Playbill requests.

I heard that as long as you send the theatre stage door a self-addressed/stamped envelope for the Playbill, they usually send one back. I am not sure about it being signed though.

Okay! I really want to request one from Once and Peter and the Starcatcher. Signed or not haha. I guess I'll go buy Playbill sized envelopes tomorrow!

Has anyone sent to these two shows? If they send back, how long does it usually take?

Loliveve, James Earl Jones's assistant is very nice. You may try and get him to take your playbill backstage. When I stagedoored, there was a guy who had some Star Wars posters he wanted signed. The assistant took them and the cynic in me wondered if he would indeed be the one signing them. Well he also took my camera and took a picture of Mr.Jones in his dressing room for me. Can't speak for the signature, but the picture was definately him. Also same day got a really good picture of Angela, who posed for me(no smile though and glasses), but I never thought I would ever get one.

I usually just go to the theatre and ask for a Playbill when I'm in the city. Sometimes mailing an envelope can get "lost".

Within the past week I have received playbills from:

Peter and the Starcatcher
Stephanie J Block - Anything Goes
Angela Lansbury - The Best Man
Million Dollar Quartet
Jeremy Jordan - Newsies

These all took about 7-9 days

Most shows respond anywhere from a week to a couple of months. I sent to How to Succeed last August, and saw that the chance of getting a response was very slim, but in November I looked in the mail and I got a playbill signed by Daniel Radcliffe. So there is always hope.
