Is the only way out of the theatre the front doors, or are there other doors on the left side that open up to let everyone out? I'm worried that even if I'm one of the first people out the front door, I'll get behind everyone coming out the left side of the orchestra.

Yes, the only way out is through the front doors. If there are any left side doors (which I think there are), they do not open any of them due to the large crowds outside.

WithoutATrace, thanks for the detailed info. I'm in Row M in the Orchestra, Seat 8 -- I guess I'll have to see how fast I can get out of there! I find it weird that you basically have to run out the door to get your Playbill signed!

My seats are in Box B. How hard will it be to get from there to the exits?

mikem: from Row M, Seat 8, you are going to have to step over three people to your left (seats 2,4,6) as soon as the curtain falls for Act 2. Politely excuse yourself and walk to the back left corner of the theater. You can applaud there for curtain call and then go outside to the barricades.

cjoyce: Box B, I believe, is the box on the left of the house. This is good news for you if you want to make it to the stage door quickly. All you need to do is go down the stairs and you should be right by the doors. I would get up as soon as the curtain falls and stand on the left side of the orchestra while you applaud. Then you'll be right by the exit once curtain call is over.

"I think it is a grea thing. Only people who paid to see the shows should be able to "stage door" ...just my opinion. "

I disagree, it's not like they're giving out free gifts or something that only people who supported the show should get.

Sometimes, it's the only way a person can meet their favorite performers. But for this show, it seems to be appropraite.

WithOutATrace, I just wanted to thank you for the advice as I was successul in getting out last night from row A to get Julia's autograph after the show!! You are my hero. There were many people running up the aisle when the curtain went down so word is definitely getting out. As for the show, of the three plays I saw over the weekend it was better than Barefoot (not staying much I know) but could not compare to History Boys which was brilliant! I thought Julia was good, but Bradley in Act 1 gave the best performance of the three.

batchels: so glad you were able to meet Julia and get her autograph. She is such a wonderful human being and (IMO) is excellent in the play.

So the only doors people can exit from after the show are the ones that you come in through?

Are SRO ticket holders allowed to get her autograph, or is it just the regular seat ticket holders?

[Yankeefan007]

everyone with a ticket

SRO ticket holders will probably have the easiest time getting out there quickly. good luck!

I wonder if she would answer any fanmail sent to the theater. I was thinking about sending my Playbill since I didn't get a chance to stage door. What would be the appropriate address?

I was in the front row of the right orchestra and still got an autograph. When the curtain call was over and the curtain fell for the final time, I scooted across the front row to the left side of the theatre, and finagled my way out the doors. I was right near the front of the barricades, and all 3 players signed my playbill. Be sure you stay for the curtain call! It's only polite!

Princeton, sounds like a bit of finagling? How many people did you knock down in the process? LOL

Princeton 78, you are a good thinker. I have to sit in the center (front row). However, I might try your strategy if people move quick enough.
