BROADWAY SUCCESSES!! (Gandolfini, Irons, Lansbury, more)
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 12:36 am
Today I went to Broadway for the first time to cover a few plays. I went over to God of Carnage first. Hope Davis came out and took her time signing playbills for everyone. Marcia Gay Harden came out and she signed my 8x10 photo while showing it off to people nearby, "Oooh this is from the show Damages see", she also signed my God of Carnage playbill. I heard Marcia doesn't usually sign photos, but she signed for me. James Gandolfini came out with his family through the other exit. James signed my 8x10 and my God of Carnage playbill, he also took a picture with me.
After God of Carnage, we went to the back of Impressionism to wait for Jeremy Irons. Someone said Joan Allen left through the back. We waited a while and Jeremy Irons suddenly appeared out of nowhere about to go into a restaurant. He signed for us, but when we asked for pictures with, he politely refused, "Sorry I can't because then everyone would want one."
We crossed the street to the crowd over at the Shubert Theatre for Blithe Spirit. Rupert Everett came out and signed a ton of autographs. He kept signing and thanking everyone. I got him to sign 2 Blithe Spirit playbills. Angela Lansbury came out and she signed playbills for almost everyone. I was one of the last ones to get her on one of my playbills that Rupert Everett signed.
After we got Lansbury, we rushed over to the opening of Irena's Vow at the Walter Kerr Theatre. I got Elaine Stritch, Roger Rees, Blythe Danner, and James Naughton on index cards. Didn't wait for the end of the play.
