I may have posted a thread like this before, I don't remember so can you please be sweethearts and help me out. (For the record, these are both evening shows)
I wish to know:
- Who generally comes out and signs after each respective show?
- Are pictures not allowed to be taken of anyone?
- Does either show have a program or poster? If so, which is the cheaper option?

I only have Lend Me A Tenor info:
For the performance I was at, Tony Shalhoub, Brooke Adams, Mary Catherine Garrison, and Jay Klaitz came out and signed for everyone. Justin Bartha also came out, but literally skipped over every other person, and seemed like he was in a rush.
From what I've heard before, Anthony LaPaglia doesn't allow pictures to be taken of him.
There is definitely a poster. I'm not sure about a program, however.

Posted: 7/26/10 at 12:03amThanks for the TENOR info...I'm going to see it Tuesday night so I wondered about it. Is the stage door a mad house?

Posted: 7/26/10 at 12:30amLaPaglia doesn't usually come out. He may come out once in a while, but most of the time after the official opening night he has not signed and left via the front door or on 46th street. The rest of the cast is great about signing. Jennifer Laura Thompson can be very quick and try to sneak off to the side so make sure you stand closer to the physical stage door. There can be over 100 people there.

Echoing what other people said about Lend Me a Tenor, Anthony LaPaglia did not want his picture taken after the show (but was very nice about it), but everyone else seemed okay with it. Not everyone comes out every time, but everyone that came out seemed very nice. Justin Bartha also seemed rushed when I saw the show, but he signed for everybody he could reach (just very quickly). There may be a lot of people waiting, as was said.
For South Pacific, everyone is also very nice, but again, not everyone will come out every time, particularly after the matinee on a two-show day. Lincoln Center is also kind of confusing because there is construction and the stage door was moved to a different place than it was when South Pacific opened. Even when South Pacific first opened, there was never a big stage door crowd -- you may be the only person waiting (which means you have all of their attention!).
Both shows have both a poster and a program.
ETA: South Pacific poster is $20; Tenor is $15 (assuming no discounts to move merchandise since the shows are closing). I would assume the program would be the same price or possibly $5 less.

I was at the matinee of South Pacific on Saturday and a good many people came out.
Laura Osnes, Loretta Ables Sayre, Eric Anderson, Skipp Sudduth, Taylor Frey (who was very nice to talk to), Laurissa Romain, Luka Kain, and Rob Gallagher. Craig Bennett came out with Loretta but wouldn't sign when asked. Andrew Samonsky came out but didn't sign. Someone said he had hit his head after curtain calls. And Danny Burnstein naps between shows we were told. Nothing was said about Paulo.
The guy selling merchendise said he's pretty sure Matthew Morrison will be back for the PBS taping.

Posted: 7/26/10 at 10:40amWas just at TENOR the other day and the windowcard was $20 (with a silver TENOR marker) and the program was $10. Didn't wait at the door though.

Thanks guys, hopefully i'll be able to beat the rush out of the theatre (since my seats are up in AA Center Orch) for Tenor.
South Pacific, i can see from what I've been told, is going to be a PAIN to get to.

When I saw South Pacific 2 Saturday matinees ago, only Laura Osnes and Loretta Ables Sayre signed.
Getting to the South Pacific stage door isn't too bad if you find it before the show.

Posted: 7/26/10 at 11:06amI normally do scope it out. The Music Box is obvious since it's right to the left of the audience entrance. i may have to ask an usher about SOUTH PACIFIC.

Oh the South Pacific stage door is easy. Once you're in the lobby head towards the box office. Walk past the box office and through the doors and down the steps. On your left will be a big mural of the original cast and on your right are glass doors. Walk through the doors and turn right. Walk for a bit and there will be red double doors on your right. There were a few 8x11 pieces of paper posted to point out the stage door.
