One day, one of these will be proven wrong -- and someone's going to eat you.

Frances Sternhagen signed my "Talking Heads" Playbill after the show last year. I wasn't outside and it wasn't Broadway, but she did sign.

You should also add Christopher Siebert to the top list.

Well I suppose these are good for what to expect but I'm not sure any are true 100% of the time. If a performer doesn't feel well he may not come out after the matinee, no matter how fan friendly he or she is. Similarly, sometimes those who don't usually will suprisingly come out--that happened once w/ Sherie.

Does Chita sign and take pics after evening shows?

She did for me and those waiting on December 2nd. There were probably around 25 people waiting for about 40 minutes. She was a doll!

Chita signed for me in Nine but that may have been a Sunday matinee

Add Tim Curry to the bottom list!

I hear Gwen Verdon's spotlight signs after Chita's show, LOL!

You spell "definitely" wrong in the thread title.

Neither Shoshana Bean and Nathan Lane came out after the matinees when I was nearby, so they're not so definitely in the top list.

As far as I know, you can add AMtt Caplan to the list of those who will. he signed when I was there for a Wednesday mat.

EDIT: And by AMtt, I most certainly mean Matt.

Cary Shields will if he isn't sleeping...

In my experience, Megan Hilty, Shoshana Bean, and especially Ben Vereen don't even come out after matinees a lot of time, but if they do, they will sign.

You can add Rue McClanahan to the bottom list...she doesn't sign anytime, unless you happen to catch her coming into the show.

Ahh yes, I forgot about that. He left a few teens highly offended one day over the summer, when Matt came back out to report that Cary was sleeping.

"He's SLEEPING?! Are you kidding me??"

Oy.

God forbid he sleeps. You know, actors don't do those sorts of mundane activities.

It's funny picturing an actor asleep backstage.

And they obvious don't eat either. So sneaking out to get food before the evening show and not stagedooring is completely unacceptable.

I wish I had a job that gave me a chance to sleep through the late afternoon.

When they were in "The Producers" Matthew signed both of the times I was there (even though you have him on the "will not sign" list), but Nathan had someone hand out pre-signed Playbills.

Joanna Gleason never comes out period, though I've heard that she is just the nicest person.

Joanna came out when I saw DRS.

She very rarely comes out, but occasionally does. Let's say I've been by or around the DRS stage door...20 times...I've seen her come out twice.

I knew someone who had a DRS playbill signed by Joanna and this person was so excited to have this rare commodity and then John Lithgow had to ruin it with his signature.
