I'm sure this has been addressed before so I apologize in advance for cluttering up the boards, but can anyone tell me how crowded the stage door is for "Promises, Promises"?

CROWDED BEYOND BELIEF. 300 people or more were there when I went. Good luck. RUN to stage door, not everyone gets signed due to the flood of people.

I heard from a friend who saw the show that the stage door was, in her woods, "a complete zoo."

Yeah def one of the most insane stage doors I've ever seen. When I went in early May, people were pushing and shoving and because of it, I was pushed from right up front to back a few rows. Insane people, a lot of whom brought Will & Grace stuff for Sean to sign. Also you can't take flash pictures of Kristin, I think bc she gets migraines. But yeah, run or don't bother.

I stage doored last night, and it was pretty insane. I went to the show, and left just as the title song ended, and there were already a good 40 people there, but I managed to sneak up to the front of the barricades. WHen the show let out, it was pure insanity. All the cast came out and signed but didn't pose for pictures. Kristin and Sean stuck around for a while and signed for as many people as they could

Totally crazy. Picture eager Moms behind you shoving Playbills in the back of your head. Pushing. Total insanity. Tip: the cop on duty keeps moving the barricades so if you start out up at the barricade you could end up losing your spot when he moves it. Be prepared.

Sean and Kristin are super nice and will engage in small talk. They make a real effort to sign for everyone.

Interesting. I went at the end of May and it wasn't bad at all. Unless because Kristin was out and it was a Wednesday night that makes a difference. But, I know I'm one of the few who actually cared about everyone who came out and signed and not just Sean.

when i went it was pretty crazy too. kristin took FOR.EVER. to come out but it was totally worth it. she was so gracious and appreciative to every single person she signed for. as was sean hayes as well. no one was rude or pushy though, everyone was nice and chatty with one another, which is not always the case obviously. but i agree, once the curtain falls, make a bee line for the stagedoor if you want a chance of getting a good spot

I went to the show on Monday 6/7. The show usually doesn't perform on Mondays so I think it helped the crowd. I was in the front row so it took a while to get out of the theatre and to the stage door...but still got a good spot against the barricade...Sean came out quickly and quickly signed for everyone. He didn't stop for any photos...he was obviously in a hurry...seeing as he was hosting a major awards show in a week...I didn't blame him. He signed both my windowcard and program. I didn't see any Will & Grace stuff...Kristin came out later and signed for everyone as well...and engaged in conversation with everyone. Katie Finneran came out at the door and a few people asked for her to sign, but most didn't want her to sign at all which caused her to just leave...really pissed me off that all these Jack and Glinda fanboys and girls didn't care about her...:/

How long does each person usually take? The ensemble comes out too right?

DvnMichael: Now that she has that Tony, I'm pretty sure everyone will SUDDENLY want an autograph.
