Wow I had so much fun! I probably got there about 4:30, and left at about 5:30 or so. I got to Joel Grey, and told him how my best friend loved him in Cabaret (she wanted me to bring the record sleeve that she has, but I knew he wouldn't be able to sign it) and he shook my hand and laughed. I complimented the everyone on the cast about the amazing job they did, and when I reached Idina, she was talking to NOrbert (lol), and I waited there for what seemed like half a minute. They finally stopped talking and I told Idina how amazing I thought she was (I know I know cliche) and told her how she went from the "bottom" of my list to the "top" of my list within two days (with corresponding handmotions), to which she laughed a bit. I then told her how she's at the top of my list with Bernadette Peters and Barbra Streisand, which I thought would be nice, but the whole cast started laughing! I did too, and walked a way to meet Gregory Maguire. When I got off the landing where the cast was, I turned to my sister and friend, and commented on how much of an idiot I felt like after saying that to Idina. They both told me how completely touched Idina looked after I said that, and then I felt better.
