wow, curtaindownpuller. you managed to get two inaccurate pieces of information into such a small paragraph. In that cry-baby thread, you only fit one lie (albiet a big one) in the same space.
So to correct his post:
First, equity would not allow a rider to require stage door signings because it would complicate all kinds of rules regarding when actors are on and off the clock (overtime, etc..). So once again, your sources are very wrong.
Second, I don't even know a thing about sierra's career other than what I read on this board, but I know I've seen photos of her singing at at least 3 benefits plus chatterbox and a ton of press (in addition to her bus christening). I'm sure she has to rehearse for those events as well so unless you don't read the articles on this site, you should know this. Otherwise, don't comment on her career when you admit you know nothing about it.
As for this thread, I would encourage all fans of Broadway to please remember that the actors owe you a commited performance on stage and nothing else. Of course, it's cool when they meet you backstage (and they frequently do), but to expect it isn't really fair to them. There are nights when they have places to go or are just plain exhausted and to be critical of them on these boards for not going above and beyond on that particular night seems very unfair.
If the audience could do better, they'd be up here on stage and I'd be out there watching them. - Ethel Merman
