us hang with her for a good 10 minutes. Shes really nice =)
