Seems like Lance Bass has had a bit of an attitude adjustment when meeting fans recently.
One lucky reader, Maura, had a very special meeting with the former Nsyncer, currently starring on Broadway in Hairspray, and we thought it was too sweet and had to share.
She says:
“I got to the Neil Simon Theater close to 10:30-11 AM. I was set with my gifts for Lance. Finally, at 1:45 PM (The first show started at 2), Lance arrived. Because he was in a hurry, our first meeting was relatively brief. You can see it on the video above. We didn’t have tickets to the show so we went to eat and were back by the stage door by 4 PM. At this time, we were the only ones there and the show hadn’t ended yet. It was then that a lady walked out the stage door and said, ‘Is there a Maura here?’ I was stunned. I told her it was me and she said, ‘I’m Lisa, Lance’s assistant. He wants to bring you backstage for your birthday.’ I sobbed. My sister, cousin, and mom sobbed. Lisa said she might cry. I couldn’t believe what was happening.
Lisa brought a small girl (around four years old) backstage with her father, and one of Lance’s friends. We went backstage and were literally standing on the stage waiting for Lance. People were running around with wigs that were worn in the show and we saw the whole set. It was crazy. Lance came out and talked with the small girl about none other than Zac Efron. He got a picture and came over to me. I was crying and couldn’t stop thanking him. In that moment, there were a million things I could have said, but all that I came out was, ‘This is my dream’. He laughed shyly and gave me a hug. It was incredible. I won’t include all of the details, but I managed to get the best birthday present that I could ever imagine. I met him before and after the show I had tickets to, also.
Lance did absolutely amazing in the show. I was so proud. His voice is amazing and his dancing is really improved, not that I ever had a problem with his dancing in the first place. He made me laugh, smile, and cry. I am so lucky to have experienced this, Lance seemed so comfortable and, more importantly, happy.
How people could claim that Lance is mean or ungrateful to his fans is completely out of line. Lance went out of his way to make me happy. The experience is one that I never want to forget and will be thankful for as long as I live. I have always been proud to be a fan of this amazing man, but now more than ever. It actually disgusts me that people could say such hurtful things about someone so generous and caring and thoughtful. He deserves every pint of success he has had, and deserves happiness in everything that he does. I can’t wait to see what he has in store next, and to hopefully have the pleasure of meeting him again.”
