I am attending the July 19th Broadway in Bryant Park event and was wondering if there was a way to meet the performers after the event?

You can, but you have to be quick. After the performance, on the left side of the stage, there are tents were the casts of the different shows wait. When their performance is over they go down the steps and through the tent area. You can meet them at the end. There are barricades but those are only to block us from the tent area. I myself met most of the cast of American Idiot and some of South Pacific!

thanks for the info! I wanna meet the casts of Wicked/Ghost and Memphis! So should I just go there after then? Or should I wait there during the performance as well?

Well, when the cast is done performing they leave the venue. They do not stay the whole show. If Wicked was the first show, that cast would leave first. You have to wait near the gate right after the performance. When I was went last year I would say a respectable group of people were waiting. (50-75?) I hope you can meet your casts and have a great experience!

So, what are these performances like? What might War Horse do, for instance?

I was wondering that as well. I am really looking forward for Chaplin!, Rebecca, and A Christmas Story to perform. To my knowledge this is the first time shows that are soon to open will be performing! They have lost some booking though. I'm wondering if they are going to fill them or leave them empty.
