Stage dooring on opening nights is hit-or-miss because sometimes the actors leave through the stage door as usual and sometimes they leave out the front exit to do press interviews and photos.
In theatres where the stage door is on a different street from the main entrance, this is an issue.
I prefer pre-show stage dooring on opening nights at the main entrance, because you get some of the actors making their red carpet entrances, as well as the celebrities who are attending. I met Olivia Newton-John that way at XANADU's opening night.
