Who have you gotten stuff back from?

[Sherbear8081]

Just got a signed cast PRIDE playbill from Rock of Ages!

Heard back from Michael C. Hall today. Took a little less than 2 weeks.

Just got a response from Andrea Martin! I wrote her when she at the LA stop with Pippin! It took about 2 months.

If I send to Erin Davie and Emily Padgett today, do you think it will have time to get to NYC in time before the show closes?

[musicman_bwayfan]

Maxkko - where are you writing from?

[gleek4114]

If you are writing from the midwest (Chicago, Indiana, Ohio, etc.) or closer I think It will get there, but it will be close.

I got a reply from the Stage Manager of Beautiful today. They sent me an unsigned playbill along with a letter requesting a $40 donation to BCEFA for a signed playbill. They said they don't have many signed ones and a lot of requests. Luckily since sending the request 5 months ago I've seen the show and got my playbill signed by the cast at the stage door. So now I have an extra Beautiful playbill.

Hi all - apologies if this has already been mentioned in the thread.

When you send items to be signed and/or even just get a playbill. How do you address it?

I've only sent something once (to Idina Menzel) and have never heard anything back and it's been about 7 months. So just want to make sure I do it right should I want to try someone else.

Thanks, happy new year!

[gleek4114]

You can address it to the actor (stuff for them) or the Stage Manager (for a cast signed playbill).

I checked my mail today and got a cast signed playbill from Cinderella with the closing cast! Took about two weeks! I now have a playbill from Cinderella signed by every cast! Yay!!

[Jufikar]

I wrote to Idina about 7 months ago too. Haven't heard anything back either. At this point, I just want my stuff back. You have to send it to the stage door, not just the theatre--I wrote to Jenn Colella and got something back-don't know if that works!

[gleek4114]

I also have not got my stuff back from Idina. I wonder if she is just really behind (she probably gets a TON)? I have heard stories of it being a year to a year and a half to get stuff back from some performers. I've never sent to the stage door and have never had a problem.

[ampi2]

has anyone tried emma stone?

[gleek4114]

^ I have not tried her directly, but if you sent to stage management you will get a donation request.

Today I got my stuff back from Jeremy Jordan! I sent to him when he was doing Finding Neverland in Boston. I think I sent it to late because Jeremy included a short note saying: "Sorry for the late return. Mail forwarding issues..." - Jeremy. I'm so happy! I had basically given up hope. It took about 2 1/2 months.

[Bwaydreamer3]

Hey everyone! So I've been thinking about sending to Michael Mayer for a while now and I was wondering where I shoud send my stuff? The Vineyard or The Belasco? Or does it not matter at all?

[gleek4114]

Heard back from Pippin for the last time today. I asked to have Charlotte and John sign some stuff, as well as Rachel Bay Jones. Sad it's gone

[batboysings]

When would be a good time to send a letter to John Cameron Mitchell so it's ready and waiting for him at Hedwig?

[batboysings]

And does anyone have any suggestions for sending a book to Stephen Sondheim to be signed?

[v_sawyer]

@batboysings - You could send to him like a week before he starts!

[Wickedmonkey332]

I heard back from Bradley Cooper today!

[Nikeca]

I heard from him about 2 months ago and it was really nice :)) Out of curiosity: what did he tell ya? :P

[1216]

I couldn’t wait to update you on what has happened. I requested the absolute good luck money spell be cast only last Thursday. Over the weekend and Dr Gboco email: [e-mail] cast a lotto spell for me and told me to play the lotto on friday which i did i purchased a lotto ticket and won £200,000.I still can't believe my eyes it just like a dream to me.

[gleek4114]

Today I checked the mail to find a bittersweet surprise. I got a reply from Side Show! They sent me a cast signed playbill, and got most of the cast to sign my Kennedy Center playbill and got Emily and Erin to sign my La Jolla program.

[Broadwaygirl202]

gleek4114, I also got a cast signed playbill from Side Show in the mail today.

[jjohnson5]

Anyone know the policies at Cabaret, Aladdin and Gentleman's Guide for a signed playbill? I obviously will send a SASE but was curious if any required a BC/EFA donation. No problem donating, would just like to do the whole thing in one letter instead of hearing back to send again.

[Broadwaygirl202]

jjohnson5, I sent to Aladdin right after previews and they sent me a cast signed playbill, and I didn't donate. I also sent to Gentleman's Guide about 6 months ago and they also sent me a cast signed playbill and I didn't donate. I don't know if their polices have changed.
