[HPFGU-Movie] Daniel Radcliffe On Broadway

[AnitaKH]

Valerie Flowe <valerie.flowe at verizon.net> lamented:                               I was talking to a co-worker about this today. Her son has written a 
 play that is on Broadway right now. She said it is highly unlikely that 
 Dan will be signing autographs behind the theatre, like he did in 
 London. I guess we Americans just aren't as well behaved as the 
 Brits?!?!?! And NYC is more of a dangerous place than London.
 Bummer!
 
akh provides a ray of hope: (eek!  that's a pun, as you'll see soon)
My friend Ray (!) was in the original cast of "The Producers" and both Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were willing to sign autographs, although they had limos waiting for them outside the front of the theatre whose drivers could rescue them if they were overwhelmed (or threatened, I would imagine).  

Warning!  Anecdote ahead:

I was highly amused when we went to see Ray in New York.  We had a pass to go to the dressing rooms and hang out with him until he was ready to leave.  We  happened to leave the theatre shortly after Matthew Broderick and just ahead of Cady Huffman (the original Ulla).  There was a gigantic crowd blocking the street in front of the theatre, and they erupted in cheers when Matthew emerged.  His limo had pulled off by the time we reached the door.  It opened, to reveal.... one of the more minor characters and two people they had never seen in their lives.  The cheers died instantly.  Fortunately for Ray, several people, after overcoming their shock, recognized him, so he signed half a dozen autographs.  Halfway down the block, we heard them erupt in cheers when Cady came out.

akh, who knows she's way behind on reading posts
