Oh, good lord so many. The joys of living in New York!

I was walking to catch my train and listening to "Johanna" frm Todd and I looked next to me and Ben was standing right there. I desperately wanted to say "Hey, guess what, I'm listening to you right now!"

Frenchie Davis walking on 7th and then she went into a deli.

Barret Foa - La Cage Stage Door

John Tartaglia - WIW Stage Door

In The Same Audience With . . .

I saw Sondheim and Maria Friedman at Forbidden Broadway. It was quite hilarious seeing as they mercilessly made fun of Sondheim. He seemed to take it all in good humour though. We had an interesting conversation afterward...

I also saw Hugh Jackman wandering around with his son in the Village a while back - pretty cool!!!

Nicole Kidman outside her apartment building in NYC and John Bolton at Sardi's.

Jerry Mitchell walked right by me a few weeks ago while I was on the SRO line for Spamalot. I noticed him as he was walking through Shubert Alley and probably should have said something (like "I loved your choreography in La Cage" or something like that) but I guess I was speechless because of how freaking hot he looked. Damn!

That's right!! I was outside the stage door before the Saturday evening performance of Jersey Boys in November and Liza walked out of a car and into the stage door...it was so exciting to see her up close.

Vanessa Williams was on my plane coming home from Japan! I saw her in the airport, realized it was her a few minutes later, then ran around for 10 minutes trying to find her, only to find that she was on my flight!

I was too starstruck to say anything. I smiled at her and I think I might have said hi. Good thing I didn't say "Hey, I loved your work in Johnson Family Vacation!" or something...

One girl in our group said pretty loudly, "She's not as pretty as she is on TV!" Hopefully, Ms. Williams didn't hear...

Wow, I have seen so many stars recently, on accident and on purpose! The range from sitting behind Susan Sarandon at a Rangers game, to Heidi from the Apprentice at my local diner. But most recently, I have seen the Daly family!
One night, my father and I were waiting from the Drowsy Chaperone lotto when Tyne Daly walks by under an umbrella (it was raining.) My dad screams, "THERES TYNE DALY!" and points to her, almost pointing into her hair! She was in full makeup for a show(is she in a show?) and was walking down the street with a friend I think.
About 4 or 5 days go by, and I am driving in the car. I am with my family and we drive down the street were DRS, 3 days of rain, and Ave. Q are. We are stopped at a red light and guess who walks infront of out chair, Tim (I think) daly, her son! My dad again screams, "THERES TIM DALY!" and waves furiously at him. The poor guy looks a bit scared but smiles and waves nicely back. My dad does get easily star-struck.

I've seen a ton of people around New York, and I'm sure there have been a ton that I haven't noticed.

On the streets:
Jordan Gelber
Brenda Braxton
Rob Barlett (3 times in the same day)
Oddly enough, just about every cast member of Jersey Boys

The only person I've ever seen in the audience at the same show as me were Sondheim at Sweeney and Yoko at Lennon.

Adding more to the list:
I saw Edward Hibbert right over by the Chicken Bar on 45th, as well as the entire cast of Wedding Singer in there at one point or another during the day.

Zeljko Ivanek and Michael Stuhlbarg sat in front of me at As You Like It in Central Park last year. David Hyde Pierce and his partner were at that same performance. Updated On: 5/7/06 at 07:10 PM

Well Billy Crystle sat next to me at the Odd Couple
And then the other night my friend and I were at McIndos and all the boys from The History Boys were in there and we had a few drinks with them(we talked to Andrew Knott, Jamie Parker, and James the most, about an hour and a half) but while there Nathen Lane, Matthew Broadrick, Cady Huffman, Paul Rudd, and Alen Cummings all came in. It was a full night of people
