Can someone tell me where the stage door is for the Vivian Beaumont theater? Thanks.

You can ask an usher to point you the right way. When you exit the theatre there's a side exit downstairs (I think it's by where the box office is). Follow the path and you'll find this glass corridor. The stage door is there.

That's correct - if you go in the "back entrance" which is downstairs you will pass it on your way in. When you leave the theatre go to the box office, make a left then go down the stairs and exit through the glass doors. Go left and before you get to the street exit you'll see a railing on the left with the stage door behind it. You'll see others gathered.

People came out fairly quickly when I was there. I actually saw Sydney Lucas go in the door with her family to get her brother - kinda cool! When I was there we all kinda lined up against the railing but when Ken Watanabe and Kelli O'Hara came out they didn't use it as a natural barrier. They just stood off to the side and signed autographs and interacted with fans.

The stage door for the Vivian Beaumont theater is trickier than others.  First, find the box office, which is downstairs to the right if you are facing the bar in the lobby.  Once you are at the box office, to the left, there is another set of stairs leading down, take that staircase.  Once you get downstairs, exit the glass doors, and the stage door is on your left.  The stage door is in-doors, sort of like in a big hallway, so if you find yourself out on the street, you have gone too far.  Hopefully that description was helpful.

I just stage doored a few weeks ago, and it was a pleasant experience.  Everyone was respectful.  Ken Watanabe, Ruthie Ann Miles, and all the other cast members, were great, they were gracious and generous with their time.  I was waiting for Kelli, but she did not come out to sign that day.  After a bit over an hour, everyone left, so I left too...  The show was great!  Have a good time!
