At 7:15 this evening, as we were having pizza across from the Tarzan stage door, I spotted Jonathan Pryce walking from Dean and DeLuca's into the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stage door.
Soon after that Tony Roberts walked past us.

I got to see Marsha Mason at the now gone JRs after the 2004 Tony Awards. I was so star struck.
I also saw Carolee Carmello after a Mamma Mia performance backstage.
And
John Tartaglia when my friend and I were chatting with the Doorman at the Golden Theatre.
All were wonderful!

Posted: 6/2/06 at 12:31pmI also did see Norbert and Michelle walking into the DRS stage door. About half an hour later, Michelle came out and started walking to Wicked (at least, I assume that's where it was... it was a Saturday afternoon and the Wicked matinee is an hour later than DRS's).

Posted: 6/2/06 at 3:02pmOn Jan 8th My mom and I were haveing a fight about where we wanted to go next, so I was in a bad mood. We were walking to the subway and this girl runs into me and I start going off about people needing to watch where they were going. I look up and the girl was Shoshana Bean. Needless to say I felt really bad.

Posted: 6/3/06 at 6:44pmHe was so nice that night. I was able to talk to him for a while about Q after that. He actually waited much longer for Michael and they hung around a bit.

I live in LA.. so i see a lot of B C Dand even E celebrities.
Sorry to bump this thread up but may I ask who your B , c, d and E ones are ?? . . I have often wondered . As i live in England I have no idea just how famous someone is out there.
Now getting back on Topic , I'm not sure I walked passed Adam Garcia a few weeks back in Oxford street London. It was just before casting had been announced for wicked, which is now making me think it was him. I remember saying to my mate at the time , "that guy really looks Like Adam Garcia" She didn't have clue who I was talking about at first, until I said "Coyote", and she was like . . "Oh yeah he does doesn't he"! (*rolls eyes*) . I still have no idea if it was him or not ..

I saw Anthony Rapp when I was in NYC dropping my brother off at this meeting and I was walking up 11th avenue and I was like "OMG! That's Anthony Rapp!" He was talking to this guy in a parking garage, so I didn't want to go up to him, so I just kinda stood there to see if it really was him and then he went into the parking garage and I was like "Wow. I just saw Anthony Rapp". :o)
and I don't know if this counts or not but Dee Snyder (from twisted sister) is my neightbor, so i see him all the time.

Posted: 7/31/06 at 1:33pmI almost forgot! On some random friday a few months ago, i was waiting for the results of the Wicked lottery when Norbert Leo Butz came running through the crowd, into the Gershwin, and then up the stairs to the right! Obviously visiting Michelle before the show. He was also at her last show with his daughters.

haha these are great.
Wickedone2- I adore Melissa John Heart! She seems so nice. My friend knows someone who's Melissa's cousin I think. I went to her apartment once and there was a picture of her on her fridge with someone else. It was cool.

Posted: 8/4/06 at 8:27amLast Wednesday, I saw Tina Maddigan outside the Marquis Theater around the Drowsy Chaperone lottery time. I then saw her after the show, standing outside waiting for friends and then at the stage door. Donna Murphy was also there and went backstage through the stage door.
