Stage Door Experiences - What's That All About? — Page 3

Patti has come out and signed at Sweeney. My sis and I saw it in January, and she signed for everyone and even took pictures (that one is on my wall!) She was definitely more rushed and less friendly than the rest of the cast, but she was certainly polite and caring.

Michael, Manoel, and Lauren were extremely nice. Michael chatted with me about Tommy (I was in the very first amateur production). Lauren chatted with my sis, Johanna, about the coincidence of her name and the fact that she is a music major studying....cello.

Phantour . . . that's funny! I will have to tell my aunt that one! We have tickets to POTO for next week and my father has a friend who is really good friends with Howard McGillan so we are getting to go backstage and my aunt keeps saying "I don't want to, how awkward, what will we say, etc" and then moves on to, "and then you guys will want to do that stage door thing, isn't that embarassing, who wants to do that, etc". She really does like going to see the shows, just doesn't like the other fun stuff we want to do after the show! I told her tough on this one. We are going backstage--who in their right mind would pass that up?!--and we are doing "the stage door thing" as she puts it. Maybe your story will cheer her up!

I was there at the end of May on a Tuesday night and it wasn't bad at all. However with the Tonys over, it could be a very different story.
