Nearly two years later I got a signed playbill and pro-shot back from Hugh Panaro today!!!

FYI: Wrote to Jersey Boys got another lame letter back saying to donate $20.
I sent a letter in February to Audra, Norm, and David and finally got a response today: A signed Playbill signed by all 3 of them!
Has anyone had any luck with Nice Work if You Can Get It? I don't mind making a donation but I never heard back from my original request, which was sent back during previews.

This week I received mail from:
Carolee Carmello - signed photo and sent my questionnaire back
Andy Richardson - signed trading card and sent my questionnaire back
Capathia Jenkins - signed playbill signed by most of the cast and questionnaire.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of shows send back a donation letter now considering the flea market is coming soon which means more fundraising for BCEFA.
Got another response today! Got 2 Playbills from the cast of Phantom, both personalized!

I got a signed photo back from Raven Symoné. It took about two weeks.
^ Did you send her a photo? If not, was it a production shot?
Featured Actor Joined: 6/14/12
Glad to hear Raven responds! I sent her a stagedoor photo about a week ago, so hopefully I'll get a reply too!
I sent Raven a signed playbill request on June 16, still no reply...

^Did you include a SASE? Maybe she doesn't send back playbills.

Has anyone ever successfully sent a window card to a stage door and gotten it back signed? How did you package it?
Featured Actor Joined: 6/14/12
^I feel like sending a window card would be hard to do since it's printed on durable card stock as opposed to a regular poster on glossy paper.
Also, I received mail the other day from Marla Mindelle (Sister Act)

Today when I got home I found in the mail 2 signed photos from Jeremy Jordan, along with a signed Newsies trading card! It took exactly one week. I can't believe how fast that took, Jeremy Jordan is the best! Needless to say, I am extremely happy.
Does anybody have any experience sending to Emily Skinner? Also does anyone have an address to send fan mail for her to?

Just got back a full-cast signed ONCE playbill. Took under 2 weeks.
Has anybody sent to Elena Roger? Or Emily Skinner?
I have to share, I got stuff back from the Newsies cast. Sent 2 window cards to Ben Fankhauser and he returned them fully signed by the cast. I did send a SASE and a donation to Broadway Cares.

To those who are getting signed opening night playbills, did you buy an opening night playbill from Playbill.com or did you simply request one from the actor in your letter?
Also, does anyone know the address to send fanmail to the Walter Kerr theater? Is it just...
[Actor Name]
Walter Kerr Theatre
219 West 48th Street
New York, NY 10036
Thanks!
The one time I got an opening night Playbill from a cast, I didn't request it... I only requested a Playbill signed by the cast (and then didn't realize for months after I got it that it was one from opening night-- I was just thrilled to have received one at all, and didn't look inside!)
Also, yes, that is the address for the Walter Kerr Theatre.
