Just a quick question. Lots of reviews lately for TLM have been saying that Sierra has been rushing through the line, not signing, etc. Is this becoming consistent or are people just coming to the show when Sierra is in a rush to be somewhere afterwards?
I think she has just been rushing down the line because she has other things that need to get done in her life. I went on Friday night and she went down the line very quickly...
When I went on Tuesday night she stage doored...I don't think Sherie did. I had a talk back and thats where Sherie was, but afterwards I'm pretty sure she went out a different door, but I saw Sierra there......

When I saw the show Sierra didn't stagedoor and left out of a different exit. Everyone was very nice. Sherie came out and was very nice and signed and posed for pictures with everyone. I liked the show too. It wasn't THAT bad.
Is there something on the ticket that says "you have also paid for Sierra to come out the stage door and pretend to be your best friend for 2 minutes"? If not...then you need to get over it. It bugs the daylights out of me that people start labeling someone RUDE because said person is in a rush to get home. The RUDE label can apply to "fans" as much as anyone else sometimes.
Ditto BroadwayBunny. No one actually knows how many performances Sierra has been "rushing"/not coming out of out the stage door. Perhaps lately she has somewhere to be after the show?

I feel that if you as an actor don't want to sign autographs/take pictures that is fine. But, I find it to be something else altogether if the actor is a bit of a dick during the whole thing. If you as an actor don't want to do it then don't do it. If your choosing to do it then you can be a bit nice during the process. Otherwise, I understand if an actor doesn't want to do it and walks right out passed the crowed or goes out another door.
I know that it isn't in their contracts that they have to sign or for that matter be nice during the process but there is something called common courtesy.

I agree winston. It isn't in their contracts to sign stuff at the stage door. If they choose to do so, they should be courteous about it. If they don't and go out another door or act like they're in a rush, I don't see the big problem.

I do find it a problem if they act like they are in a rush. Most of the time them rushing through the stage door line results in a bitchy attitude about the whole thing to begin with. They can walk right passed the crowed without anyone saying anything.
For example, I saw In The Heights on Wednesday night. Ms. Lopez walked right out and passed the crowed. Clearly because she didn't want to sign and that was okay. Mainly because her wanting to sign or not is her choice.
I would have felt pissed off if she ( not that she would do this she is too nice of a person to do this) was an ass about the whole signing process to begin with. And, did sign but was mean to everyone while doing so.

BroadwayBenny - my ticket stub actually says "Sierra Boggess will sign autographs," so I guess slipping the box office attendant that $20 was worth it. Updated On: 4/14/08 at 12:47 PM
Some people get hugs, some people get quick autographs, others get a friendly apology as she rushes out. That's what I've heard. I'm sure it varies depending on what's going on her life which I assume is quite busy, and tiring.
