Honestly when I was at the stage door only Rupert, Christine, and Angela signed, everyone else bolted and said no to those who asked. The only logic I could figure beside them being the non-stage door kind of actors, is that Angela can come out faster and leave faster.
I am also surprised by the many passer by's or just Angela fans at 11:12 PM also waiting. Would you say that large of a crowd would happen after every evening show?

I was there last saturday and it was mobbed. The location of the stagedoor is PERFECT however for such a large crowd. Yes, only Christina, Angela, and Rupert signed everyone else BOLTED, and Jayne never left through the door which is a little sad because she gave the best performance of the evening.

At about what time does Angela come out?

when I saw it she was the last person, as I will assume in most cases. From when the curtain closed to her coming out of the stage door, 15-25 minutes. But of course worth it.

This is sad to hear. I am a huge Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy fan and Simon Jones originated the role of the lead character Arthur Dent, during the story's first phase as radio comedy on the BBC Radio. It would have been nice to get his autograph.

Jayne came out after the matinee and was quite gracious to those who spoke with her. There was a sizeable crowd after the evening performance and I spoke briefly with Rupert -- quite charming and drop-dead gorgeous. He reminded me of some of the more flattering portraits of Lord Byron.

I passed by the theatre yesterday afternoon and saw Simon Jones signing and chatting with folks at the stage door, so I guess it depends on what they're feeling on the day you go.

Also lets remember they are still rehearsing during the day while they are in previews so it ends up being very long days... once the show has opened things may be different!
Have a great opening Blithe Spirit!

Christine came out the afternoon I went. I got tired of waiting and figured Angela wouldn't come out so I just wrote her a letter saying how much I enjoyed her performance instead. I'm sure evenings are different.

When I went the guards insisting Angela would only sign Blithe Spirit playbills and that we could take photos but that she would not pose.
I'm not complaining, but has anyone ever seen something else happen? Is it just how she was feeling that day? If I get to see the show again I might stage door it again, but not if this is invariable.
By the way, she was lovely to all who came out. This is last Tuesday 3/31. Deborah Rush and Rupert Everett also signed, but the rest of the cast were no-shows.
There was a heckler at the stage door who started cursing and spewing venom when he was told Angela would not sign something for him and/or take a picture. It was ugly, and terrible to see her subjected to that. After that no one else emerged.

I'm not surprised that those are the rules, for lack of better word. That stage door is usually mobbed with people waiting for Angela, and if she stopped to sign things that weren't from Blithe Spirit and posed for every photo, she'd be there all night! I believe that on nights where the crowd isn't too large, she'll pose with you if you're quick about it. There are a few posters who should be able to confirm this.

Damn...I was really hoping to get her to sign my CD of PRETTYBELLE.

^ If it's something as indiscreet as a CD she'll probably quickly sign it for you. I myself am going to mail it to her, along with a few other cast CD booklets.
When she was in Deuce I mailed her an embarrasing (well, no, because it's her and it's all brilliant stuff from her career) lot of stuff, including my DVD sleeve for "The Manchurian Candidate," and it all came back inscribed in 2 months' time. She is truly a marvel. People say "amazing" way too much, but...

Well when I was at the Next to Normal stage door also in Shubert Alley, I saw her coming out the Blithe Spirit stage door. This was after a Sat. matinee, though a couple weeks ago. It was so amazing to see her, I almost ditched the N2N stage door to run over to the other crowd to see Ms. Lansbury up close. I should have done that, lol.

Legally_Popular, Angela is 83. Yes, you should have.
My question is this, as far as the mobs of people out there to meet Angela. Why on Earth wasn't this the case with "Deuce" 2 years ago. Regardless of the fact that show was not a hit, anyone could have stage door-ed it if they had wanted to, but the crowds were quite light in comparison to the "Blithe Spirit" ones. I am surprised by it.
