re: who have you gotten stuff back from?

[dragonlp86]

How long do you guys give it before you consider an attempt a 'failure'? I sent to Book of Mormon about two months ago and still haven't gotten anything back. I know they're busy, so it's not like I'm bothered over it (I also sent Lin-Manuel Miranda an opening night ItH Playbill during his final run, but figured it got lost in the mega snowstorm). I'm just curious.

[hhaarriissoonn]

Yeah, I sent Andrew Rannells something back in the first week of June and still nothing : I understand he is busy but he isnt Sutton or Joel status yet.

[rbvj1]

This may be off-topic or not, but I want to request a playbill for The Book of Mormon, but I also want to send letters to Andrew Rannells, Josh Gad, Nikki M. James, and Rory O'Malley as well. Should I combine the letters along with my playbill request or should I send the letters individually?

Today I got a signed picture from Dee Roscioli as Elphaba. I also got a cast signed playbill from The Addams Family with the original cast (not what I had anticipated as I was hoping for the newer cast, because I wanted one with Heidi Blickenstaff, guess I will try again in a couple of months if they don't close.)

Has Any one got anything Back From How It Succeed Without Trying??? how long do they take to send back. i want to send playbill requst....Thanks.....

[wdwfreak]

^Don't even bother sending one. As far as I know, anyone who sent a request has gotten a letter saying the demand is too great and I sent it the day after the first preview.

[azeller]

I never heard back from H2$, Anything Goes or Book of Mormon. All requests were sent during previews. I did send Sutton my playbill from AG and she signed and returned it (within 2 weeks). I ended up buying a signed playbill from H2$ during Easter Bonnet fundraising (for $50).

I have a Book of Mormon playbill signed by all of the leads (at the stage door) except for Nikki James. Has anyone had luck sending her something to be signed?

[staunchcharacter]

How responsive is LuPone? I saw her a concert with the ft.worth symphony and I'm hoping I can get it signed..

[WithoutATrace]

I dropped off a package at the Marquis stage door for Bernadette Peters on Wednesday afternoon, August 10 with two items for her to sign: the CD cover of the studio recording of SHERRY! and the playbill of LA STRADA.

I got both signed (and personalized) back in the mail today, Saturday, August 20.

Can't wait to see FOLLIES again this Wednesday evening!

[wdwfreak]

I am sending requests tomorrow to:

Patina Miller
Victoria Clark
Reeve Carney
Kerry Butler
Brooke Shields
Kelly Bishop
Adam Kantor
Nikki M. James
Mary Faber
Laura Osnes
Follies
Hair
Jan Maxwell
Elaine Paige
Danny Burstein
Jayne Houdyshell
Rock of Ages
Ashley Brown
Norbert Leo Butz
Cristy Candler


Has anyone had luck with any of them and how long did it take?

[wdwfreak]

I got a signed Memphis playbill from the principles today. Took 5 days!

[dragonlp86]

Today I got a Playbill signed by the cast of The Book of Mormon! It took a little more than two months.

[wdwfreak]

What?! I sent mine the day after the first preview and still nothing! Maybe they sent them out in bulk and just sent them out. Hopefully I get mine soon

[azeller]

Has anyone had luck sending directly to Nikki James at Book of Mormon? I have playbill signed by all of the leads except her. Would hate to lose it but if she's good about sending things back, I'd like to give it a shot.

[dragonlp86]

"What?! I sent mine the day after the first preview and still nothing! Maybe they sent them out in bulk and just sent them out. Hopefully I get mine soon."

Was this towards my comment? If so, I was actually surprised to see it in the mail today; I'd given up and thought it had gotten lost or they were too busy.

[vikescoach]

I'm new at trying to collect Broadway signatures and I have a couple of questions. I've been able to get a couple of Playbills signed by individuals that I've sent them to, but how do you go about getting cast signed playbills? Also do performers sign at the stage door before shows or only after. Thanks for any advice.

[MelissaF]

I had sent letters to How to Succeed during previews. Months later, I received the letter stating demand was too high. Much to my surprise, Today I received an authographed head shot from Daniel Radcliffe, who I had written to seperately, but sent out at the same time. I had also written to BOM during previews, and received a signed playbill within 2 weeks (and im in Toronto)...The only shows that never responded to me where Driving Miss Daisy, and Catch me if you can

[azeller]

I never got a letter from H2$ nor anything from BOM. I recently got one from Catch Me that I had requested during previews as well.

[spicegirlsaloud]

Today I had a great day for mail. I got a cast signed opening night playbill from Book of Mormon and Sierra Boggess autographed my Little Mermaid and Master Class playbills.

On Monday I received a cast signed Addams Family playbill signed by Brooke, Roger and the cast.

It has been a good month actually, I have gotten signed playbills from Sutton Foster, Priscilla, Sister Act, Rent, Shrek Tour, Rock of Ages, Hair and Love Loss and What I Wore

[hhaarriissoonn]

who did you send your letter to?

[spicegirlsaloud]

I usually do some searching and mail it to the Stage Manager by name not just "Stage Manager of ..." that way it gets to the person directly

[dragonlp86]

I actually just looked at the inside of the Playbill Book of Mormon sent me, and it's from opening night as well. That's pretty cool, I think.

Anyone had decent luck with Memphis, especially Chad and Montego? I'd like to write to them before Chad officially leaves the show for good.

ETA: And what about Follies, especially Bernadette?

[Barcelona]

I sent out requests to Anything Goes and Catch Me yesterday...hoping it gets there before it closes!

[spicegirlsaloud]

Don't want to disappoint you but Roundabout Productions (Anything Goes) does not send out cast signed playbills. They do pass on letters to individuals though. I wrote to Sutton Foster and she sent me an autographed playbill.

Also I haven't heard of anyone receiving from Catch Me If You Can at all. I sent a few months ago and am still holding out hope that they will send them before it closes

[Simon4]

I sent a letter to John McMartin c/o Anything Goes and received back my Follies OBC playbill and a lovely note in less than a week.

[wdwfreak]

I've received cast signed playbills from previous Roundabout produtions, so I'm not entirely sure that Anything Goes would be different.
