I sent at the end of October (no donation) and will let you know what I get back.
Also sent to Phantom (couldn't find anything on this thread about whether they sign or not) and In & Of Itself on the same day.

I think JLT does but I personally haven’t sent her anything so I’m not 100% sure. I wrote to James Monroe Inglehart a few days ago and will get back to you.

I know people that JLT wrote back too, and when I sent a picture to Michael Park and asked him to have her sign it too, she did, so I'm sure she would respond.

I believe all of the cast members respond to fan mail.

I've sent to Phantom and it took about 2 or 3 weeks.

Finally got a Cats response after I think around 5-7 weeks. Can't remember. I got a full cast signed playbill back with no donation, which is great since I saw the show in July and only 2 Cats stagedoored because it was a matinee
Did you send in a donation to BCEFA?
FYI to anyone who wrote to Christy Altomare last month: There seems to have been a mixup with the last batch of replies she sent out, and no one got their replies. This is according to her Twitter. Just in case you think she forgot about you, she didn't. There seems to have been a mixup with the mail, and she feels really bad
Has anyone ever gotten a response from Sherie Rene Scott? I really want to send to her before "The Portuguese Kid" closes at New York City Center. I want her to answer my questionnaire, sign my Rent sticker (which, by the way, also has Telly Leung's signature and I'm afraid that it might not come back) and sign a Playbill. I'm afraid that she won't reply and I've been really wanting to send to her. Thanks!

If you're talking to me - no I did not

If you're talking to me, no. Phantom doesn't ask for donations.

Just heard back today from Band's Visit (saw the show October 25, sent in October 28). They sent me back my unsigned Playbill (that I sent them, in the SASE I included) with a note:
"Thank you for your interest in THE BAND'S VISIT. We are very excited to bring this beautiful show to Broadway. We have received your request for a signed PLAYBILL, but unfortunately we do not have any to send you. Twice a year we will be selling signed playbills to raise money for an organization called BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS. We have enclosed an unsigned Playbill for you to enjoy. Best regards, THE BAND'S VISIT Stage Managers"
Bummed, but good to know.

So does this mean that they've run out of cast-signed Playbills? I ask this because 10086sunset said the person that told them sent a donation and got a Playbill.

I've seen the cast signed Playbill with my own eyes that my friend requested with attaching a donation. It was sent in the second week of October, right after the first couple of previews.
From the stage managers message, I guess they ran out even though it's still the collection period?

I saw it last night, and they did not do collections or sell BCEFA items. So I guess they're no longer doing them...

Just got the signed Playbill back from In & Of Itself... silver ink by Derek DelGaudio. Jury's still out on Phantom. :)

Finally heard back from Andy Mientus yesterday. It took around 6 months. Also forgot to report here but I heard back from The Book Of Mormon and Wicked three weeks ago. Both took around a week to get back to me.

Hello!! I've two things to ask today.
1. I heard from a friend that TGC has a P.O. box that you can send/recieve fanmail from and I just want to confirm this. Can anybody confirm this? (also I think he has an account on here so hi evan!)
2. I'm currently starting a sort of "quest" to send a letter to every member of the DEH cast, including understudies. Should I send photos or ask for a playbill?
Thanks

1. I sent fan-mail to The Great Comet's P.O box back in mid-September to Brittain and Scott and have not heard anything since. However, I know that mail does get delivered because Dave has talked about it a few months ago. Several cast members check the box. I don't know if this address is still active, though.
2. You should send photos. Most cast members (especially principal ones like Laura) don't send Playbills out. If you want them to sign a Playbill, you're better of buying one on eBay and sending it with a photo.
:)
DOLLY question:
Has anyone received a Bcefa Playbill recently?
Also, if I send in a check - can I just request Bette's signature?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Noah!! Yes, Great Comet has a PO box and it's checked periodically and you should ask for Playbills from the DEH cast, but also include a photo.
I heard back from Laura Dreyfuss on Wednesday. It took 13 days, definitely my fastest response. She sent back a nice note and she signed the photo that I included.

I got a signed Meteor Shower playbill in a week or so. Letter/request was mailed accompanied by a preemptive cash donation.
