Re:why i think i'd like being famous - 2007/05/13 23:46
I had a VERY similar thing happen to me. 
Well, last summer I played Tumnus in a production of Narnia The Musical in Laguna Beach, California (YES I LIVE NEAR LAGUNA BEACH - NO ONE THROW A FIT!  ). I received A LOT of positive feedback about my performance - including numerous compliments from adult actors in Laguna Beach and even a few vocal coaches from California colleges. Very exciting stuff. 
So a few months later, I was playing the role of a singer in a rock band in the West Coast Premiere of The Great Squirrel Uprising at the Laguna Playhouse, a local regional theatre company. After one show while signing autographs, a woman approached me with a whole group of little girls (probably around age seven or eight). She said excitedly, "Oh my goodness... Didn't you star as Tumnus in Narnia? You are so talented! I brought these same girls to see that one too, and you were their favorite part in both shows!" I just graciously thanked her and signed the girls' autograph books, but OH MY GOSH - THAT IS SO COOL!
It was SO flattering to be recognized, especially since I couldn't have been any less recognizable! In Narnia, I was fully equipped with Tumnus's ginormous goat-like thighs, an airbrushed beard, and my natural and wild curly hair. In the second show, I wore pleather pants and a long, straight, NEON PINK wig!
It's so great to have people compliment you in the first place, but to hear that you are their favorite and for them to recognize you... Amazing!!
