OK, I recently did the whole stage door thing for the first time. A friend was in from out of town and really wanted to get the autographs after the show, so I went along for the ride.
Actually, I kind of felt bad for the stars because the line only had like 4 people waiting. Admittedly, it was a cold night, but still only 4 people wanted to wait for an autograph. With that said, I can say that the two leads of the show were unbelievably generous to the four of us standing there and talked for over 10 minutes and ended up answer all kinds of dumb questions (are you scared flying? Was it hard memorizing the lines? etc.).
While I don't plan on doing this again any time soon, I definitely don't think this is a right. If you're lucky enough to get someone to autograph a playbill for you - good for you. If not, that's life.
