Believe there's more information in the actual thread for the show but from what I remember, Allen was happy to sign, along with Cromer.

Believe Cera wasn't coming out and May was also not signing regularly but did sign an album that was also signed by Mike Nichols.

I saw the show last night. Elaine doesn't come out of the stage door. She gets escorted out by security to her waiting car. She signed my Playbill and was given another massive round of applause and cheers by the people exiting the theater.

It was announced Michael Cera was not coming out and the 15-20 people waiting all left. I was the only one who waited to see Lucas who came out about 10 minutes after that. I got to have a quick chat with him and get a photo/Playbill signed. I was surprised that people didn't want to meet one of today's more acclaimed actors of his generation, simply because Cera didn't do the stagedoor. To each his/her own. It was a wonderful play and Elaine, Lucas and Joan knock it out of the park.

A side note. I had a front row, middle of the aisle seat. It took forever to get out of the theater because of the set up.

I went during previews. Allen and Hedges came out and were very friendly and talked to us for a while. Cromer had friends waiting but still signed and was quite friendly.

Cera didnt stage door at all, but Elaine May, though quickly escorted to her car, waved to the applauding crowd

Allen and Cromer both signed and talked for a while the day I went. Hedges waved and ducked into a car, but I think he was on the way to a Boy Erased Event

I think a theater largely made up of patrons aged 75+ also plays a bit of a role...

No, it;'s like that with EVERY show at the Golden --- the poor design makes for horrible traffic flow (everyone from the orchestra and the mezz is all converging at one exit point).  It's a real fire hazard.  They should be opening up the side doors.
