I just got back from the Martha Stewart Show taping. It was a special Earth Day episode and the entire audience was filled with people professionally devoted to green living. I was thrilled to be invited-and I scored a front row center seat. More on what Martha is really like, my many photos of Martha and the set ahead…
Front Row Center Seat! Nice.
I was seated in probably the best seat in the house. I was next to a few of the green living audience guests who were interviewed on-air by Martha. Next to me was a woman from The Rainforest Alliance. As well as an amazing nun who represented a sustainable CSA in New York called Sisters Hill Farms. Very kind, passionate and do-good people.
What is Martha Really Like?? The show was fun and the audience was not forced to do over-the-top cheesy applause, it was all natural, which is very unusual. Joey, the stage manager is such a genuine guy. And the entire staff seems incredibly detail-oriented, on-the-ball and friendly. and yes, seeing Martha in person reconfirmed my analysis that Martha Stewart is indeed the Queen of …all things. She is so poised and polished, firm and calm, yet incredibly kind and thoughtful. Love her.

Hey Kathy!
I loved your pictures! I too was at the Earth day show, I was with my friends from Columbia school of public health, we were sitting just to your right…I was wondering if you happened to have any pics with us accidently in your pictures? Our dept wants to feature us on the Columbia website but we just have a couple pics we took without us in it( we were scattered/startstruck and not thinking clearly!) Feel free to send me an email at [email protected]. Cheers! Jen
Danazia,
Martha is tricky to get confirmed tickets to..high demand. I was lucky that they were looking for a specific audience of people. (GREEN folks for Earth Day.) But from my experience stand by tickets are usually a great option. I always check out the standby crowds and I’ve never seen someone turned away at a show. But arriving early will be your best bet. And also..being in NYC or LA where shows are taped always helps. 🙂

KarmaFree,
Martha was quiet, but still friendly. I’ve attended a few TV show tapings. At The View, the ladies are all INCREDIBLY friendly and chatty. No wall there! The ladies are out in the audience chatting away each commercial segment. Martha is different, she keeps a nice wall up, but I understand. That’s just how she is, and she doesn’t try to force crowd-chat. She does a nice interactive segment at the end of the taping. I really liked her. No fakeness at all. And you know that when she liked something she REALLY liked it. She doesn’t pretend to be enthusiastic. Her passionate remarks are all genuine. Gotta love Queen Martha.

Love the inside scoop! I’m a Martha fan and secretly (well, not-so-secretly) hope to be a guest one day. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, that is so cool. I am like the hugest martha stewart fan. I think she is a great role model for women! I hope to visit her show one day.
I’m green alright! Green with envy! This is such a great kudos! Now, how did you get on there anyway?
very neat-I love Martha!!
Thanks for sharing! I was able to be at a taping last year (the “Shelter Dog” episode), it was a wonderful experience! She was great and the staff was terrific!
Martha is the best. No one can even touch her high on her thrown. Neat pics.
