A couple nights ago a fan didn't go to the show, she just waited outside [the theater] for me to take a picture. I'm like, "Lady, you gotta buy a ticket to Chicago. This is what it's all about!" So she didn't buy a ticket, but she wanted to take a picture, so she took a picture and then called everybody: "Girl, you wouldn't believe who I just saw. Brandy!" She went crazy...and she didn't even see the show.
