Glenn Close Sunset Stage Door this weekend

So I really want to meet Ms.Close and was curious if anybody has seen the show since Thursday can tell me if she's come out Fri or Sat. Evening? I went Thursday and she did not come out, but was told by the stage door people that she normally does and to try another day. Anybody know?

I'm asking because I leave town tomorrow

The crowd at the stage door begins to form immediately after the show ends and can quickly become 5-6 rows deep from the barricade. If you're not within the first three rows of people at the barricade, you will likely have a hard time getting autographs. The fastest way to get to the stage door is to exit the theater through the doors on the 47th street side (don't go out the main doors on 7th Avenue).

There really is no way to be certain whether Ms. Close will appear after a show; she seems committed to doing it, but sometimes health concerns or other engagements prevent her from doing so. Fortunately, the security staff usually makes an announcement as to whether she will be coming out.

When I went, the entire cast came out a few at a time and all were quite friendly and happy to sign and take photos. After most of the ensemble had come and gone, the main characters started coming out (e.g., Betty, Max, and Artie). Finally, the security guys announced that Mr. Xavier and Ms. Close would sign autographs and photos of them were allowed, but selfies with them were not permitted. The two of them came out last, together, and they were quite gracious. After Ms. Close left, Mr. Xavier hung around for a while talking to the remaining people and invited them to take selfies with him.

As someone who loves going to the stage door, it shouldn't be a "waste" because she didn't sign or take pictures. Don't expect anything besides what the performers give you on stage. Anything after that, you should be thankful for. People are so damn ungrateful these days.

Knowing there was a chance that may have happened, you probably shouldn't have "wasted" an hour of your time then.

100% agree, JBroadway. It was a night that I had only 3 hours of sleep earlier. No anger at the actors. Never have...never will. I enjoyed speaking with Michael and kidding with him when I questioned why he was wearing a sport coat on that hot muggy night, while he sweated and was obviously uncomfortable. But if I could have for seen the future, I would have utilized that hour to sleep.

I 100% agree with you, n2nbaby. An actor's obligation to the audience ends when the curtain falls.

I suppose it could be considered a waste of time if the people around you at the stage door are rude and inconsiderate (which happened to me at the Sunset stage door), and it negatively affects your experience. Though in that instance, you can just leave (which I did).

I was lucky enough to meet her earlier in the run and she was very gracious with her time. I've been disappointed before, even when I have gotten the opportunity to meet and thank performers for their time- sometimes meeting your idols doesn't preserve their idyllic status. All that being said, Glenn, very public ally just got over a cold, I would assume she's trying to preserve herself for the rest of the run.

Muscle23ftl, I am the user who had only 3 hours sleep earlier. In fact during my five day/four night visit I only had 16 hours of sleep during the entire time. Yes, I need to prioritize, because i am feeling the effects now. But staying up or getting up early was not just about stage dooring. I was doing a variety of things which forced me to not get sleep. I don't know why my response to Theatrically was deleted. There was nothing nasty or mean in it. If you complained to the moderators about it, then that paints a pretty good picture of you for me. I will state again, because it has been mentioned again by another poster. REREAD my original post. There is nothing in it that states I believe an actor owes or is obligated to stage door. There is no need or desire for me to get schooled by any of you. I've known about the FACTS OF LIFE way before any one of you. Well, maybe not before Muscle.

When I saw it was deleted, I thought maybe you deleted it because you realized it was rude (it was) but I guess that isn't a thing. Again, this is coming from someone who LOVES the stage door experience, you were clearly pissed off that she wouldn't sign or take pictures. You "wasted" your time, even though I'm sure you got other signatures and interactions with other actors. This is what makes you sound like an entitled brat. I don't give a crap how old you are when you sound like a whiny twelve year old girl because someone didn't give you an autograph.

Pollyanna, out!



Ha, this is coming from the poster with the original name N2N Nate. Who was blocked by so many people for being a little sht , that he HAD to come back with another name. Bich, You know nothing of how I felt.

My name actually is not Nate, it's Charlie Murphy. Look my up on Facebook or Instagram (n2nbaby) or Twitter (n2nbaby90) if you really want to verify my identity.

You're really pulling at strings here, dude and you're making yourself look like an idiot in the process.
