The Dancer's Life Stage Door Questions

Posted: 1/14/06 at 11:08pm

I am taking my mother to see Chita Rivera tomorrow and we wanted to go to the stage door if the weather isn't too bad. I just have two questions:
1) Where exactly is it?
2) What is the crowd like?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

come out of the theatre, take a left and walk just past the doors. There will probably be barriades up already so it's tough to miss.

Is Chita friendly? Does she sign? Will she do photos?

And if she doesn't come out, they're glad to send things up to her.

Extremely friendly, but sometimes takes up to an hour to come out.

I dont know how Chita is at The Dancer's Life, but she was INCREDIBLY sweet when I met her after Nine. She signed for everyone and stayed and talked with my friend and I in excess of a half an hour

She's very nice and signed, took pictures with anyone who wanted, and talked to everyone who was waiting.

Chita loves seeing stuff from her previous shows. I brought a 9 Playbill for her to sign and she was more than happy to do so. She spoke to me for a few minutes about her love for the cast and show.

She signed my Bajour Playbill & got a kick out of it saying it was older than she was

Thanks Phantom so much. I live in DC and the only way I ake it up to NYC is on one day bus trips, so a matinee is really my only option but thanks a million!
