Worst Stagedoor Experience Ever — Page 3

I would take CJR's word for it, about security. Since she has friends in the cast at the Ambassador, I heard. She would know. Since she has friends in the cast. Oh, and I think she has friends in the cast?

Christina, at least you guys could laugh about it. :) She probably didn't even realize what a freakin' lunatic she was.

"I hate little kids too!!! The matinee of "Hairspray" I went to was INSANE! I was waiting a little past the barricades cause there were SO many people. Little kids kept pushing their way in front of me and shoving their programs so I didn't get Harvey's signature."

I'm not ready to let go of this one yet, so I'm bringing it back for another go-round. G'damn little kids wanting an autograph. Don't they know that's for adults?

I don't mind little kids as long as their parents aren't too crazy :) (Mother-daughter pairs are INSANE at the stagedoor sometimes.) Once I saw Gavin Creel get mobbed by a bunch of little girls and I just melted...and Tom Cavanaugh was adorable chatting with some little kids.

>>>You know, I forgot about this, but Matt Morrison practically offered himself to ME when I met him at the flea market...he said, "I'm Matt."

There was lust in his eyes, I tell ya <<<

haha!

"How about some more "good" stage door experiences ? :)"
The cast of Avenue Q are always so sweet!!! I ruv them all!!! :)
The Urinetown cast was also really super-nice!
So is the Hairspray cast!
And when they come out the Wicked cast is nice as well :)

But yes, actors have lives too and it's a priveledge, not a right, to be a groupie who gets an autograph &/or photo from a celebrity, Broadway or otherwise. Besides, they have the evil eBayers who make $$$ off their name without their consent. That'd be enough to make anyone pissed.

Wow. Way to put things in perspective, Miriam! It's a great story and if it were up to me, we'd let her story be the grand finale of this tedious thread. End it on a high note.

I agree...totally a privelege. I dislike those people who demand things and I understand that they have lives. Sometimes, there's those people who go the extra mile because they obviously enjoy doing so and don't act like it's a huge burden. :) You just tend to here a lot of negatives about the stagedoor thing and not too many positives. :)

Ah, Dollypop. You have made my day!

And, oh, the stories I'm sure you could tell if you weren't such a gentleman! :o)

beacon 1-"How early do you have to leave you seats to get a good place at the barricades"

one time i went to a matinee of wicked, saw little shop that night, waited at lsoh's stage door and got hunter and kerry's autographs/pics, then went over to the wicked stage door and i was the 1st person there. you don't always have to get the autographs right after the performance that you just saw.

My worst experience happened in 1998 when I saw WAIT UNTIL DARK with Marisa Tomei. My friend and I had waited for about an hour and a half for her and Quentin Tarantino to come out and they both did together finally. There weren't a ton of people there at that point, maybe 20 or so. Marisa came out first and walked past and I said "Miss Tomei, can I have please have your autograph? You were wonderful!" She stoped dead in her tracks and slowly turned her head back and looked at me for a second. She walked over to me and looked like she's thinking for a second than said. "No". and walks away past everyone else. Quentin was standing there completely shocked and apologized to me for her. He was very sweet. But to this day, I refer to her as the rudest person I've ever met.

Sheesh, that's horrible! To just flat-out say "No?" There's just no excuse for that..."I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry" is one thing. For Quentin to apologize for her, she must have really been pretty bitchy.

My worst experience was with Harriett Harris from MILLIE. She came out of the door, and I asked her to sign my program, handing her a Sharpie marker. She made a disguested pursed lips face, snatched the marker, drew a circle on my program, dropped the marker, and walked away. she didnt say anything.







stupid bitch.
