Hi!
I have tickets to see It's Only a Play and was wondering what my chances are of meeting Rupert Grint. What's the best way to go about doing so? Any help or info on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

When I went early in previews, he came out and signed and posed for photos, but only for the people in the front of the barricades (he didn't go around to the sides). I don't know if it's changed since then, but I've heard from other people that he still comes out. I'd say when curtain call is over, quickly but politely make your way outside the theatre to try to nab a spot at the front of the barricade.

If you are able to meet him, whatever you do, don't shout "Hey look, it's the Grint who stole Christmas". I heard he really hates that.

I heard from a friend who attended recently that when they went to the stage door, Rupert did not sign or take pictures due to Broadway Cares. I'm not sure if anyone else can confirm this.

Rupert didn't sign or take pictures on Saturday night because of Broadway Cares. He left very quickly to a car that was waiting for him.

Didn't anyone tell him the stage door isn't about signing, but the opportunity for people to tell him how much they enjoyed and appreciated his performance?!

Has anyone tried Stage Dooring recently? Is Rupert signing/taking pictures? I heard he stopped due to Broadway Cares. Does anyone know the end date for collection?

@Monty12112 Yes, Rupert is coming out the stage door and signing autographs/taking pictures. The cast no longer mentions BC/EFA after the performance, and hasn't been for the past couple of weeks. Matthew Broderick and Micah Stock also come out regularly, and Megan Mullally (in a rare stage door appearance) came out after the 12/20 performance.
