Are we (fans) talked about by Broadway performers? — Page 2

The stalkers sure are! LOL the doormen know who you are!!! I've seen the backstage antics with actors getting teased before they leave the theatre to meet their "fans."

"when the play, "Jeffrey" was off-Broadway, I wrote the lead a letter saying how much I enjoyed both the play and his performance"

Dottie that's similar to what I did with Jersey Boys. I wrote them a letter(that JLY seemed to be the only one who read it) along with my photos with JLY, Daniel, and Christian(Bobby had to go somewhere) and my article that I wrote for my high school paper and I got a postcard back a week later and when I went in April, Daniel and John reconized me from the photo(Daniel reconized me sooner than John did). I went back towards the end of May and when I put my photo of me and Christian up so that he could sign it, he looked at it and reconized it.

Muscle, to answer your question, he remembered the uniqueness of my last name. When I was being introduced to him, my acquaintance used both my first and last name.

Yankeefan, I remember when you told us that story, and then you got Schwimmer's John Hankock

Absolutely, don't doubt it at all. And as long as it's good talk, it's the best knowledge/feeling in the world. =)

Sardi's? Did you just come to us from the '70s in some sort of time machine contraption?

---

Don't get me wrong - I definitely still prefer Sardi's to the new places (I'm looking at you, Angus McIndoe), but I didn't know anyone else still did.

---

yes, they definitely do... thanks for the reminder mistress :-P

As mentioned by someone else on this thread, I've had a couple of things I've said on this board get back to me from an actor, so yes... we're at least noticed and most definitely talked about, even when we're not at their shows! Haha.

I had Cara Cooper (Wedding Singer) come up to me at stagedoor and tell me I was doing a great job of representing the front row. Hahaha.... yeah, I get a bit enthusiastic at that show. :-[

As one of them, I must concur. We're often COMPLETELY overlooked by the cast and invisible to the audience

Aw, I try not to! If I'm in the front row and the pit is right infront of me, sometimes I'll peek in and if I'm seen, say hi. LOL I just feel like I'm interrupting something if I make myself known? But I like to talk to some of the people in the orchestra if the opportunity arises - they work just as hard, IMO! :)

I don't ignore the pit! I've been both on stage and in the pit, so I don't ignore. Someone in the Wedding Singer pit aske dme if I read music, and I said yes. He then told me not to look down there, because apparently there was someone who was not doing well with their music, and played the same instruments I do. It was funny.

I've definitely been told by cast members of several shows that they've seen me in the front row. It's generally a good thin

Actors absolutely talk about fans when they are out or amongst other actors. They discuss us the same way we discuss them.

And as sweet and nice as they are to our faces, they can be just as bitchy about us when they're with friends or cast mates. Which is to be expected. They sometimes feel like they have to be nice to people everywhere they go because they don't want to get gosipped about in a chat room some where the next day. That can build up after awhile.

Not only do the Broadway performers talk about you and consider you to be their buddies, they also have a Broadway fanatic website where they spend countless hours posting things about you and how your workday was and what you are doing with your life. Get a grip people.

Ingratiating is one of my favorite verbs to perform....ONE of my favorites.
