I got mail back from Elaine Stritch today. She signed my CD covers of ELAINE STRITCH AT LIBERTY, SHOW BOAT, FOLLIES, and DRAT! THE CAT!
It took three weeks.

Posted: 11/2/10 at 6:11pmStritch was in Drat! The Cat!?. I guess I need to get up to date on my flop musicals.

Stritch was only on the 1997 Studio recording of DRAT! THE CAT!
She was not in the original broadway cast. (also, the OBC of DRAT! THE CAT! was never officially recorded)

Posted: 11/3/10 at 2:17amI received a window card for "Driving Miss Daisy" that I sent to Vanessa Redgrave. It was signed and it took less than 2 weeks.

Posted: 11/3/10 at 8:51ampc1145N2- How do you include a SASE when you send window cards? I've never sent a window card because I never knew how!! Do you stuff a cardboard box inside the box you send the poster in?

xoffender45-
I have purchased several windowcards online and one of them came in a large (26 X 16) envelope. I use that and with my letter, include a new shipping label with my address and new postage. I get the postage from the kiosks that are in the lobby of most post offices. They simply have to cover the address label with my new label, cover the postage with the new postage and re-use the same envelope that I sent it in.
So far, I've only had one windowcard not returned. I sent a window card to The Walter Kerr Theatre in hopes that Elaine Stritch would sign it and return it. I sent it 12 weeks before I went to NYC to see ALNM and figured I could get the rest of the cast in person. I knew it was a risk....and I'm glad that I took the risk, it just didn't pay off.
However, anytime you send anything out...there's always some risk involved.

^ BLOODY BLOODY was quick.
It's been 3 weeks and I've yet to hear from WOMEN ON THE VERGE.
Also, today I got my BOEING-BOEING Playbill signed by Mark Rylance.
It has a nice corny message on it.

Posted: 11/14/10 at 9:58pmI would imagine you could send your playbills to the Walter Kerr Theatre, attention Bernadette. Or she has an address listed on her website you could try. She asks for a $10 donation to Broadway Barks, so even though you're sending Playbills instead of asking for a photo, it might be good to send the donation.

Posted: 11/15/10 at 6:05pm^ I hope that means I will be getting mine soon! :)
#3196re: who have you gotten stuff back from?
Posted: 11/15/10 at 7:31pmSorry if this has already been asked, but for Playbills, are you guys writing letters to the casts, or just sending the envelopes with a note that says "Signed Playbill, please?" I'd love to ask for a couple from a few shows I missed out on while I was in NY.
#3197re: who have you gotten stuff back from?
Posted: 11/17/10 at 2:24pm
^ I always send around a half page letter to the entire cast praising the show and performances, although there are some people that just ask for a signed playbill without saying anything about the show.
Anyway, today I got a signed production picture from Elizabeth Stanley from Million Dollar Quartet. It took about 2 months.

Posted: 11/17/10 at 4:33pmIs there a way to send playbills to touring casts?
#3199re: who have you gotten stuff back from?
Posted: 11/17/10 at 4:39pmYes. You have to figure out where the show you wanna send to is playing and send it to that theater. Also be aware, if you wanna send it to HAIR for example, sending it to the Kennedy Center tomorrow wouldn't make sense since it leaves on Sunday and may not get there in time, so you would have to send it to the next stop in Seattle.
