I'm FINALLY going to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on Wednesday and I was just wondering how to get to the stage door. And if anyone could give me tips on how to get autographs and photos with the actors, that would be great. I've never gone to the stage door before, and I am DESPERATE to meet Sherie Rene Scott, Richard Kind, and Lucie Arnaz. Thanks for any help.

The only way to get Sherie is before the show. She arrives about 12:30ish for matinees. They're all very lovely people. Don't be afraid to ask for autographs and pictures.

Aww man. I'm going to the night show and I don't know what time I'm getting to New York that day. Oh well. At least I'll get to see her though.
Lucie and Richard sign. To get to the stage door exit through the back of the theatre on to 46th Street. Sherie signs from time to time, but she usually leaves through a different exit.
You'll love the show
Tell Kevin, the stagedoor manager, that Tennessee says "Hello!"
Yes, Lucie signs, and she is one of the sweetest people.
Sherie was not at stage door, however. But you still get to see her in the show (where she is amazing).
Have fun!
Don't give up hope - you may get lucky! I've seen Sherie at the stage door after the shows on two occasions. I also saw her coming into the theatre at 2:00 for a 3:00 matinee - if that helps.
When you're seated in the theatre and facing the stage, look over to your left. You'll see doors with a sign overhead saying 46th St. Just leave through those doors at the end of the show and turn right. You'll see the stage door just ahead.

I'm sad to say that Lucie Arnaz will be out of the show for a little while due to a bad knee injury that requires surgery. There's a note from Lucie on her website www.LucieArnaz.com. I hope she'll be recovered and back in the show very soon.

Aw, that makes me very, very sad about Lucie Arnaz. I saw her in DRS back in June and thought she was wonderful. I also got to meet her, and she was a darling. Get well soon!

Poor Lucie
Get well soon
Aww. Poor Lucie! What a great woman. She was fantastic in the show and she was just the sweetest at the stage door. I think I liked her at LEAST as much as I liked Joanna. Joanna just seemed too ... weird? ... to me. I know Muriel Eubanks isn't a real normal lady but there was something about Joanna that I liked less than Lucie, I think. Here's to her speedy recovery.

I saw it in july, and it's no problem getting to the stage door. Just go out of the side auditorium exit, and there's a clear sign that says "stage door" and there's always people by it, so it's pretty hard to miss.
When I went, I left after Norbert and Lucie came, but I don't know about the rest.

I never saw Norbert at the stage door. In all of the times I saw him perform, he never came out. Lucie is very nice about signing things. I have yet to see Richard. Keith signs. Brian signs. Sara hasn't stagedoored in any performances that I have seen. Sherie doesn't stagedoor. I'm seeing DRS again next month, or the end of this month. (After Lucie finishes recovering.) That will be my 6th time seeing the show.
I wish Lucie all the best. She really is a stage door champ!
I have to disagree with your opinion of her Muriel vs Joanna's though. Lucie plays Muriel in a more clownish way - much as you'd expect. I preferred the more charming and humerous way Joanna did it. (The show has too many clowns now.)
I agree with Mamie about Joanna.
Wiicked, there was a couple of days that Norbert didn't come out, but for the most part, he almost always did, albeit very very quickly. You may have missed him; quite a few people would.

Regarding Norbert,
When I saw the show, he came out. Very very quickly, though. I left my seat, bought a poster and a BC/EFA bracelet, and by the time I got there, he was out. Signed for everyone and took pictures, but was really rushed as he said he had to catch a train or something.
