Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From?

[yankeefan7]

Many years ago, got signed ticket stub back from Faith Prince.(Guys and Dolls)

[jazzynat]

I didn't realize you *could* send your playbills to the theatre when I did, sort of just did it on a whim, but sent mine to Vanessa Redgrave during Driving Miss Daisy and got it back personalized and signed.

Did get to meet James Earl Jones at the stage door but was told by the security that he doesn't sign. He was very nice and talked with us a bit, shook our hands.

Also received

Sutton Foster & Joel Grey (separate autographed Anything Goes Playbills)

Going to try for one from Audra McDonald next.

Hi everyone! I am new to this fan mail business so I have a few questions. I would like to send a playbill to be signed by three members of a cast. However, I would also like to send them personalized letters, thanking them for their performances. Would it be rude to send a big envelope addressed to one of the cast members (containing the playbill) and asking him to pass on the smaller envelopes inside, which contain the individual letters, to the other two cast members? And would it be rude to ask him to pass along the playbill to be signed?

I have no problem sending the letters separately, but I don't know if it'll be a good idea to separate them from the playbill since I do want that signed by all of them. But I would not want to be rude and have a cast member think that I'm treating him like a "messenger" of some kind... Also, this may be a stupid question, but how do you address them? On a first name basis? Or full name, like Dear Ms. _____? Please let me know if anyone has any answers or comments on my questions. Thanks so much!

Just heard back from Evita today. This is what I got:

"Thank you for your request for a signed Playbill.

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming number received, we are unable to keep up with the demand. Therefore, it is with regret that we tell you we are unable to fill your request.

We appreciate your interest in Evita and hope you will follow the show via our website, or better yet, come see it (if you haven't already).

Thank you for supporting live theater.

Best Regards,
The Evita Stage Management Team."

Oh well

Has anyone sent Patti LuPone mail using the address listed on the Patti and Mandy website? I sent her a picture from Evita about 5-6 weeks ago and still haven't gotten anything back.

[broadwayfreak4]

Yeah, I got a signed trading card from Jeremy Jordan less than 10 days after I asked for it.

[qmechanic]

I sent Alice Ripley a couple next to normal photos about two months ago and she sent them back autographed in about 3-4 weeks.

[jetts7]

.Rachel Potter,Brad Oscar, and Heidi Blinkenstaff signed Addams Family photos
.Caisee Levy signed Rain/Hold On photo

" Re: EVITA--

That's not that bad and its also understandable. When I sent one to Jessie Mueller for ON A CLEAR DAY, they sent me back a note asking for $30

[budfrump]

I have gotten:

A signed headshot from Andrew Rannells, Sutton Foster and Aaron Tveit and a signed Sister Act Playbill from Patina Miller!

I sent Matt Doyle, Will Swenson and Bernadette Peters some stuff last summer, but didn't get anything back This included my Into the Woods libretto!!

[loliveve]

Today I got a "Nice Work" Playbill signed by Estelle Parsons, along with a short note... kinda made my day :)

[Janos5303]

unsigned Playbill from "Nice Work" and a signed Playbill from Sister Act, took about a week

[Rainbowhigh23]

Re xoffender45 message on 5/29/12

With how badly the show is doing you should send your Playbill in again, I'm sure they'll be happy to sign it now with the hope that you would buy a ticket.

Today i got my first ever fan mail reply from the gorgeous Sierra Boggess, a little message written on the bottom of a Love Never Dies production shot :)

To budfrump-I tried ages ago (this was over ten years ago) to get something signed by Bernadette-I received a letter back asking for a donation to Broadway Cares or her animal organization (I don't think the organization is called Broadway Barks but I could be mistaken). Just so you know what may happen.

It took about a month I think.

[gstrus2]

I wrote to newsies stage manager, but they said I needed to donate $20 to get a signed playbill.

[jv92]

It seems that the most successful shows (financially speaking) are none too pleased about fan mail and autograph requests, hence the donation requests, and in the case of EVITA, bull**** letters.

I'm all for donating to Broadway Cares, but why don't non-sell out/SRO shows ask for a donation? Hmm...

[loliveve]

gstrus2- try writing a cast member and asking for one.
