GREAT COMET - Letter contents?

[Jish]

I thought it would be interesting to start a thread where people who have received letters during the song LETTERS at Great Comet can post the content of said letters!

I will start, when I went with the family of my boyfriend his aunt got a letter from Balaga that said:

"You raise me up" 

:) Clearly they were poking fun at the fact that Groban was in the show.  Who else has gotten letters? If you can post both who gave it to you and what it said that would be great!

Letters I've gotten throughout the off-Broadway and Broadway runs include:

"You look very nice today"- Sonya

"I'll see you... in the library... with a candlestick."- Dolokov

and another one I'm trying to still find. It's my FAVORITE bit of interaction in the show.

Hi ,

I got a letter from Alex Gibson saying:

"Are you on fire? Or have you always been this hot? xoxo "

If you like reading the letters you should follow Heath Saunders on instagram! He posts every letter he writes :) His account name is feeltheheath

Heath Saunders in the ensemble makes a unique drawing and double entendre on every letter he passes out- they're documented on his Instagram.

Mine is pretty simple. Just says 'some love for you' from KC which I assume was Kennedy Caughell.

The one I got from Amber Gray when I saw it Off-Broadway was along the lines of, "I look forward to our rendezvous" with a lipstick kiss on it.

Thanks all!

I have noticed that they all are pretty clever about spreading the love on letters. Amber saw that I got a letter from Balaga on the first go-around and basically had to keep tapping on the shoulder of the person next to me to give her a letter on the second pass.

I also noticed that the same seats don't always get them - so maybe they recognize that I come too often now and avoid me specifically

You can see a lot of them by searching the hashtag #WeWriteLetters on twitter

Another question - how many do they hand out? I know there are two cycles during the song and when I have seen people hand them out they each usually hand out two letters.

So does that mean each cast member hands out 4 - or do they each only participate in one cycle (so 2 letters each)?

Two letters each. 

I've gotten one from Sonya (Brittain) that said "Helloooo beauitful!" and had a cute drawing of a cat (which I believe is a common theme with hers). I got one from Hélène (Amber Gray) too, but I can't remember what it said. I do remember there was a lipstick kiss on it, though. 

The ones that Nicholas Belton (Andrey/Bolkonsky) makes are the best imo. They're like, actual works of art. Heath's are a close second.

Sounds great - I looked at the Heath ones and they are amazing - has somebody posted pictures of the Nicholas Belton ones?

Also - if anybody wants to get really obsessive in this thread - we could start a map of seat locations where you are likely to get letters from specific cast members :)

I got this one on Pride Sunday:

Hello Gorgeous,

Love is love.

A hole is a hole.

Get it where you can!

HAPPY PRIDE!

On 6/28 I received:

"Hey Sexy!

I am woman, hear me roar!

Come roar with me!"

Signed with a heart

I received another one the first time I saw it that was fun - will have to share it when I get home and can re-read it.

Here's some that he posted on his twitter: https://twitter.com/nicholas_belton/status/819345277077389312 and https://twitter.com/nicholas_belton/status/852618354250706946.

This may be a bit of an ask, but does anyone have an extra letter they would be willing to part with?  I have seen the show twice now and still havent gotten one . Would love to have one as a memento of this production.  Thanks guys :)

Heath (feeltheheath) and Reed (reedluplau) post most/all the letters they hand out on Instagram.
(seconding the idea that a map of which actors hand out letters in certain sections of the theatre would be nice.)

Mine said "Let's drink vodka and eat borscht and make love? xo" - I'm hoping someone else knows who hands that one out, since my head was spinning for the whole show and I didn't take the time to remember who it was.

I was sitting on stage, row SA, seat 3.

Mine from an edgy ensemble guy in the front house left mezzanine read:

" I already have a father but I could use a hot daddy!"

(Was very flattered at first, then had to make peace with the fact that the world sees me as a daddy now.)
