NYC babe-what did u say to idina and were did you sent it to did u send an SASE?

I sent Idina a long letter, no SASE included, to the Gershwin Theatre. If you're planning on writing anything though, I would strongly recommend including a SASE...that is, if you want something back.

Call me clueless...so do all actors receive letters if you send them to the theatre? (I've only done WICKED actors so far...)

Yes, if you send it to the proper address they will get them. Now the question if they respond or not, thats another thing. Some of them respond to everyone, some respond to selected few, some dont respond at all

I don't know if this has already been posted a millions times, but, send a SASE, it will improve your chances of a reply by a HUGE amount.

I had a very nice e-mail correspondance with Gilmer McCormick (film version of Godspell) for a while when I was in 8th/9th grade.

I'm sure even if you sent her a letter to the Marquis it would still get to her...I'm sure she hangs around there a lot, and Christian's still in the show.

I sent a letter to Ethel Merman a few weeks ago and haven't gotten anything back yet. Anyone know if she typically writes back? I included a SASE.

Ethel Merman is currently recording an album featuring covers of many of her favorite urban hip-hop vibes, and so she is unable to take the time to write back to her fans. She will soon be getting a new headshot done, and she hopes to provide support for her "sister", Janet Jackson, by "sexing up" the common wardrobe malfunction in a whole new way. Make sure your SASE is at least a 9x12!

Ethel sexing it up and doing hip hop? I don't think so. She must be in her 60's by now.

I haven't slept in 30 hours, so I'm just going to ask...you're being sarcastic, orion, right?

Sutton Foster. She's the nicest person ever!

this made me sad-my mommie said that they have ppl to sign stuff and write letters for them-shes not a theater person so i doubt she knows about broadway-onlyhollywood-does this happen?

[etoile]

Bet your mommie is real proud of your signature quote.

[NYCbabe3789]

Posted: 4/29/04 at 9:45pm

Eh...the handwriting on the signed pictures and stuff is the same as stuff I get at the stage door, if that makes you feel any better.

Hi everyone! I love sending out fan letters, it's great support! I've received responses from:

Idina Menzel (signed playbill)
Kristin Chenoweth (signed playbill)
Hugh Jackman (signed playbill)
Kerry Butler (signed headshot)
Taye Diggs (signed Wicked insert)
Harvey Fierstein (signed Edna photo)
Hugh Panaro (signed Phantom photo & letter)
Sutton Foster (signed headshot & 3 signed Millie Photos)
Joel Grey (signed playbill, signed headshot & signed postcard)
Joe Machota (signed headshot & letter)
Michael Cavanaugh (signed headshot & letter)
Marc Kudisch (signed headshot & letter)
Rob Bartlett (signed headshot & letter)
John Tartaglia (signed headshot & long letter)
Noah Racey (signed headshot & long letter)
Stephanie J. Block (signed headshot & long letter)
Susan Egan (signed headshot & 2 page letter)
Douglas Sills (signed photo & personal phone call)

*On all of my fan letters, I put my contact info. at the top (i.e. Address, phone numbers, etc.), because you never know...but one night, Douglas Sills called my cell phone and answered my questions, instead of writing back a letter. Very nice of him.

I was just curious to see what would happen if I addressed my letters to "The Entire Cast and Crew of..." and all 5 shows I wrote to, have written back:

Avenue Q (cast & crew signed playbill & cast photo)
Thoroughly Modern Millie (cast & crew signed playbill)
Little Shop of Horrors (cast & crew signed playbill)
Hairspray (cast & crew signed playbill)
Wicked (playbill signed by Idina, Joel, Carole, Kristin, & Norbert)

"I haven't slept in 30 hours, so I'm just going to ask...you're being sarcastic, orion, right?"

Sarcastic? No, not at all. I honestly don't think Ethel Merman would be doing a hip hop cd. I think krisjoseph was joking.

Me on TV-did you include a SASE with all of your letters? Or only some? If so, which ones?

Perhaps now is the time to send a note to John Wilkes Booth, inform him he is finally getting good reviews
