"War Paint" Stage Door#1
Posted: 3/12/17 at 12:41am

Hi all!

I am planning on stage door-ing "War Paint" after a performance, and was curious as to if Patti comes out and signs for fans? Also, I plan on bringing along my "Sweeney Todd" playbill, and was curious, for those who have met Patti, if she wouldn't mind signing it as well? I don't know her stance on signing playbills from her other performances. Thank you guys! :)

Have a great day!

Not the same, but when I saw the show in Chicago, Patti and Christine both left out a separate door than all the other actors and went straight into their cars without signing anything or greeting anyone. This could be different given the different setup at the Nederlander, though! The Goodman had a much more convenient "escape route," so to speak.

Thank you for the info! Fingers crossed they won't "escape"! ;p

Have a great night. :)

Not a personal experience, but a friend posted a photo she took with Patti at the stage door the other night, so it appears she has come out at least once.

Saw the show Thursday    Both came out and signed.  Neither wanted to talk.  Christine merely a whisper.  Patti moved very quickly.  I don't remember seeing any selfies.  Both smiled at kind comments, were  quite pleasant and appreciative.  It all went very quickly.     The weather was rather cool but not the arctic wind and temps that took over the next day.   They would have been crazy to have signed that night and doubt that they did.  

Window cards were not for sale.  Told they would be in next week.

When I stage-doored after Patti and Mandy's show, Patti signed the apple that had been tossed to me in "Gypsy." She's been hit-or-miss miss both in terms of whether she comes out and how much she wants to interact. She straight-up yelled at me when I SDed her after "Gypsy" at City Center when I tried to take a picture of her signing.

I have nightmares to this day.
