How bad has the Spamalot stage door been lately?

I'm going to see Spamalot not this weekend but next. My friend is pretty much insistant about stagedooring and meeting Clay. The whole idea of seeing Clay let alone meeting him has be grinding my teeth but it is what it is. I'd like to know if anyone has any experiences with Clay. Does he sign? Pose for pictures?

If he doesn't sign or pose I could tell her beforehand and, maybe, be able skip the stage door.

I have not been there but I heard he does sign and he is friendly. I don't know about pictures.

"Does he sign? Pose for pictures? "

Yes he does, so make sure you don't lie about him to your friend.

Maybe that's something you would consider doing but it's not something I'd think of.

I admit that I have no desire to meet Clay but I wouldn't lie to her just to save myself from waiting at the stage door.

I had heard tales about how crowded the Spamalot stage door can be and I thought, if there was no hope of her meeting him, I could simply save her the disappointment of possibly being blown off.

The stage door is less crowded than it was during Clay's first run. If your friend can get to the front of the barricade, she'll have a good chance of meeting him.

We went a few weeks ago on a Friday night, and there were only a few of us at the stagedoor. But, Clay had called out that night, so that could have been why. I am sure it is busier when he is on.

I forgot to mention that it's the matinee. Does that make a difference?

It might - some actors want to rest after a matinee and don't come out to the stagedoor. But maybe Clay does - I guess it depends on the actor.

No way! Is that Santa Claus stage-dooring in the background?

All that commotion for some two bit wanna be?

"All that commotion for some two bit wanna be?"

No, that would be you. Petty, jealous, and most likely talentless wannabe who cannot stand the fact that Clay Aiken is more successful than you can ever hope to be.

Here, let me rub it in. You will never see your name up there.
