Karen Ziemba wasn't too sweet to me, I mean she was sweet enough. I started crying in front of her and she just seemed very unfazed and just signed my program. Yeah Karen, kick me when I'm down!
Love her to death though, fantabulous.

Nathan Lane and Betty Buckley. They were both total sweethearts! They even took me backstage and I had a cup of coffee with both of them and we told each other secrets and our life stories for about 12 hours.
Off the top of my head, Donna Lynne Champlin (I love her weird train of thought sentences), Michael Cerveris (He kept posing with a box of cupcakes for my benefit) Patrick Wilson, John Gallagher Jr (So super siced about everything and super sweet as well) Drew Sarich (he let me try on his hat, mwah), and hmmm, Yeah, definitely Alexander Gemignani. He's not the warmest fuzziest guy ever, but he just exuded kindess and patience and a genuine willingness to converse which I haven't really come across too often.

Norbert Leo Butz! He was really nice and friendly when I saw him on tour! I felt bad though because these 40 year old drunk women before me were trying to lick him and smoking in his face...He was really funny when they went away..
gotta add to the Steve Kazee love! He was so nice and genuine and interested in what I had to say and kind with his time. It sort of threw me off because I really felt like he was really interested in chatting for a while about theater. Awesome AWESOME guy! I can't wait to see him get even more success!

Brian F. O'Byrne and Cherry Jones were both absolutely wonderful when they came out after Doubt. Talk about listening to feedback and taking an interest in what the audience came away from the show with. Both such sincere and brilliant actors, it was nice to discover how well they interacted with fans.

What is this ridiculous preoccupation with "niceness?"
And doesn't it ever occur to anyone that an actor being 'nice' to you might be ACTING?
ROFL!
Sarah Lawrence from The Phantom of The Opera Tour! I wanted autographs but was the only one standing there waiting for actors to come sign... Was kinda awkward and I was hesitant to ask people sign. I was about to leave with my family when she came up to us and started talking to us. She asked Raoul played by Greg Mills to come and show him to me and they both signed my playbill! Rebecca Judd was very nice too and stopped by to autograph as well... all the other actors just whizzed pass us.
Vanessa Redgrave was absolutely splendidly gracious at the door last night. SOOOOOO wonderful.
Tim Howar by a longshot.
the entire cast of A Chorus Line
Beth Leavel
Patrick WEtzel
Cherry Jones and Chita Rivera were both unforgettable.

Jonathan Groff and Skylar Astin. Most everyone else I meet just seems fake stage-door nice. Debra Monk seemed like a sweet lady though.

John Gallagher Jr. Hands down.
The Sweeney revival cast was very nice.
I've met Shannon Durig a couple of times and she's really nice. Tevin Campbell too. And of course I have to agree about John Gallagher. Remy Zaken and Alexandra Socha were pretty nice to me too. Remy said she liked my shoes.
James Naughton
Philip Bosco
Cherry Jones
Michael Cerveris
Brian Stokes Mitchell
The three ladies of Boy from Oz, Beth Fowler, Isabel Keating and Stephanie J. Block. I got the three of them together at the Broadway Cares flea market, and they couldn't have been sweeter. My great Uncle Joe officiated Liza and Peter's wedding (truly), and we talked about that for a moment.
currently on Broadway- the cast of Legally Blonde- very fun and down to earth.
All time nicest- Hugh Jackman and Josh Strickland

I saw the matinee performance of Rent on August 1, and Anthony Rapp came out after and stayed outside for almost an hour signing autographs and taking pictures! He didn't stop till he got to everyone it was amazing to see.
Also Jenn Gambatese and most of the All Shook Up cast when I saw them three years ago. Also most of The Color Purple cast talked and posed for pics and stuff after the show. I love them!!!
I think that a lot of the people mentioned are very nice, however Cherry Jones and Stephanie J. Block are in leagues of their own. Not only "nice" but interested in what you have to say and you leave them happy. I just don't know how else to put it. They are head and shoulders above the others.
...and Joan Collins was a big giganitc bitch.
