Here's a topic. Which Broadway actors have answered your fan mail, sending a response or an autograph or something?

Not an actor, but several years ago I got an incredibly nice and polite handwritten note from Herbert Kretzmer.

When I snail mailed Adam, he sent back a signed headshot "To Nicholas, ALL THE BEST! Adam Pascal". I remember thinking "I'm touching a piece of paper Adam's palm was on. AHHHHHHHHH"

Then Kerry O'Malley PMed me at the Sondheim.com Message Board and we talked through there. She's very computer-friendly.

Sarah Litzsinger wrote to me about 4 months later. Sutton replies to every dang person that writes to her (except for me) because she is the sweetest/coolest girl ever to hit Broadway. Updated On: 9/28/03 at 03:15 PM

Yeah, she takes a while, but if SHE got the letter, she'll respond. She's the best. :)

Ditto TheLast5Yrs on the Kerry/Sondheim.com PMing. She was very sweet. Other than that, I've never written/been written to by a Broadway performer.

If, um, Christmas/Birthday cards count... then, um, one. LOL.

I don't write to actors because I really never know what to say other than the cliche "You're super talented!" I mean, if you don't know them at all... really, what else CAN you say? I always attempt to write letters but they get very narcassistic. How much can you write about yourself... or how many questions can you really ask without it getting weird? LOL. I don't know, I just don't know how to write "fan" letters.

I snail mailed Bernadette Peters about 2 years ago, and it took about 4 months to get a response. I had asked for a signed picture, and her assistant wrote back to me, asking for a $10 donation to an animal fund. I happened to be going to Bernadette's last show of AGYG, and saw her husband putting Tiffany's bags into a silver Mercedes, and asked him if I could pop the donation and a little note into the bag, and he let me. About 3 weeks-a month later, I got a picture back (it was Bernadette's head shot at the time, 8x10 size) that read "To Christa, Love Bernadette Peters". Needless to say, I was very excited LOL

One hopes, of course, that your name is Christa.

Apparently, if that signature file is to be believed, Bernadette has changed the lyrics to "This time for ME, Christa." Is the character now Mama Christa? It has a certain ring to it!

Brilliant, DP!

Yes, as far as I know, my name IS Christa...and like I've said before, what a funny guy you are, Namo LOL
