I think there are 19 or so signatures on here, which includes most of the cast.
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before, but is there a way to get a cast signed les mis playbill? like who would you write to, and has anyone had success in the past? Thanks!

Elphie, I sent to them when they opened in the spring and they sent back a letter requesting a donation ($30 I think). I sent to the stage manager but you may have better luck sending to a specific cast member.
Got my two photos back signed by Mary Testa Via Wicked on Broadway- only took 9 days. She is SOO awesome! I have loved her for years!!!
She even sent me a great signed shot of her as Madame Morrible too!!!
I got a signed Cabaret playbill today. I think I mailed the request a few months ago, so it was a pleasant surprise!

I got signed playbills from Sierra Boggess(Phantom ) James Monroe Iglehart(Aladdin ) Jessie Mueller (Beautiful ) Ben Fankhauser(Newsies ) Emerson Steele (Violet )
I got letters from everybody except Sierra. Sierra wrote it on the playbill.
Random question - how many stamps do you usually put on a SASE (and how many on your envelope containing the SASE)?

I usually put 2 stamps on the SASE and one stamp of the non SASE.

Postage has nothing to do with how far you are. Only the weight.
^ That's not true. There are various postal zones, and the cost to ship to one zone may be more, but usually only changes when you are dealing with priority or express mail rather than first class. Since fan mail is generally sent first class, you don't have to worry about the postal zones. I've only ever sent something priority once to be signed and it was more because the weight of the item (a book) made it cheaper to do that with the postal zone to which I was sending.

Another round of mail will be going out tomorrow to:
James Iglehart
Audra McDonald
On the town
The Last Ship
gentlemans guide
YCTIWY
Pippin
Fingers crossed
I would wait for On the Town and The Last Ship. Most of the time they don't have cast signed playbills until late in previews or after the show officially opens.
Well, I put 4 or 5 regular stamps on the SASE since it's international mail. (I'm from Chile)

I got back a cast signed playbill from The Lion King and Chicago on Broadway. It took a little over a month.
I’m trying to put together a scrapbook for my girlfriend’s birthday of signed headshots from her favorite performers. Obviously, those that are currently in shows right now are easy to contact, but I’m having a hard time finding addresses for fan mail to send to some people. Does anyone know any fan mail addresses for the following?:
Andy Karl
Alice Ripley
Andrea Martin (sadly, as yesterday was her last day in “Pippin,” I missed the cut-off for sending her a letter)
Betsy Wolfe
Will Chase
Heidi Blickenstaff
Mandy Gonzalez
Steven Pasquale
Cristin Milioti
Laura Benanti
Joshua Henry
Patti Lupone
Jenn Gambatese
Thanks in advance!

Anyone hear back from IT'S ONLY A PLAY, THIS IS OUR YOUTH, CURIOUS INCIDENT... for signed playbill requests? Thanks
For Andrea Martin you can write to one of the theaters in Califonia that she is doing Pippin at. If you want Alice Ripley's, send me a PM.
Also, I heard back from Carolee Carmello! I sent here the following:
- Parade Playbill
- Addams Chicago Playbill
- Scandalous CD Cover
- Addams CD Cover
- a Bunch of Photos
She signed them all, AND included a cast signed program (not techinicly a playbill) from Finding Neverland at ART!
Hi everyone. This was an interesting thread to read. Good to know. Does anyone know how I would go about sending Gavin Creel something?

Gavin is currently in Book of Mormon in Toronto. You could try sending something to the Princess of Wales Theater, address here.

musicman_bwayfan - I received a signed playbill from Curious Incident yesterday. I sent a letter about two weeks ago and wasn't sure if it was too early to write to them, so it was a very nice surprise!
