definitely the entire cast of spring awakening, bar none.

seriously the sweetest group of actors i have ever met. especially lea michele, jonathan groff, and specifically john gallagher jr, who talked to me for 20 minutes and offered me his gloves because my hands were numb and purple from the weather, haha. i love them dearly.

seriously, SA cast-- best cast ever. !

First on the list:
All 4 Jersey Boys
and the supporting Cast
members of the show.
I have always said they are the
nicest guys on Broadway!
Second, I would have to
say the cast of Les Mis.
Especially Daphne and
Norm Lewis, Celia and of
course Alex.

The "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" cast (especially Greg Jbara) was a very nice group of people. The "Sweeney Todd" revival cast was very fun and intelligent. It was nice to engage in conversation with a few of them.

I wholeheartedly concur I think John and Jon MAY just be some of the sweetest people I've ever met. You dont even NEED to talk to them for a long amount of time.. they just... make you feel good because they're so warm and friendly and everything Though I AM determined to actually make conversation with them next time I go since they ARE so incredibly easy/fun to talk to and last time I was just kind of all "omg thank you so much, it was amazing!" lame, I know.

sorry, this is a bit of a threadjack, so /threadjack :P

I can't say that the WHOLE cast of SA was nicest at stage door, but the following were: Lea Michele, Lauren Pritchard, Jon Wright, Brian Charles Johnson, Skylar Astin, Johnny Gallagher and Jon Groff...these 7 stood out as being some of the sweetest and most sincere...you should have seen how excited Skylar was to come back around after aready seeing everyone just to tell us all the Jerry Seinfeld was behind us in his car!

I haven't a had a ton of great stage door experiences, including Spamalot (original cast), Drowsy Chaperone and each of the many times I saw Sweeney Todd. The best though hands down was Ron Eldard and Eileen Atkins while they were in Doubt. In June of last year I had a decent 5-10 minute conversation with them about the show at the stage door. Granted this may have been because I was the only one there but they both took the time to discuss the play with me and what I thought of it. Both are true class acts and I would jump at the chance to see either one of them in their respective productions.

I would definitely have to say Sutton Foster was the nicest and seemingly most sincere.
Others who I have had exceptional experiences with include Philip Bosco, Emily Skinner, Danny Burstein, Doug Sills.

Greg Jbara, and the entire cast of Jersey Boys

Grey Gardens cast, as well.

My favorite though? The security guard at Jersey Boys. He was so friendly and kind, which I hardly ever see with security guards at the stage door anymore.

The Dirty Rotten Scoundrels cast... those few that I've met, Greg Jbara, Norbert Leo Butz, Andrew Asnes, Jack (Greg's Dresser).

The four Jersey Boys.

All of the SA cast... but esp. John Gallagher Jr. and Jonathan Groff.

Les Miserables cast. Pretty much everyone I met was nice.
