Hey all! I'm seeing The Little Foxes tonight, and I'm wondering what the stage door is like? Crowded, who comes out to sign, etc. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
I went on a Thursday night, and there were about 15 people around the barricade, nothing too crazy.
This is one of the most fan-friendly casts I've ever met. Every single cast member came out prepared to sign, made sure everyone was happy, took selfies, thanked the group for coming, etc. Every single one.
Laura Linney, Francesca Carpanini, and Caroline Clay were particularly lovely and approachable.
Yeah, I went last Thursday and there were around 20 people there. All the cast members come out and sign and take pics if you ask. I got pics with Cynthia, Richard Thomas and Laura Linney (who's extremely friendly and she told me playing Mary Ann in 'Tales of the City' is her favourite role ever). Michael McKean came out but left quickly (I think he had friends). A guy close to the stage door was able to get a pic before he left.
It was a very nice experience. Most of the cast came out (impressive, considering the rain), and were very friendly. Special shoutouts to Laura Linney, Charles Turner, and Francesca Carpanini for being particularly kind (Francesca held my hand, and blew me a kiss as she left).
And a not-so-special shoutout to this rude lady who kept running right up to the actors, clearly getting way too close for their comfort, and even putting her arm right around Cynthia Nixon for a selfie without even asking her.
Other than that lady, it was a very positive stage door experience!
Oh, yeah, we had a couple of men at stage door who kept putting their arms around Laura's shoulders and sliding down to her lower back. Security did a good job or brushing those arms away.
Everyone came out except Michael McKean and Michael Benz. Laura, Richard, Caroline, and Cynthia seemed to take the time to go all the way down the line. Some of the others picked a random spot and then signed a few Playbills and left. I don't mind them being in a rush since the show gets out late. It just seemed odd since it wasn't a big crowd.
