Ricky Martin/Evita stage door is better than before

I saw Evita last Thursday and basically agree with the consensus that this is an uninspired revival. The stage door, however, was much calmer than I thought it would be. I was sitting on the aisle in the back, left as soon as the curtain call was over, and there were only about 15 people at the barricades. Ricky Martin came out less than 5 minutes after the show was over, signed for everyone and took a few photos, then left before any crowd built up. I think I might have been the only person at the barricades who actually saw the show.

Elena Roger came out about 10 minutes later (she looks completely different than onstage), they made the announcement Ricky Martin had left, and almost all of the fans dispersed and the barricades came down.
