So, I have noticed lately that whenever I am stage dooring Chicago, I have been told that a lot of the cast leave through a different door. I noticed Amra-Faye Wright come out a door next to what looked like a parking lot next to the theatre. my main question is has anyone stage doored the show lately and do Adam Pascel and Christine Pedi come out through it?

I think Amra leaves thru the lobby. Goodness knows she sure didn't come out the stage door the 3 times I saw "Chicago" last March 2012. While I don't know about Pascal and Pedi, the rest of the "Chicago" cast (usuall) does come out the stage door. I read something interesting attributed to Rocker Verastique, one of the original revival cast members. He mentioned that you should call out cast members if you want an autograph. They don't know if you want their autograph or not. You have to make it known to them. What surprises me about the stage door is how there are not numerous people waiting for an autograph or picture. Bianca Marroquin is always very gracious to her fans. from RC in Austin, Texas (visiting NYC from June 7--10, 2013)


"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

When I saw the show on April 20th, Christine Pedi came out of the regular stagedoor. I stopped her and asked if she could sign my Playbill, which she did. I complimented her on her performance and she seemed really grateful to be complimented and asked to sign. A few people standing around us realized who she was and also asked her to sign their Playbills, which she did. Paige Davis is also one to stop if you see her come out of the main door. She's incredibly nice and really gracious to everyone.

Amra surprised me by coming out the stage door, normally she leaves through different exits! Christine Pedi came out the stage door and could not have been nicer or funnier! She even invited me to go to 54 Below with her! I left after that so I am not sure if Adam came out or not.
