jeffrey1dog-The stage door for A Chorus Line is right on 45th street. If I remember correctly, it's to the right of the main entrance. Hope that helps!
Also, I'm going to see Cry-Baby tomorrow. The forecast is calling for rain, but I'm hoping to stage door anyway. It looks like there is an overhang by the stage door from the pictures posted in this thread, but I just wanted to make sure. Will I need an umbrella while stage dooring, or will the overhang keep me dry?

Yup. There's an overhang to keep you dry... As long as there's not tons of people there.
you should be all set!

Good Luck & lets us know how it goes.. I am going next weekend!

Wanna Be a Foster was laughing at me when he saw my sharpies at the SOUTH PACIFIC Stage door at Vivian Beaumont Theater ! and I told him...yup! I am that prepared!!!

Posted: 4/11/08 at 3:13pmYankees 1253, the stage door of the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre is to the right as you leave the theatre, not to the left. The Lunt Fontanne is the restored Globe Theatre. Its first musical after the restoration was GOLDILOCKS starring Elaine Stritch, back in 1958. I saw that production and hung around to see Elaine Stritch leave through the stage door complete with a toy poodle on a leash, as she headed across the street to a bar. There were no barricades back then.

Posted: 4/12/08 at 11:53amAlright, I have two questions. First, where is the Xanadu stage door? Second, where is the Sunday In The Park With George stage door?

Posted: 4/12/08 at 12:46pmSaturday Night Live, you can find people coming in and out of the 49th street side under the NBC/Rainbow Room marquee. It isn't exactly a stage door per say, but that is where the standby line is, and where everyone comes in the building.If I end up being wrong, than it might be the 50th street side. But, either way, it's at one of those 2 doors.

Posted: 4/12/08 at 12:54pmThe Studio 54 stage door is on 53rd street. For the Hayes stage door, when you exit the theater make a left and it's the black gate.

Studio 54's stage door is indeed halfway down 53rd Street; you can exit out the front and go around the block, or cut through the parking garage. They also open the back door after the performances, which will take you right onto 53rd--just make a left and the stage door is right there.
The Broadhurst stage door is right there next to the box office, to your right as you exit the theatre.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 3:35pmDoes anyone know where the stage door is for the Jacobs Theatre. I am seeing Country Girl on 7/10.
#45re: Where's the stage door? thread
Posted: 7/8/08 at 7:48pm
It's the alley that is on the 8th Avenue side of the Golden Theatre.
EDIT- On second thought they might be using the Julia door which is on the east side of the Jacobs. They are the gold doors. I haven't heard any stage door reports about this show though, so who knows?

Posted: 7/8/08 at 10:34pmCountry girl uses the regular stage doors. They don't use the "Julia" ones at all. I know because I was stage dooring Phantom when the cast (Sans Freeman) were coming out.

Posted: 7/28/08 at 2:02amis there a faster way to get to LB stage door instead of going out through the front door? I heard that you can get out of one of the exit doors... But which one? Right or left (facing the stage)?

I bought a book on Blurb recently that deals with this very subject:
http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/222118
It's called The Stage Door Guide. It has a lot of the tips I have seen in the Stage Door threads here, and a lot of things I never would have thought of.
It has pictures and directions to all of the Broadway stage doors.
The best part about it is that is is small enough to carry around wnen you're going to the theater.
The person who wrote this defninitely knew what they were doing, and it's been incredibly helpful to me.
By the way bwbaby42, the exit doors in the Palace near the stage door are on the left side of the auditorium.
