just a few more than me then.......... lol i wish i lived near broadway, i'd go see all the shows, they make a huge fuss about them, more so than the west end
Patti LuPone Michael Cerveris Manoel Felciano Donna Lynne Champlin Lauren Molina Alexander Gemignani Ben Magnuson Diana DiMarzio
All were incredibly nice.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
londonbaby- Well, we're even. I'd love to see a West End show and get to fuss about them.

Kelli O'Hara ~ seriously the nicest person Donna Murphy ~ gracious, witty, wonderful Hugh Jackman ~ a guilty pleasure from head to toe and damn talented Patti LuPone ~ I love Patti. That's all there is to it
The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.
~Leonard Bernstein~
Joanna was extremely gracious. I have adored her since first buying my dvd of Into the Woods. So when I waited to see her after the show, it started pouring rain and I was the only one out there so I was allowed to stand inside backstage to meet her and Norbert. It was amazing! I didn't get to talk to them for very long but it was still very cool to meet her.

...And a lot of ensemble and swing from shows. I feel like I'm missing some, if I think of them, I'll be sure to add on :)
Edit: And there's quite a lot of Broadway people who I've been face to face with, but not exactly met, like Stephen Schwartz, Victoria Clark, Joe Montello, etc. Updated On: 2/13/06 at 04:47 PM
