Me Being Spontaneous and Meeting Alexandra Silber

I am not a spontaneous person. But recently I decided I needed to be. So one Saturday I entered into a magical thing called Broadway Lotto. All I could think of was I probably will not win, well I was very wrong. I won, and I called my best friend up and we headed to the Winter Garden Theater, to see School of Rock. (By the way amazing!)

I figured why not stage door one of my favorite shows because we were right there. (A first for me.) Well after the show we headed down the street to one Broadway Theater to the wonderful outstanding Fiddler on the Roof. I was freaking out the whole time waiting for the cast to come out. (ohmygodthisishappeningthisisreallyhappening)I had one of my playbills in hand ready for the cast to sign it.

One by one, they came out, said hello and signed my playbill. I had gotten everyone but one person. Alexandra Silber. She came out of the stage door looking absolutely fabulous and full of energy, ready for "Act Three".  She came straight over and thanked me, little me for waiting for her in the cold. I told her how I could not wait to read After Anatevka, an introduction later, she told me a really short story that went as followed:

I was on amazon the other day and I see the recommendations, and they recommended my book to me.

In my head I had this who thing ready to say to her but I was so excited that I was meeting THEE Alexandra Silber,(ohmygodtheresheisbecoolbecool) an amazingly talented human that I never got a chance to tell her it. 

Thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being so full of life. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and to others. You are really truly an amazing talent human being. Thank you. A million times thank you.

New Challenge/Goal: Go back to see Fiddler, because it's AMAZING (seeing it two times is not enough for me), and I am IN-LOVE with it. Tell Al Sliber how amazing she is and thank her for everything. 

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!
