Julia Roberts Stage Door - Arrival Time?

I really want to try for a picture of Julia Roberts at the stage door Thursday night (not a photo with her - just of her) and I am not attending the show that night (I have tix for June). I understand that there is a special spot for people who saw the show that night, right? What about the rest of us -- how close can we get? Also, does any know what time she arrives at the theater since it might be less crazy then.

Thanks!

FYI.. your inquiry sounds a bit stalkerish/stalkerazzi. While you may have good intentions - I would suggest waiting until you see the show or after the show. Approaching an actor - any actor - as they are going into the theater is *usually* not a good idea...

I assure you I am not a stalker. I am a regular theater goer (and regular reader although not a poster to this board) who does not collect autographs so I have no interest in getting autographs at stage doors - but it is fun to have a photo and must actors are happy to oblige. In addition, to be as least intrusive as possible, I never ask to be in the photo, even when the actor offers. I have a nice collection of snapshots -- that's all we are talking about here. I am going to see the show in June with my husband -- who hates stage doors. Since I am seeing Festen Thursday night which is across the street from Three Days of Rain, I thought it would be a good time to try for a photo. If anyone has any useful advice about the best time and place to get a photo - I'd be happy to hear it!!!

I happened to be on my way to pick up my tix to Festen and walked by 3 days of rain as fans were waiting for stage door exits. I never saw such a scene. Both sides of the door were barred with barricades, and the opposite sidewalk was mobbed with gawkers. Extra police were needed to herd the crowd and direct traffic; as it was backed up for blocks. This play better be amazing because quite frankly the people of NY put up with enuff crap ona day to day basis...star gazing should not become a quality of life issue.

I saw the same mess after Festen the other night. I got the hell away as fast as I could.

I'm going to attempt to get an autograph after the show this weekend...hopefully it will work out!

She's not at all hard to get, just get to the front of the barricades in time.

Julia does, but you must have Playbill proof to get into the barricades. Bradley and Paul use the alley to exit the theater.

Oh, please. It's no different than Hugh Jackman or Denzel Washington.

Julia knows she's the selling point and, in my experience, she signed every Playbill possible. It's hard....give her a break. After performing for 2 1/2 hours in a very, very tough play, it's great she comes out at all.

I'm gonna guess that if you wait for Julia...you'll wind up missing Paul and Bradley.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I happened to run into Bradley while walking down 45th Street last week. Such a nice man. He took the time to have a conversation with me and was more than gracious.

I didn't take up too much of his time as I hadn't seen the show.

I see it next Saturday, after it opens. So, I'm assuming there will be no notes for either Paul or Bradley.

So, I don't know what the chance of catching them will be.
