Recently?
David Hyde Pierce, Karen Ziemba and Debra Monk were all so kind and gracious (it was pooring rain!).
Also Norm Lewis was so humbled when I mentioned to him that I fell in love with voice when he sang "You Should be Loved" in Side Show after The Little Mermaid.

One of the coolest was Jaqueline Piro-Donovan who chatted me up for about 20 minutes after Witches of Eastwick.

But to me hands down the nicest EVER... has been Linda Eder. She is so into her audience when she comes out and stays no matter how long they chat her up. The first time I ever saw her it was raining and her Limo had not shown up and instead of going back inside she stood out with the 5 of us who waited and talked about everything from her concert to the best food around the country. She was so fab!
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Any leading lady working for a Wildhorn show (Eder, Andreas, Coleen Sexton, Andrea Rivette) are defantely the nicest. Coincidence? I don't know. Also Lea Salonga on given nights.

Matt Morrison exceeded even my best expectations ! Cheyenne and Kerry were wonderful, too, as was the whole cast of In The Heights ! Actually, all the people I stage-doored for, were very down to earth and gracious ! I can't say that I've had a bad experience yet !

If we're straying a little from Broadway, as I always get confused as to whether she actually took over for Julie Andrews in Camelot, or just took it on tour...
Kathryn Grayson is the absolute nicest celebrity I have ever met. She was so lovely to me, even offered me cookies the first time I met her, haha.

As far as definite Broadway- there are simply no words to describe how lovely Marian Seldes is. And Christine Ebersole is pretty stellar. :)
It's like writing "Norma Shearer for the win!" in a Joan Crawford biography.

Megan Hilty is absolutely the nicest broadway star I've met. She posed for a picture and waited when I had to change my camera batteries!

On the same evening, Ben Vereen was a complete jerk, but I've asked around and it seems like he was possibly just having a bad night.

Stephanie J. Block
Kate Shindle
Julia Murney
Jerry Mitchell - I think he counts! Wasn't he a performer before he was a choreographer? Forgive me, I'm a "newer" fan!

Stephanie J. Block and Cristy Candler-They both made me feel like a friend that they haven't seen in a very long time. In general the whole Wicked cast is nice.

All the people that I met from Legally Blonde were nice also and I haven't the slightest clue who they were(I only saw the show once). I know it wasn't any of the leads...lol
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

I met Patti Lupone after she did a concert here. She wanted to see some drag queens, so her entourage asked us where they could be found. We told them where to go and they invited us to come along. We sat at Patti's table and she was extremely friendly and gracious to us 4 wide eyed fans. We chatted, took pictures, and generally had a ball. :)
White, a blank page or canvas. His favorite - so many possibilities. F--- you, Ms. Johnson. Word.

Tim howar by far. He knew us and he was so sweet. He invited us backstage on his last show and he gave us a tour and talked to us for like an hour. So funny and nice!


Robin De Jesus was really nice, Haven Burton (Remembered me), Becky Gulsvig, Telly Leung, Lin Manuel, Mandy Gonzalez, Karen (Not the biggest personality but very sweet) and Rosie Lani Fiedelman! (Also my cousin twice removed or something)

Debra Monk, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Fitzgerald, Sutton Foster, Gavin Creel, Jennifer Simard and the whole cast of the bee for that matter, Roger Bart. I actually found him walking past the front of our hotel as he was arguing with Susan Stroman about something and I asked for both their pictures. and im sure they were like damn tourists, but they played it off really nicely!
