Who has been nicest to you at the Stage Door? — Page 14

alistair mcgowan was so lovely after cabaret in london, and so was one of the chorus members i ran into before bombay dreams at the stage door was nice enough to take my programme backstage and get it signed by the full cast for me :) this was also in london haha

Faith Prince was a complete doll at the A Catered Affair stage door this past Saturday evening - Harvey and Tom Wopat as well. Leslie on the other hand didnt even come out and left through another exit.

The kids in SPRING AWAKENING were just dolls & certainly haven't let anything go to their heads.

Raul Esparza is a God.

The entire cast of SPAMALOT, including OBC & Clay's castmates. Even tho security kind of rushes him thru the huge crowds, I was impressed that Aiken made it a point to speak a few words to everyone or joke around or take a picture. The paparazzi have been hounding him lately & making the stage door experience less than it could be for a lot of the fans.

Most odd was Ralph Fiennes (gorgeous man) who dutifully signed everything & stood for pictures with everyone, but Never.Said.A.Word. & I was there for HAMLET several times.

I remember Mandy Patinkin being super friendly & his wife as well.

Actually, the only bad face-time I've ever had on Broadway was with Patti LuPone. It really upset my friend, who had traveled far & at great expense to see her & hopefully meet her.

i have to saw too that the cast of spring awakening were probally one of the nicest full cast that were so nice. but from the entire cast, lilli cooper has been myu favorite. i made her a scrapbook when i saw it the day before the rest of the obc left, and she was so gracious about it. also orfeh (paulette from legally blonde) was so nice when i got to see her.

I haven't been able to get to NYC for years, so when I was able to go this past weekend for one night I decided to stage door Speed the Plow and get my Company DVD signed by Raúl.

I'm really terribly shy, so I just sort of waited until everyone else was done talking to him and getting pictures, and then handed him the DVD. Everyone else was (obviously) getting Speed the Plow stuff signed, so when I handed him Company I said something to the effect of "here's something different." He looked at the DVD, and said, "Oh, my sad face." It was just about the cutest thing ever. Then he signed it "Raúl E. Esparza "Bobby"." :) Sadly, I only had a ballpoint pen, and black ink on a black DVD is hard to see, but you can make it out if the angle is right. At least I know it's there. He was so sweet that I'm afraid if I lived in NYC I would just hang out at the stage door every night!

I commented on here before but I have to add Julie Reiber to my list. Even if I am pre-show stagedooring(which I don't like to do at all) she will come over to me and talk for a bit before she has to go get green.

legally-popular, I hope to see David Burnham again also. I miss him

Oh and Norbert Leo during DRS. He stopped to chat with the cutest little kid.

I agree about Daniel Radcliffe. TONS of fans crowd the stage door every night, but he still tries to get as many playbills signed as he can.

Hannah Waddingham. I had heard some things from other people but I thought she was extremely friendly and down to earth.

The entire cast of Bonnie & Clyde was really sweet, and very chatty every time I saw the show. Esp Leslie Becker and Melissa van der Schyff - I had nice conversations with the both of them about the show, and theatre in general. Both are very interested in talking to fans, and asking us questions. So sweet. I also should mention Mimi Bessette, Victor Hernandez, Claybourne Elder, Kelsey Fowler, Talon Ackerman and Laura Osnes. This is one of the nicest casts as a whole, they are so grateful for the support of their fans, and it shows!

Also, Sutton Foster has been nothing but sweet when I've met her at the stage door. She's very down to earth.

Jill Paice is also incredibly sweet and down to earth. I just adore her.

Other people worth mentioning: Mara Davi, Raymond J. Lee, Tari Kelly, and Sarah Jane Everman. :)

Agreed. Of all the times I've "stage doored" everybody was really nice! Never had an encounter with anyone being rude or diva-like. Sometimes I haven't met the nicest people waiting, but that's a different topic...

Norm Lewis was great. Actually, everyone at Porgy and Bess was fantastic. Crown stayed for at least 20 minutes and talked to everyone.
Terri White is also delightful, as is Elaine Paige.
