Does the cast do stage door at Once On This Island?  
Has anyone attended recently and been able to meet Hailey and Lea? 
There are loads of pics on twitter of the cast taking pics with celebs but I never seem to see any audience pics being shared.

I went to the show in December and the full cast came out except Issac. Mind you it was below freezing and everyone took their time signing/talking to fans. One of the best stage door experiences I have had.

I saw it last month and it seemed as if all the cast came out to greet the audience at the stage door.  Lea was out the day I saw the show, so I can't speak to her availability, but everyone else not only came out but spent a great deal of time interacting with those waiting.  Pictures, signatures and lots of conversations.  I would say they are some of the friendliest cast members I have ever seen at a stage door. Lots of smiles on both sides of the rope.

I saw it on the last night of the BCEFA fundraiser. They announced that 4 actors were going to each pay $1 to the fund for each autograph they signed so I figured at least those 4 would be out there. I'm guessing they got tied up backstage. Only 3 actors (and only 1 of the ones announced) came out. It was one of the calmest stage doors I've been at. There were 53 of us (because I was the last in line and they counted ??). The actors were very gracious. I enjoyed it. I didn't expect to see many of them, especially not Lea (as she was leading a backstage tour for BCEFA). After reading this thread though, I'm looking forward to when I go back though. Sounds like more might come out when they don't have other activities.

Those photos that you see of the cast and celebrities aren't take at stage door, those are backstage.

Both times I saw the show, Hailey, Isaac, and Norm didn't come out either time, but literally every other member of the cast did, including Lea. Lea seems to genuinely enjoy the experience, and was even patient enough to wait a few seconds for me to grab my backup camera since my phone decided it was going to update right there lol.

When we watched the show earlier this month we managed to get autographs (and selfies, too!) with everyone except Lea and Hailey. Hailey did come out to say hi and chat with the crowd quickly but said she had to go early so she wouldn't be signing. As for Lea maybe it's because her daughter's in town. Everyone was really genuinely nice though and took the time to talk to the crowd while signing even if it was freezing cold that night!

How has the stage door been lately? Is Merle signing since her return?

She signed after the matinee this past Saturday. She was fantastic, as was the rest of the cast.

Did Stage door last night: Merl Dandridge, Isaac Powell, Alex Newell, Cicily Daniels, Lauren Lott, David Jennings, Anna Uzele, Daniel Yearwood, Tyler Hardwick, and Darlesia Cearcy came out and signed and posed for everyone. Certainly one of the nicest casts I've ever encountered. Everyone was very chatty and playful. You could really sense that the cast has a bond with each other. Merle and Alex had a Runway walk contest- it was fierce. Everyone was so cool, thankful and down-to-earth. A good size crowd was there the stage door there too. But everyone was respectful. One lady however, acted as if she was trashed or something and was all over the place, yelling how much she loved each and every actor and how she wanted pictures with all of them and on and on and on. She had a hoarse voice but was yelling. Lol- hot mess

I was there the night of the 12th also. That lady was crazy. 40 something blonde lady screaming at the top of her lungs. I was right by her and she was saying some crazy **** to Isaac. Amazing performance that night! T. Oliver was awesome as Agwe. Love the riffs.

I was there in June, and everyone came out except Tamyra Grey and Alysha Deslorieux. It was such a wonderful stage door experience! I got to talk to Isaac and give him the gift I had for him. He loved it! I had a great time!
