I addressed the letter to the entire cast of All the Way, asking for a signed playbill and explaining why it would mean a lot me. I included my business card (I'm a journalist, don't know if that helped). When I spoke to the stage manager, I asked if he would give my letter and SASE to the cast and thanked him profusely.

I sent to the Book of Mormon, Pippin, and Kinky Boots about a year ago. I only got a cast signed playbill from the Book of Mormon. I didn't hear back from the others and I didn't send a donation to any of them.
I got one back from Pippin! Took about a week.
I checked the mail today and to my delight I revived a cast signed pride playbill from Bullets Over Broadway and they very kindly took my request and got Marin Mazzie to sign my Carrie playbill. I sent to them around the beginning of May. It defffinately takes some time but they do respond! :) I would post a picture but I'm not sure how...

Got my Playbill back signed with a nice little personal note from Terrence Mann and Charlotte d'Amboise in Pippin. Got it back in about a week and half.
I sent to Charlotte D'Amboise also and bot back in about 5 days! Love her.
I would love to have my OBC Carrie poster signed by her but I think a poster is to much work. Plus it's in really good condition and I don't want it to get damaged in the mail. Oh well. Maybe she will do the flea market this year?
^ Does she not come out the Bullets stage door and sign? if so, why not take it there.
I was talking about Charlotte. I believe Marin does come out though.
Has anybody gotten stuff back from Ramine Karimloo? I would like him to sign a playbill, so would I write to him or the stage manager?

Marin usually does not come out between shows on two-show days.
Hey, guys! I know this isn't really a question about fan mail, but I have a Newsies Playbill signed by some of the members of the original Broadway cast and I can't identify most of the signatures. I posted it on my Broadway fan mail website, and I would really appreciate it if you could help me out! Also, if you're having trouble reading any of the signatures, just message me and I can try to send you a better picture. Thank you so much!!!

^ Good luck! It's pretty late in the month since they are only doing Rainbow for the month of June, but i am certain they will have some left over to send to you!

MaddieBB12, Unless you sent them the postage in advance, I doubt they will send them. I just sent 8 Pride playbills to a poster on here(the playbills were free, but he paid the postage) and the postage for those 8 was $7. I hope you get your request. I have some of them you can have, if your request does not come through.
I'm debating sending to Violet. I have an Anything Goes Playbill that is signed by everyone except Sutton, but I don't want to take a chance if never seeing it again. Has anyone had any luck with Violet at all?
^Don't worry--I also sent a self addressed, self stamped envelope with each (and I stuck a playbill in the envelope and weighed it to make sure I was putting enough postage on each one!). Thanks though!
Also, Darreyl--that was why I sent them when I did; in hope of catching the extras!
I checked my mail yesterday and I had revived a cast signed playbill from Cinderella. With Fran's HAND SIGNED autograph. Very happy :) .

I'm sure this was discussed one hundred posts ago but does anyone know how much of a donation you need for a signed Newsies Playbill? I know we're beginning to run short on time but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks!

I sent Idina Menzel a letter after her Radio City show and I just received a signed If/Then Playbill from her! I didn't ask for anything back in my letter but I did include a self-addressed and stamped envelope.
