West End, It seems that you believe anyone who would stand at a stage door is a crazed fan. I think the majority of theatre professionals and fans wholeheartedly disagree with you. Myself included. An actor has a choice, and they can choose not to stop and talk to fans. If they choose to go to the gates, they invite attention and should be gracious. Copping an attitude is uncalled for and frankly, rude.

O.K. so I have a question. Must the actors use the gated stage door to exit the theatre? I was always under the impression that they had a choice. Therein lies the conundrum.

I wouldn't call it an approach, since she was standing right next to me when I noticed her. If you found a celebrity standing next to you, wouldn't you be tempted to say, "Hey there Miss Celebrity?" Come on. I think the amusing part of this whole thing is the irony in entitled attitude people cite in this thread. I'm saying it runs along both sides of the gates. The Celebrities have entitled attitudes as well, and while the attitude may be warranted if they were out to dinner, I don't think i...

What I was trying to get at, was my annoyance with her attitude problem. As I said I wouldn't have been offended if she declined my request. It wasn't as if I accosted her.

The stage door is NOT the place to be if you don't want to interact with the public. In fact, the stage door tradition serves as an oppertunity TO interact with the ...

I think the actors shouldn't be forced to do the stage door, especially if they aren't in the mood. I have only gone to the stage door for a few shows, but I do have an amusing anecdote. I was at the Stage door in Schubert alley when The Pillowman was running. It took them a while to get out, as per usual, and Claire Danes shows up on the other side of the gates because she thought it would be cute to harass her boyfriend at the stage door. I noticed her, and discretely asked if she wouldn't ...

After I saw this production (it was at the tail end of previews so it may have changed) I thought that Toby was the most heroic, so I agree with those who say he is the least evil of the bunch. After reading this thread, it seems to me that all of the characters think that they are being heroic as one point or another. Toby has nothing's gonna harm you Sweeney thinks we all deserve to die Lucy roams the streets of london warning people about lovett, Lovett thinks she is protecting sweeney fro...
