Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but the search function is not working for me for whatever reason. Keeps saying Gateway timeout. Anyway, my sister, my cousins and I are all going to see Spelling Bee on Thursday. I'm wondering what the Spelling Bee stage door is like. Is there a barrier? Is it really crowded? Does everyone come out? My cousins don't really like going to stage doors but my sister and I do. I'm hoping this one is on the quiet side so they will be patient with us. If it's a mob scene they will want out real quick.

Thanks!

There is no "stage door" for Spelling Bee. They all come out of the lobby and are really nice. I've never seen more than like 10 people waiting, and everyone is scattered around the lobby until the theater people kick you out. Then you can just wait outside for them to come out.

Luckydave14, that's ALSO how they do it in Chicago... I got their autographs and the tour's cast! GO SPELLING BEE!

Thanks. I didn't realize there was no real stage door. Good to know! So just wait in the lobby until the theater people kick us out and then wait outside the front doors. Got it! Glad to hear it isn't too crowded . . . I don't think my cousins would stand for that!

Very few people wait. And when the cast comes out it is so informal since they just stand around and chat unlike most other doors where there is a baricade or tons of screaming people.

Oh thats great . . . that is my favorite kind of "stage door". I think even my cousins may enjoy that. And if not, the heck with them! :P

Just make sure you wait. Sometimes it takes them a little bit to get out...and they also try and slip out too.

I'm good at waiting, but I'm also pretty good at letting them slip out. I just have never been able to be one of those people who chase after them when they're trying to leave. If they walk right past me I will say "Sorry, I know you're trying to leave but..." but if they aren't right near me I just let them go. My sister says I'm not aggresive enough, lol.
