Who does/doesn't do the Stagedoor? I'd really appreciate knowing. I'm seeing it Thursday.

Thanks!

Everyone comes out of the stage door and are more than willing
to sign/pose for pictures! :)

When I saw it, only Diana DeGarmo and Lee Morgan came out, which really made me mad because the only person I wanted to meet was Melba Moore. She was definitely the highlight of that crappy show.

Really? I heard she was the weak-link...

Definitely not!!! She was the highlight of the show!!! Cleavant Derricks was also good, but the other three fell somewhere in between so-so and crap. I don't get why everybody was so excited to see Diana DeGarmo. She was just up there screaming the whole show, and on a few occasions she was very noticably sharp.

They all came out when I saw the show. Diana was AMAZING! I really loved Cleavant Dericks too!

They all came out when I saw it in St. Paul...VERY nice and friendly cast.

And yes...I must agree with Chillin...Melba was pretty weak when I saw it. It's not entirely her fault...the source material isn't wonderful to begin with. I'm sure she has gotten much more comfortable in the role.

And like I said, they couldn't have been nicer after...a warning, though...DeGarmo likes to wear sunglasses (even at night!) and I know she's slipped by people unnoticed.

Wow, Bway boy, I'm not sure what show you saw, but Melba was not the highlight. She slurred more than half her lines, stuttered on almost all of her lines, and walked with a wierd pimp limp. Diana was a great singer. I wouldn't call it screaming at all. And the highlight of the show was Julie Rieber, she gave a great performanced and delivered in all areas. I'd love to see her tackle the title role as she is the understudy.

Diana is always out signing autographs but after an hour she sometimes goes back in and then leaves. Also security people tend to rush things. So please be a little more understanding.
