I recieved a signed "Anything Goes" Playbill from Sutton foster in just under two weeks. I am waiting on a few others I sent out, also.
I have never sent fanmail, or anything like that, but do you think that if I sent Kacie Sheik a letter and one of my be-in posters (with a SASE), she would sign and send it back? I mean, it's not that important to me, just a thought. I feel that this may be weird but her performance moved me very much and I would love to write to her.
Today I heard back from Christine Chenowith (I sent out my Grey Gardens playbill for her to sign) and Victoria Clark. Ms. Clark wrote a VERY nice thank you letter for me and had a few other cast members sign the Sister Act playbill. I sent both of these out just over two weeks ago.
Christine Chenoweth? Was she the other Edie understudy no one knew about, or are you referring to Christine Ebersole?
Oh gosh...I am sorry. I wasn't paying attention to what I wrote. Christine Ebersole, of course is what I meant. Sorry again.
As long as you didn't address your mail to Christine Chenoweth :) ! There's no such Broadway actor that I know of!
haha! No I did not :)
There is only one Christine Chenowith I know but she is not an actress. Small "slip of the fingers", I guess.
I am still waiting on 5 more:
-Cast of The Phantom of the Opera
-Cast of The Book of Mormon
-Laura Michelle Kelly
-Ashley Brown
-Patti Lupone
Today, I got a signed headshot from Will Swenson.
Received a signed CMIYC playbill today.

I received my DVD cover from Peter Pan back, signed and inscribed by Paul Schoeffler (with a very nice note). He also signed a Rock of Ages Playbill for me.
He's been one of my favorite actors for years. I'm very happy with this success!
After seeing PROMISES,PROMISES and falling in love with Marian Mercer, I wrote her a fan letter and asked for a couple of feathers from her owl coat (the idea of an owl coat being the funniest thing to cross my mind at the time). Well, she sent me an entire swatch. The feathers were glued to black teardrop-shaped swatches of black felt attached to (I suppose) some sort of raincoat. I had that swatch for years.

Today, I got fanmail back from Sierra Boggess. She actually sent me the Little Mermaid postcard thing she use to send out! Love it!
I got it back within 4 days of mailing it.
Yesterday, I got a signed picture from Teal Wicks as Elphaba. Took about 3 months.
Today, I got a cast signed playbill from the tour of Shrek the Musical. Took probably 6-7 months.
I never got my six CD covers back from Joel Grey that I mailed to him back in March. Too bad, because many of them were already signed by other cast members. Guess I'll have to rebuy them.
I also lost something to Joel Grey....a windowcard that had been signed by other cast members.
Very odd. I've been mailing stuff for years and have never lost anything. Wonder what happened to our stuff...

I got a signed photo from Katie Rose Clarke(Wicked)two months after I wrote to her. I also got a signed photo,head shot actually,from Sutton Foster....ONE WEEK after I mailed the fan letter & request! That's like a record-I've never gotten a response that quickly. On the other hand Idina Menzel took 2 years. I'm not kidding.
Does Sutton really have that much time on her hands,or was she having a slow fan mail week? She did write my first name on it.
I'm new here,so hi everybody.
-Got headshots back form Buckley, Lansbury, and Channing
-Got a playbill back from Faith prince
I got a playbill signed by Patina Miller today!
Ah! Good to know she responds. I sent her the cover of my sister act cd and a lengthy fan letter in hopes that she will sign!
I'm contemplating sending my KenCen Follies window card to Jan Maxwell to sign, has anyone had success with her?
