I'm seeing a musical (Dear Evan Hansen) for the 2:00 show. And i wanted to know if they stagedoor or not. 

(there is a 8:00 show later that night)

There's no one answer for this question. It differs from day to day, actor to actor. Sometimes they nap, or have rehearsals, or they're more tired than usual or they might stage door. Just go to the stage door and see what happens.

My experience is in general they do. What they do less is stagedoor after double shows. For instance I saw Waitress several times and Sara Bareilles did not stage door after a two-show day. She did however stage door between matinees.

It varies. Some actors do, some don't. Last time I saw Dear Evan Hansen, only Michael Lee Brown and Michael Park signed after the matinee. Some other matinees I've seen, no one signed, and some I've seen everyone has signed. It just depends on the day/show/actor.
