Does anyone know if Patti Lupone ever comes out after matinee shows?

and

Does Sutton Foster leave after the Drowsy Chaperone matinee and come back to the stage door at 6:30 for the evening performance?

Thank you so much. City Saturday!

Patti Lupone never comes out after Wednesday or Saturday matinees.
I don't think you ever really know with Sutton. Sometimes she comes out the stage door, sometimes she doesn't.

I know Sutton rarely ever comes out the stage door after a show, but I meant does she ever leave after the matinee at all? Or does she stay inside the theatre like Patti?

If Sutton doesn't come out of the stage door, she must come out the regular entrance/exit of the theatre- right?

When I waited for her after a Wednesday afternoon show, the stage door guy told us that she has Physical Therapy after the show and doesn't come out. Neither does Beth Level, or Georgia.

I saw Sutton walking down 44th street after the matinee last Wednesday. Of course, she was wearing the "don't recognize me" bandana.

I think all of you people who lurk at the stage doors provide a wonderful service to other lurkers by keeping notes on who comes out what stage door and when

Aww, she looks so cute in that bandana!

What does Sutton Foster need physical therapy before? I feel so behind. I remember she broke her arm, but that was a year ago, wasn't it?

I don't think it's for any injury.

Her role is very 'physical' so I assume that's why she gets it.

You never know which door she might come out of, the Marriot Marquis building is like a maze on that side. She could come out from behind a bookcase on the 11th floor.

Or from behind the portrait of the Fat Lady...

If performers don't come out the stagedoor after the show, they don't want to sign autographs and talk to the fans at that time. Simple as that. While I don't doubt Sutton (and many others) would be nice if one were to scope out their exit and stop them there, it seems a bit strange to go against their implicit wishes.

Well if somone cares enough to go and find them to talk to them for five minutes, I really don't think they mind. Or at least they don't act as they care. They use another exit not wanting to be held up for possibly a half hour.

Like I said, I doubt they'd actually act like they care out of respect for you, but in all honesty, I think it's a safe assumption that they'd rather wouldn't deal with fans, period, if they're using a different door. Even if it's not 100% true in all cases, I think that's a respectful assumption to make as a fan. The stagedoor is known as the place for fans to meet performers after a show, not another exit. It seems a bit out of line to hunt your favorite performer down at a different place.
