Yes, but I am the only one. I mean, I am sorry, but it bothers me that you would lie to an audience full of people like that- I mean, why not just say they were signed by the cast, not stating specifically that they were signed by her. And when she's caught, she just continues to lie. I mean, I am not really bothered by the whole stamping thing (even through it's for charity), I just don't like the dishonesty of it.
Actually, people did respond to it. I just thought other people may want to know. if it's soo dead, then why are you even wasting you're time commenting >
If a signature stamp is considered a valid signature for a check (it is) then it is no more or less valid for a playbill. Consider that dressing rooms are small spaces by nature, and for BC/EFA the cast is signing literally hundreds of playbills and posters at a time. If sharpie indeed does make her nauseous then more power to her for using a stamp. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
She can use a pen. and they don't have to be signed in a small dressing room- Callan Bergmann posted pictures of the cast signing posters in the lobby. And a Stamp is not considered an autograph- Period.
If you're purchasing signed merchandise for BC/EFA, you're getting something signed en masse anyway - it's busy work for the cast to do before they need to get ready. I understand stagedooring, to an extent, because of the personal interaction with the cast- the signature has more meaning because it's linked to a specific interaction.
But this? It's not personalized. It's not even personal. It's basically a product.

Man, when I clicked on this thread I was hoping it was about Fran getting a tramp stamp. This is much less amusing.

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
Look, I know the easy and "fun" thing to do is to jump on the "Who cares?/You're not paying for an autograph/You people have nothing better to talk about" bandwagon.
But the fact is that BC/EFA is offering merchandise that isn't being labeled properly. And if this were Bernadette or Patti, you all would be freaking the f*ck out, and you know it.
