Scarlett Johansson Stage Door

That's strange. I saw VIEW several times and she came out after each one. I saw the first preview of CAT and she signed as well. I was hoping to go back and get a poster signed since they didn't have posters at the first preview.

What's VIWE?

2 weeks ago

She hasn't been coming out lately. I've been there 10 times in the last month to get her and haven't gotten her. She was sick a few weeks ago and was sneaking out. She was supposed to come out on Friday with Ben, but she went out the front with Prince who was there visiting her. The door man says she usually comes out 90% of the time, which has not been true lately. Ben lately has also been sneaking out a lot.

I hate when people use the phrase "sneaking" out. Nobody is sneaking. Nobody's obligated to come out the stage door, the theatre has multiple exits.

On topic: My friend wants very badly for her to sign his window card and has gone to try for it 5 times and failed each time.

I was there on 2/22 and none of the cast came out. Doorman said there was some kind of Q&A going on. Scarlett was on Jimmy Fallon that night, but it was recorded before our show.

I was staying right by the theater so I tried after the matinee on 2/23. It was drizzling and, again, nobody came out. I tried again that evening after seeing another show nearby and finally got to see Debra Monk, Emily Bergl and Ciaran Hinds. Mr. Hinds is who I was really wanting to see, so I was happy.

Scarlett was a no show that night as well. There were quite a few waiting just to see her and they were disappointed when it was announced she had already left the building. I admit that it was very cold on those dates. That could have been the reason. I didn't get Ben's autograph, but I did see him going into the theater for the matinee. However, my son was a bit disappointed that I didn't get The Black Widow's autograph.

"Scarlett sneaked out via the main door"

Is it really sneaking if you use the main door?

"I think she actually ran out, two girls in the stage door line saw her and then chased after her limo down the street."

Was she running before or after people started chasing her?

She used the main door to avoid interacting with her fans waiting for her at the stage door, hence the term sneaking.

And no she ran or shall we say walked briskly to her limo and then the girls chased the limo on the move.

What is the definition of sneaking?
I thought it was acting in a stealthy way. She sneaked out the main door to avoid her fans waiting for her at the stage door. She used stealth tactics then.

I am in the same camp as you, in the opinion that no one should feel any obligation to an autograph or anything for that matter after the show.

I didn't mind waiting I spoke to Ciaran Hinds and Debra Monk and they signed my playbill. And when told that no one else was coming out, I said thank you and walked away. Not upset whatsoever, my original post was just some info and some observations.
I am a bit of a nerdy collector of signed playbills from shows that I have enjoyed, so if i'm going to another show, I may put my Cat on a hot tin roof playbill in my bag and try again when in the area.

It would be nice if she signed but I don't hold it against her if she doesn't and don't think it means she's not "fan-friendly". Given her popularity as a film star, she is a chased by paparazzi 24/7 wherever she goes and has probably settled into a routine of getting into and out of places with as little fanfare as possible. Can't say I blame her.

Reminds me of getting Zachary Quinto's autograph after a performance of "The Glass Menagerie" at the A.R.T. He came out of the building through a side door, and when I asked him to sign a poster, he said, "Yeah, of course, but hurry, they're coming," as he looked at a group of people exiting from the main entrance, clearly headed in his direction. He was really nice and wound up taking pics/signing with those fans. But he was probably in a rush as it was a Saturday, and the matinee had just finished.

I went to the Sat matinee performance this past weekend. Broadway Cares is doing there thing again so I don't expect her coming out at all at least to sign. I don't stage door matinees so I didn't wait around. I did buy a poster signed by her and the cast for $100, I enjoyed the show a lot so it was worth it than stressing over the stage door.
