First Date...

I'm going to take a break from the 30 blog challenge because I am going to post a "fangirling" adventure blog today!

Yesterday, Jillian and I went to NYC to see the final performance of Broadway's comedy musical, "First Date."  I am sad to see the show end, as it is a fantastic show!  For those who may not know, it starred Zachary Levi and Krysta Rodriguez.  Krysta was in NBC's Smash.  Zachary Levi was the star of the NBC show, Chuck.  He was also the voice of Flynn Rider in Tangled.

Aside from Zachary and Krysta, my favorite actor in the show is Kristoffer Cusick.  He is absolutely hysterical!  A perfect actor for his character!  His "bailout" songs from the show are always stuck in my head!

Just as we did the first time, we laughed our way through this entire show!  I am going to miss the show and the knowledge that Zachary Levi is just a train ride away!

Zachary Levi set a new standard for stage doors!  Following the show, he would come outside to sign autographs, like many broadway stars do.  What made Zachary and the cast of First Date special was Zachary would come outside dancing with music.  He would sign every autograph and then after all autographs were signed, he woud stand on one side and take pictures with EVERY person who went to the show and wanted a picture!  EVERY person!  And with every person, he had a genuine smile in the picture!  He is adorable and sooooo very sweet!!

On this final night of the show, I was lucky enough to get pictures with the entire cast, as well as autographs from them all and the creators of the show.

This night was one of my more favorite interactions with Zachary.  He was funny as always while signing autographs, and we had quite a few interactions while he was signing in the corner where we stood.  While waiting in line to have my picture taken with him, I had decided that since I already had two sweet pictures with him, that I wanted something different...a Chuck pose perhaps.  As I was turning to walk to Zac, his arm was out for me, and he called me "babe" as I walked towards him.  My mind went all fuzzy and I forgot to ask to do a Chuck pose...oh well...a third sweet picture with Zac and his genuine smile.

It might seem cheesy, but I will miss this show, and the cast.  I love finding shows where they stick with me.  It makes them so much more enjoyable.

Wish this was a "date" that never had to end...
