Also hoping to gte some autographs when I got to Sweeney in Feb.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
I have a signed picture of Raul Esparza, a signed headshot of Jaclyn Neidenthal, and a Wicked tour playbill that was signed by David Garrison, Kendra Kassebaum, and Logan Lipton. My mom had David and Logan like...sign on ads, which still pisses me off.
I'm planning to send mail to Manoel Felciano, Michael Cerveris, Patti Lupone, Michael Ball, and others...LOL, I want more stuff! I'm amateur with my two little pictures and my Playbill compared to the rest of you guys!
Here's my list. Most of them are on playbills, with but one photo, and a few other things. There's no specific order to them.
EDIT: I forgot some, and I realized that I can't laugh at chenofan.

Don't be too jealous. The only ones I actually met were Anthony Rapp, Wilson J, and Adam Pascal (who were all lovely). The others were pre-signed ont he CD booklet because they had already left.

A few years ago, I went to watch the Broadway softball games with my friends. We walked over to where Wicked was playing ball (my two friends are diehard Wicked fans) and sat down on a bench. I had a Playbill with me, just in case there was opportunity for autographs....
I'm sitting on the bench and all of a sudden a guy with an open shirt and a beard down to his belly button sits next to me. He has two blonde toddlers with him, begging to go to Chucky Cheese, and two nannies. I turn around to look at the cute kids....Al Pacino is their father, sitting 3 inches away from me on a park bench.
I was pretty much star struck and asked him (very politely) for his autograph and he obliged....and signed specifically on the Wicked Playbill because he's a big fan of the show and was there to root on the softball team.

I have Maureen McGovern's autograph on the program from the Pre-Broadway tryout of LITTLE WOMEN in North Carolina. I also have 2 Anthony Warlow autographs (not Broadway, but he is a god of musical theatre). I am working on building my collection though.
"They're eating her and then they're going to eat me. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!" -Troll 2
When I saw SWIWS I only got Idina and Marc (not that that's anything to sneeze at...). I wanted to get Mary Testa, Aaron Lohr, and Henry Stram, but they all sort of walked out like they didn't expect anyone to want their autographs. I didn't want to be a pest so I just let it be...kind of regret it though.
Oh, and it's a personal goal of mine to meet Anthony Rapp. One of my many New Year's resolutions.
"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."

avatar: me and jason gillman... in the pouring rain.
question - i'd love to get some signed headshots from some of my favorite performers...how do you go about doing that? just write them a letter asking for it? seems slightly...i don't know.
I did get my prompter signed when I saw Wicked in Hartford. I waited in the freezing cold but I got most of the cast.
"One day, is that enough for you, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that enough for you? They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more." --Waiting for Godot
