So is Zac still sticking around to sign and take photos with everyone? I hope to hear good things! I won't be there until the 25th. I'll stay up till whatever hour to have him sign the window card I'm hoping to buy and take a pic! Thanks for your help!

Every night, dozens of photos show up on Twitter. I'm told he accomodates everyone.

I was at the stage-door for the matinee today. He signs for everyone first, and then asks people to form a line and he stays in one place and takes pictures with everyone in line. He very clearly said "I won't leave until I get a picture with everyone who wants one"

That's a great way to do pictures. The first time I ever saw that done was with Denzel when he did JULIUS CAESAR in '05 and I've wondered ever since why more people don't do it that way.

Was Krysta there as well?

Yes, Krysta also came out and signed and took pictures as well.

Regarding that picture-taking arrangement, I liked it too. The only other time I saw someone do it that way was with Raven in Sister Act.

I saw First Date a few weeks ago and was one of the last people to get my playbill signed, so I said to Zachary that it was so refreshing to see a "star" take the time to not only sign autographs and take pictures but to talk to each person waiting for him. He said "My job is to entertain people and make them happy. This is part of making them happy." So sweet. He is awesome.

I did the stage door a few weeks ago, everyone came out and signed. Zac and Krysta were so sweet. Zac stayed to sign and take pictures with everyone, Krysta actually jumped the baricade to take a picture with me.

Does anyone think there will be rush on Thursday, being that it is opening night?

Tickets for opening night were never on sale. I don't know about rush.

Wow! This is great news! I hadn't checked my own post for a few days and didn't realize there were several responses. This really makes my night and makes me even more excited about my trip to NYC!

Where is the stage door located for the Longacre? Is it on the side of the theatre that box office is on or the opposite side? Just wondering if it would be better to sit on the right or left side of house to beat the rush?

It's in front of the theater.

Here's a picture on Twitter of someone getting their picture taken. From what I hear, they go down the line of people waiting and sign autographs for everyone first. Then, they go back to the beginning of the line to take pictures until everyone is taken care of.

My son and I were able to get rush tickets on opening night. Zach and Krista only signed autographs that night but were extremely gracious to the crowd. It made my son's trip!

Krysta has always been very friendly on the stage door. i dont know about zach, but i hear he is one of the friendlier guys at comiccon for years.
