Christian Hoff and Daniel Reichard are really nice too.

Posted: 4/16/08 at 7:19pmAlice 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.

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.

Posted: 4/16/08 at 9:57pmNoah 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.
#72re: Who was the nicest Broadway actor or actress you met?
Posted: 4/16/08 at 10:07pmOh 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.
#73re: Who was the nicest Broadway actor or actress you met?
Posted: 4/16/08 at 10:08pmI 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.
#74re: Who was the nicest Broadway actor or actress you met?
Posted: 4/16/08 at 11:13pmOrfeh 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 =)
