Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From?

Re xoffender45 message on 5/29/12

With how badly the show is doing you should send your Playbill in again, I'm sure they'll be happy to sign it now with the hope that you would buy a ticket.

To budfrump-I tried ages ago (this was over ten years ago) to get something signed by Bernadette-I received a letter back asking for a donation to Broadway Cares or her animal organization (I don't think the organization is called Broadway Barks but I could be mistaken). Just so you know what may happen.

It took about a month I think.

I wrote to newsies stage manager, but they said I needed to donate $20 to get a signed playbill.

It seems that the most successful shows (financially speaking) are none too pleased about fan mail and autograph requests, hence the donation requests, and in the case of EVITA, bull**** letters.

I'm all for donating to Broadway Cares, but why don't non-sell out/SRO shows ask for a donation? Hmm...

Hey fellow fansies, went tom Newsies matinee yesterday for the second time. Gave stage management our program to get signed pre-show, got it back after the show with nothing (don't think they even tried) and after seeing these posts I'm probably right. Anyway, wanted to send it to the theatre to specific cast member to get it done! Need an address, can any of you help? Sad thing is we talked to Andrew Keenan Bolger, Mike Faist and Andy Richardson before show, but we had already handed it in! Thanks for any help!

(Don't forget to send a self-addressed stamped envelope.)

jv92: The only financially successful show there's been issues with regarding fanmail is Evita and Newsies. How to Succeed on occasion (but they actually sent me a playbill signed by Daniel Radcliffe - it just took four months). Shows like Book of Mormon, Wicked, Spiderman, Phantom, Once, etc. will send back signed playbills signed by the full company without asking for a donation.

Thanks for the help! For others, I hear stage management for this particular show is difficult, but the actors are very willing. That's why I asked for info. Just include the SASE!

BOOK OF MORMON has asked for donations, tphiliboy.

Oh! I'm sorry! When I wrote to them in September they sent back a signed playbill within a month. Things must have changed.

Don't be sorry. I'm not saying they're wrong to ask for donations. It's a wonderful thing. But why just these hit shows? It just strikes me as weird.

EVITA sending some bull**** letter, though...

The Evita letter made me mad. What really made me mad was last year at the broadway flea market that How to Succeed was charging 80 dollars for a signed playbill. That's really ridiculous.

Has anyone received anything back from Adam Chanler-Berat (Next to Normal, Rent Off-Broadway, Peter & the Starcatcher)?

I sent him a letter about a week and a half ago but I didn't include a SASE. Can you still get a response from someone without including a SASE? Has anyone ever received anything back from him?

usually you need a SASE. the only thing i've heard of that you get back from without a SASE is Wicked LLC.

This is my first time posting so I'm not to sure if this has already been said or not. But now that Raul Esparza is no longer in leap of faith I was wondering where one could write him.

Any help would be nice. Thanks

Well, I sent in my playbill hoping to get James Earl Jones and Angela Lansbury's autographs on my Best Man playbill, and they sent me back a fresh playbill signed by every cast member! VERY VERY HAPPY!!!

anything you do let it come from you and it will be new.

I've never written to a stage door before, and I don't know how to search within a thread, so I apologize if these questions have been answered. What size envelope do you use, and how much postage do you put on the SASE? Also, do you put the return address (the theatre) on the SASE?

I'm producing a fundraiser and asking for signed Playbills for a raffle. should I just write to the stage management?

#3473

Yes, write to the stage manager c/o the theater. You can research the address on Google. When I went to see "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," only Patrick Page and Reeve Carney came out. Upon research, they were the only regulars at the stage door which was annoying. So I wrote to the stage manager and three months later, I got a Playbill signed by every actor in the cast.

Ironically, I am a filmmaker and Patrick Page is in my short film now. But his friendliness at the stage door is what convinced me to cast him in the first place.

>ahhrealmonsters - you use an envelope that is big enough to contain whatever it is you are asking for - a 6x9 is big enough for a Playbill (I think?), but if you want a photo you'd use an envelope a bit larger than 8x10. Make up a dummy package (stuff the appropriate envelope with material similar to whatever it is you expect to get in return) and weigh it and put enough stamps on the envelope to cover that weight (easy to figure out at usps,com). On a SASE I generally use my own address as the return address.

>fliponswitch - just have a bit of patience. Raúl will very likely be in a show and back in a theater fairly soon, so you can write to him then.

FYI: I wrote Jeremy Jordan and received a signed playbill, for free! Only he signed it and its unpersonalized, but it's still cool, and only took about a week!
