I'm seeing RENT at New World Stages (Stage 1) on Wednesday the 20th and I really want to go to the stage door after the show. Is there one at that stage? And if so, where is it?
The actual stage door for New World is on 49th on the other side of Worldwide Plaza. But the bottom level of New World has tons of doors leading to backstage areas, so who knows where the actors will actually be coming out from.
Best to ask a house manager when you get there.

When I saw Toxic Avenger back in '09 the cast came out of the door near the coat check area and escalators, on the same floor as the theatre. I hope that's helpful to you. :)

http://www.nwsevents.com/PDF/9-OrchLevelMap_B.pdf check out this map of new world stages it is VERY helpful. From the looks of it there are two exits for the actors to leave the backstage area so You might just have to take your chances and go to one of the two or ask an usher or house manager.
Actors tend to pour out from all over the building. There seems to be no set way to reach them. They can enter and exit from either side of the building depending on where they are going. They can also exit directly from behind the stage onto the street. They have many options-its a crapshoot. Good luck though.

Just curious - were you able to find the stage door for RENT?
Marie2, they now have someone standing at that door so you can't wait there to meet them. The best way to meet the cast is to head directly to the stage door on 49th street.
