I had the same problem, TGIF! I thought I got there fairly early, but I still had all these tall people in front of me; I could hardly see. I'm 5'2, so I guess it wouldn't take much to block my view.
I had the BEST time! I got there at 8:15ish and was 6th in line - so when it came time to line up behind the barrier I was right against it, in the center. Could not ask for a better spot! I took 52 photos which I can post later, but I'm so tired I can't do it now.
It was fantastic to see the stars so close, especially since their exit ramp was right in front of me. I told Gary Beach that he was fantastic and that I loved him and he squeezed my hand and said thanks - I could've died!
I was a little upset that Roger was MIA, but later found out that he wasn't in The Producers for the matinee either so he must be sick. But I did see Richard Kind's daughter - so cute! I took their picture together.
Gary was by far the best in my opinion, but everyone was great. I was so excited to have such an awesome view for a wonderful event as this was my first time going to one of these types of shows. And the people I talked to were so great too - made the almost 3 hour wait not so bad.
Let me know if you'd like to see the photos and I'll have them up when I can.

and Jesse Tyler Ferguson who besides being amazingly funny wore a shirt that said "F is for foshizzle" which amused me greatly...Sutton wasn't there, which didn't really suprise me but did sadden me a bit...(at least it didn't rain)And this event(Although I had a great time) needs to be renamed sardines in the alley
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space
Yeah, the height thing pissed me off. I'm 5'0" but was in like the third row, so I only saw between people's heads, thank god I was so close. I was told there were so many people behind me and due to tall people I could basically see three rows behind me. I agree that there should be something for short people like me, I wouldn't have seen a thing if I wasn't so close.

did everyone get an Altar Boyz promo CD? I was the girl that WASN'T in an Altar Boyz t-shirt handing out the cds... hehe. I must've handed out 600 today...
I also have pictures from the event, more of the stars singing autographs and not of them onstage since I was way to far back. If anyone wants them I should have them ready by tonight.
Also Richard Kind was...well....kind! He had his daughter with him and she was soo cute but when I told him that I loved the Producers he imediatly said "Have you seen Rogar Bart? He's excellent!" He was like selling his co-star it was so nice.
Richard's a doll - one of the nicest guys in the business.
When I spoke to him after he appeared at Chatterbox a few weeks ago, he asked me if I had seen DRS ("Isn't it GREAT?") and raved about how great John and Norbert were.
i saw that "F is for foshizzle" shirt later on that day at Circle in the Sq! lol oh that shirt rocks!! almost as much as my C is for Crunk shirt...lol i gave an Altar Boyz sampler CD to Harvey Fierstein and he held it up for the broadway.com camera crew! yay!! that's about the highlight of my experience at Stars...lol
