Spring Awakening Tour - Going Backstage?

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone had been able to get backstage on the Spring Awakening tour and how they did it? I'm meant to be going in Chicago but live in London so would LOVE to meet the cast!

Thanks for any advice,
Kate

ahh ok thanks.
i just know that at some (stationary) shows, you can write to cast members and sometimes they let you backstage...

I sat onstage for the Boston leg of the tour and you can kind of see backstage when you walk to your seat.

As for actually getting a tour backstage, unless you know someone in the cast, it is not likely to happen; however, I have heard stories of people with no connection to the show getting random backstage tours (I think I heard this with Wedding Singer). Anyways, you either have to be in the right place at the right time or know someone.

I've been backstage at a national tour, but I had connections to a cast member. It will be very hard for you to get a tour unless you know someone.

The only times I've been backstage were either because I knew someone in the cast or an actor offered. I would never just ask.

The space/cramp factor depends on the show, and the venue. It can't be generalized like that.

I think the bottom line is you need to know either an actor, tour personnel, or theatre personnel to get backstage. Otherwise I'd forget about. Especially with a fan-girl heavy show like SA, the cast and the staff are probably on super high stalk alert and wouldn't be too open to unsolicited asks for tours from fans. But hey, you never know.
