I will never forget being introduced to Hugh Jackman (3 times!) by you. There is no other human experience like live theater. Great post Broadway Sammy Rose!
Great post. Are you also a fan of Off- and Off Off Broadway? There you sometimes see future stars, as I once did. It was a one person play at Circle in The Square when it was on Bleeker Street, called "Eh", starring Dustin Hoffman before he had his big breakthrough in The Graduate. All I remember besides that "I discovered" him is that I enjoyed the show.
I saw The Fantastics in the itsy bitsy theater where it played for decades. That was special.
I also sat on the stage when I saw Equus. Yes, it was very memorable.
Thanks for sharing your stories and those photographs.
Thanks, DK! I see some Off-Broadway shows, but not a lot of Off/Off-Broadway, with the exception of community theater now and then..... As noted, I did see Scott Bakula when he was an unknown actor just starting out down at the Minetta Lane theater in Greenwich Village.
Wow! Very impressive, my friend. By the way, I had a friend named Ricky Gilman until he moved away before our teens. His mom was Gertie and dad Bernie, who took me to my first baseball game, at Yankee Stadium circa 1960.

Thanks, Patty!!! Coming from a fellow Broadway Baby like you, that means a lot!

That's great, Vic, but my "Ricky" Gilman was raised in the New England area......
