theatrebelle- I sent my poster in a carboard packing taped up with one side open to allow the poster to be taken out. I put on 13 stamps on. It costs like $5.50 to ship it priority mail. I wrote priority on it. I stuck my letter in there as well. I then wrapped it in brown shipping paper and brought it to the post office and shipped it out through them.
stmck - ADDAMS FAMILY seems to vary wildly among my friends. I sent one back in early May and got it back after 2 and a half months (fully signed OPENING NIGHT including Nathan and Bebe).
My friend sent hers (Well, I did it for her since she was clueless, but I digress) and she got it back fully signed within the month (3-4 weeks).

Does anybody know where I could send something to Kelli O'Hara now that she is no longer in a show?
I had the same question. There are addresses for both her manager and agent on her website, but I was not sure which was better to send to.
For those who care, Leigh Ann Larkin is great about returning fan mail. I wrote her during Gypsy and received a nice letter and signed photo in return.
Today, I am sending a request out for a signed picture to every principle in the San Francisco production of Wicked.
Later this week, I will be sending out a request to: In the Heights Chicago Next to Normal Jason Danieley Louis Hobson Kyle Dean Massey Meghann Fahy Brian Crum Kelsey Grammer Douglas Hodge Alex Brightman
Does anyone know for sure who signs the presigned phantom playbills? I received one and can't make out any of them it actually looks like there by all the same person haha. Thanks for any info
It's definitely a risk I am taking, but I had received playbills back from Mary Poppins before, so I'm sure I'll get it back, just not sure how long it is going to take. Even if it does get lost, I have another poster already signed, so I'm not that worried.

has anyone had any luck with sutton at second stage? i would think that i would have gotten a return to sender by now if i wasn't going to get it back... Updated On: 8/25/10 at 10:37 PM
I got a South Pacific Playbill in the mail...However, it wasn't the Osnes/Szot one I sent. It was a Pittsinger/Osnes one...although they were nice enough to send back the playbill I sent originally.

Today, I got a signed picture from Alexander Hanson as Frederik in A Little Night Music.
I also got a letter from Wicked regarding the cast photos they have for each cast and I asked them if they had extras, and they do, but require a donation to BCEFA, which I am very well ok with, which I am hoping to send out tomorrow, and get them within the week. If anyone is interested, I'll keep you updated.
Today I got 2 personalized signed pictures from Valerie Boyle, who plays Mrs. Brill in Mary Poppins (one for my friend and one for me), and she also included 2 cast signed playbills as well. Gotta love her!
