Can anyone name a few?? I've written to a couple actors (mainly from Phantom) and only Howard McGillin wrote me back.

I have received handwritten or typed notes from Stephen Sondheim, Tommy Tune, Julie Andrews, Tyne Daly, and Carolee Carmello, to name a few.

What is the key to getting a response. Short and sweet? An interesting question (a topic not covered in a published interview)? Has anyone noticed any trends in when they get responses?

When I was in high school and first saw PHANTOM I wrote a fan letter to Phantom actor, Tim Nolan, who wrote me back on Phantom personalized stationary as well as sent me a signed photo. Rebecca Luker and Chris Groendaal (sp?) wrote and sent pics as well. One of the actors who played Raoul sent me a christmas card.

I never wrote any other actors....

There is no 'key.' If you *just* want a response, don't write. If you want to say something sincere, just to say it with no real concern for whether or not they'll write back, just to take a moment and be appreciateive, then write them a note and say what you want to say. They appreciate it, even if they, for whatever reason, don't write back.

Kerry Butler wrote a nice note, and sent a signed picture.
But she's widely known to be one of the nicest kids in town.

For Idina and Kristin:

Gershwin Theatre
222 51st St
New York NY 10019

I never include SASE's with my letters, nor do I request them to write back. It always seems sort of selfish, when the point of your letter should be to tell them how great you think they are, not to get a response. Of course I would be thrilled to receive one, but I'm not expecting it and I'm certainly not asking for it. But hey, that's just me.

I've never written letters, but I've done the email thing (what can I say? I'm a technology junkie). I've written to Michael Cavanaugh and Adam Pascal, and had specific questions (as well as many, many compliments ) on both occasions. They both wrote really nice notes back. It took Adam almost a year, though!

I sent an email to Tovah Feldshuh after seeing "Golda's Balcony" and she wrote back a very nice note.

I recieved a very sweet letter back from Daphne Rubin Vega, with a personalized autographed headshot. Also got a letter back from Mayumi Ando of RENT. And an email back from Sebastian Arcelus.

I just wrote Michael Cavanaugh an email and he actually wrote me back the next day! OMG, I just love him so much!

Leslie Uggams and Tammy Blanchard were really sweet!

How do you people get stars' email addresses???! That's not something I would think would be a very public thing...

[ChrisLovesShows]

Posted: 3/11/04 at 8:49pm

I emailed both Brian Stokes Mitchell and Brent Barrett, getting the email addresses from their websites. I actually asked Brent questions in three separate messages, and he quite courteously wrote back each time. I never heard from Stokes, but still love him anyway.

Chuck Wagner is very sweet on his website and will answer questions that you post on the message board.

NYCBabe, A lot of actors have email addresses listed on their websites. Of course they probably aren't their personal email addresses.

my sister wrote to Eric Anthony from the Hairspray Chorus, and got a very long letter, handwritten. It was very sweet.
