I made a donation of $100 to Broadway Cares. I thought it would be nice to send it in honor of two performers I admired and took advantage of the option of sending a personal message to them. I told Andrew Rannells how much I enjoyed his BOM performance, and I told Rory O'Malley I enjoyed his BOM performance and work for his "It Gets Better" Project. The organization sent the customary acknowledgement and thanks. I did not know if the guys I sent it "in honor of" would send a thank you. It did not matter that much, as I know they must be inundated with requests and other promotional obligations. Should I have expected a personal thank you from them? I really did not know.
Within the past 2 weeks, I have gotten:
- a signed picture from Patina Miller
- Cast signed Man and Boy playbill
- Signed playbill from Kara DioGuardi
Sent to the cast of CHICAGO after Fan Day (1/30/2011)
Finally got a response today, but it was a blank Playbill with Kara DioGuardi (as they swapped out the one I had sent).
Thank God the stamps weren't tarnished, I can reuse them.
Today I received my Pre-Broadway Aida windowcard signed by Adam Pascal. It took less than 10 days!
Now I just need to get Heather Headley's signature.

Off of topic, but I work at a youth center and one of the girls who comes there often got me a cast signed playbill from Chinglish :)
Never done this before and was just wondering if you guys find that performer's don't send stuff out during BC/EFA fundraising season? I wasn't sure if they would send out signed playbills, etc., since you can buy them after the performances.

Does Jan Maxwell send out signed headshots upon request?

Thank God for school breaks - I've gone through most (if not all) of the pages of this thread and I think I have a pretty clear idea of how (and who) to send things to. :)

The other day I got a signed playbill from the principles from Memphis. I'm really happy since Adam Pascal didn't come out the stagedoor when I saw it so at least I have it now.
The week Thomas Sadoski left OTHER DESERT CITIES, I sent my playbill to get signed by the cast, and I got it back about a week later.
