What is the deal with him showing up all over New York at every opening! I am sick and tired of seeing him in the photos of every opening. Anyone else feel that way? Updated On: 5/2/06 at 04:36 PM
I didn't realize that certain people should and shouldn't be at openings when invited. I guess you could always not click on opening night photos if you were so worried about being sick and tired.

Thats fine, I just find it hilarious that some second rate Idol hack is doing everything he can to keep his face in the limelight. Yeah good PR I guess. Why dont we get some Star Search winners up there in opening night photos as well. Geez, Constantine, like it or not, is not a star and will disappear in no time.
Craig: It's not about not showing up where invited. There's no need to get all righteous, that's not what the issue is. And I use the word "issue" very loosely.
One must admit, however, that when a "celebrity" (in any form of the word) starts appearing at virtually every Broadway opening, there will be some sort of speculation about why that individual is at so many Broadway events, especially when their ties to theatre are slim to none to begin with.
And I don't think it's that Constantine is trying to get his face out there as much as possible - if that were the case, he would be all over movie premiers, not Broadway opening nights, espcially since the majority of America has absolutely no interest in theatre, let alone Broadway opening night pictures.
It has crossed my mind - starting with the RENT concert, why is this man at every Broadway opening? Is it just that he loves theatre and happens to be in town, or is it that he's planning on coming to Broadway at some point?
Speculation on this is totally fair, whether you like him or not.

Firescape, be honest here. How much attention (other than on this website) does anyone really get for showing up at a Broadway show? Maybe he actually likes Broadways shows--wouldn't that be disgusting?

He was in the tour of Rent so he was a part of Rent 10- he probably decided to go to some openings since he's in town anyway- I don't blame him, I'd go too if I had the chance.
Thank you Munk. You actually got my intention behind all of this! Very good. Also, I think it would be absurd to gain attention this way. That is why I was speculating. It is true that my original thought was tha tit was odd that we were seeing him all of a sudden. I dont get it. I think something is going on.
I didn't realize attending a few openings equaled "virtually every Broadway opening". He was in town for the RENT anniversary and it happened to be at a time when a few shows were opening. He went to school for theater and has done theater, so why is it so strange for him to be at some openings that were taking place while he was in town?
I don't think there's anything to it. He was in town for Rent 10, then hit a couple of other openings because he was in town and could. I'm not bothered by his presence so much as I am by the obnoxious face he makes, you know the one where he pulls his glasses down a little and pouts his lips at the camera.
It's not a question of being righteous. It's was my response to the tone of the original post. If seeing someone's photo in (what is it) 3 photo coverages makes someone "sick and tired" - well, that just strikes me as unfortunate.
