And we chatted for about 5 minutes (literally), he was still signing other peoples, but we kept talking the whole time.

Not attacking you (it easily could have been him continuing the conversation), but this just made me think of one of my biggest stage door pet peeves. I find it extremely frustrating when the person signing is continuing to speak (usually the continuation of conversation is coming from the fan, not the actor) to someone they have already signed and have already begun to move down the line. I can’t tell the amount of times I have barely even gotten to thank someone for signing (let alone telling them how much I appreciated their performance) because a person a few before me was still talking to the actor. I often find the actor will actively try to look at me and acknowledgement my presence in those situations as it’s clear they often feel rude to the people they are signing, but feel bad at cutting the talking fan off.

I can't speak for anyone but I'd say get a life and leave the guy alone. I will stage door someone who is a favorite and will not be mauled like that, but that much adoration and interest was kinda creepy, sorry.

I stage doored tonight- was a little late getting out the theatre because I was searching for and found a Hurt Locker playbill. But was able to get a spot. It was pretty packed but I and others were passing playbills up to be signed for those who could not reach. Neil, Lena and the band signed for everyone that they could.

Hi! I had seen in photos of the SRO line recently that people were sitting in folding chairs while waiting. Does anyone have any info on this or experience with this? Is it a good idea? I wouldn't think the staff would let you bring it inside so what were people planning to do once they got SRO tickets and went in for the show?

We went on Tony day. We were very early and brought chairs with the understanding that once the box office and staff started to arrive we would run our chairs home at separate times. It is frowned upon because the side walk in front of the theater is not as wide on that side of Broadway. They have told us before that if we are doing the SRO line you must stand. So if you want to take your chances bring a chair. Just be prepared to ditch it.
