Hi all, well im flying over to NY on Saturday and have tickets for the following shows.
Xanadu
In The Heights (Matinee)
Legally Blonde
The Little Mermaid
Young Frankestein(Matinee)
The Colour Purple

Anyone have any advice on where the actual stage doors are at these theatres, and what are the cast like for signing.
Im desperate to meet Megan, Roger and Sutton from YF, what is the likelihood that they will come out after the matinee on Wednesday.

Many thanks for all your help.

From a very excited young man!!!!

XANADU - when you come out of the theater, make a left. It'll be a gate and there will be barricades set up.

IN THE HEIGHTS - make a left when you come out of the theater. There'll be a step up to a door that says "stage door". Wait there.

LEGALLY BLONDE - make a right coming out of the theater and curl around the block (go down 47th street). You'll see the stage door straight ahead.

THE LITTLE MERMAID: Make a right when you go out of the theater. You'll see a door plastered with a poster, and on the top it will say "Lunt Fontanne Stage Door".

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: Exit the theater on the 43rd Street side, then make a left. There'll be a big glass door that says Hilton Theater Stage Door.

THE COLOR PURPLE: When exiting the theater, make a left and curl around the block. You should see some barricades.

As for Megan/Sutton/Roger, I'm pretty sure they don't come out during matinees. Some of them use another exit if they have to go out at all. It'd be better to catch them after an evening show, if they do come out the stage door.

Have a great time!

Edited at 4:11 PM because I'm an idiot and posted all the opposite directions.

Yeah, I think YF and TCP have the correct directions. The others, it's a left when popular_elphie says right and vice-versa.

In the Heights you definitely walk out and go to the left. I don't know where you're sitting for Xanadu, but if you're sitting on stage they're going to come out the same door you do. If not, walk out and go to the left.

I've seen some of the shows that you are planning on seeing, and they are fantastic! Hope you have fun!
