When is Christian Borle leaving Legally Blonde? And how can I meet him?

I saw him in Legally Blonde in the beginning of July and he was fantastic. But I heard he's leaving at the end of august and I'm going again in October and really wanted to see him perform again. Is it confirmed anywhere that he's leaving?

I was also wondering if anybody knew of a way that I could meet him?

Now that Brigadoon has been postponed, I'm wondering if he might be sticking around awhile.

Just to be a little helpful (sorry guys, I'm in a cheery mood), though I'm not sure when he's leaving, I wouldn't suggest stage door. I have stage doored twice for LB (once with Laura Bell and once accidentally a few weeks ago after Bailey/Autumn's first performances) and neither time did he come out. So not really a safe bet...

What does Christian Borle have to do with Brigadoon???? I haven't heard anything relating the two....

I met him before a matinee show on a saturday. He's pretty friendly if you're not weird to him i think. He seemed very adamant about the fact that we DID have tickets to the show that day, which we did.

Yeah! Don't leave us hanging! What's his reason for not doing the stage door?

I think his reason for not stagedooring is pretty obvious. I don't think he's a huge fan of the fangirls/boys that this show has created. He's just really a simple/normal dude that is in this show.

Just my two cents. I could be wrong.. but i'm pretty sure from what I've seen and heard it sounds like it's a good deduction.

Seems to me that part of Broadway performing IS stage door signing. It has been since the Stage Door Johnnies waited to offer diamonds and pearls to the Ziegfeld chorus girls in the early 1900s.

If someone doesn't like doing the door, maybe they should watch Broadway:The Golden Years or reconsider their career priorities.

Then of course, there's the great story of the aging and retired actress who politely told everyone who asked for her autograph, "I'm sorry, I don't sign anything for the public nowadays, you see, I'm retired and I really don't need you anymore."

Well, even so, it's better that he exits a different way instead of just barging through fans refusing to sign or anything, like other actors.

I think it's "part of Broadway," but it isn't part of the job. Actors aren't under any obligation to take part in it.

I guess it would bother me a lot more if I actually liked him as a performer. :-P

I saw the show 4 times and stage doored each time and Christian never came out. I am always usually by the theatre before the show too just waiting around for it to start and I still always miss him walking in. I can understand and respect his choice for not coming out but I would really like to meet him one day because people who I know have meet him said he was really one of the nicest guys. But like many people have said I guess it is not really part of his job to actually stage door and sign. I am also waiting to see when Christian's last day is too because I would love to go to his last show. I keep saying that this is going to be my last time seeing this show and yet I keep going back! I hope they announce his last day soon! Plus I really wanna see him in a different role now!

Oh, and on how you accidentally stage door: on this past trip after a day of seeing shows, I was trying to get back home but the pedestrian traffic was not moving. At all. So after a while I start asking why and it turns out it was people stage-dooring for Legally Blonde, only there were so many people they were just crowding the sidewalks. I saw Autumn, who I really liked and was thought "screw it", got in line, and stage doored. I only felt half-bad since I had seen the show a month and a half before with the same exact cast, except with Laura Bell and it seemed my only opportunity, as I have no plans of seeing it with Bailey. Anyhoo, that's my two cents.
