I was interested in sending fan mail to Andy Mientus from Les Mis. I want to send a letter and get a signed head shot or picture. Do I need to provide my own picture for him to autograph? Or should he already have one?
Yes I would include your own picture for him to sign! A friend of mine sent a photo to Jessie Mueller and Sierra Boggess and got both back within a week!
Do actors DO that anymore?
One thing you need to be sure to do, however, is include a SASE.
I'm sure he has a whole stack of headshots, but they cost him money and are for professional purposes. :P
Ah... the good old days... when you got a head shot back for a fan letter... I got them from Jonathan Silverman (Broadway Bound), Scott Bakula (Romance/Romance) and Howard McGillin (Anything Goes)!
I miss letters... and head shots!
Since this has to do with fan mail, I was wondering if you sent fan mail to the theatre the star is at if they would respond, especially if they have a designated fan mail address. I want to send to Sutton Foster, and she has a designated fan mail address... would she get it if it was sent to the American Airlines Theatre?
Sending it to the theater is actually a much better choice, in my opinion. Just address it to 'Sutton Foster' followed by the name of the theater.
Generally unless you are asking for them to sign something that is free for them (playbills), I think it's a better bet to include the item in question.
