Has anyone tried James Monroe Iglehart? I want to mail in my playbill and just wanted to know if anyone had any luck.

I sent to Aladdin and heard back within a couple weeks, but I never sent directly to James. He is probably the most popular performer of that show, so it might take a little while.

I sent James a signed Playbill request a few months ago and he responded. It took a really long time (over three months), but he sent me a signed Playbill and a short note.

Has anyone tried Helen Mirren over at The Audience? I'm in the process of sending to her right now.

Anyone sent to Fish in the Dark?

^ I sent to an individual person in Fish in the Dark (not Larry David) and got a response back yesterday. It took about a month.

Does anyone know if 54 Below passes on fanmail?

They have in the past. I sent to Patti Lupone and got my CD Inserts back signed and personalized.

Just got back a playbill of Hamilton signed by the entire cast! It made my day and it only took ~two weeks to arrive

Heard back from the "Newsies" national tour; got a Playbill signed by about half of the cast Also recently heard back from Annaleigh Ashford and Lee Slobotkin.

How long did it take to hear back from Helen Mirren?

Seahag2, did you do anything special for the signed Hamilton playbill? Donation or send in your own playbill?

Heard back from The Phantom of the Opera today. Took about three weeks.

Has anyone tried It's Only A Play recently? Are they still requesting $50 donations, or has that policy changed since Nathan, Rupert, and Megan left?

[seahag2]

@luckyleo: I sent them a fan letter asking for a signed playbill and included a self addressed stamped envelope

For those who sent things to 54 Below… When exactly did you send it since their engagements are only a week- two weeks long? I want to send something to Patti LuPone this go-around in April.

Is it the same as sending something to the stage door.. a self-addressed envelope and such? And do I just send it to that specific place (254 W 54TH ST, CELLAR, NEW YORK, NY 10019)?

I have never written fan mail, obviously, so sorry if my questions are redundant and ridiculous!

[pc1145N2]

Posted: 3/11/15 at 5:58pm

I sent it a day or two before Patti's engagement began. My hope was that it would be delivered on the second day of the show. I figured that she'd have the time to sign it and return it at that point.

^Thank you so much for responding!

Does Aladdin require a donation? Just want to know before I send.

[atuomala]

Posted: 3/11/15 at 7:10pm

@jjohnson5 Aladdin requires no donation.

On the envelope, do I actually write "Patti LuPone" above 54 Below's address? All I can imagine right now is the staff opening it and jeering at me for fan mail, haha. I'm weirdly nervous about this!

I can actually write a letter and such correct? Not just a "please sign my album covers" note?

[pc1145N2]

Posted: 3/12/15 at 6:29am

promises......you are correct.

Anybody else hear back from If/Then? I sent a nice letter and a check for BC/EFA about 4 weeks ago. I know I'm not entitled to anything, I get that, but I did send a check without them first asking for it. It hasn't been cashed yet but we've only got like 8 days left now.

Some people mentioned they wrote and got a letter back asking for a check - how long did it take for that response?

[atuomala]

Posted: 3/14/15 at 7:18pm

I sent a request and donation to If/Then over a month ago and have yet to receive a response. Maybe the stage manager is waiting until the end of the run to fulfill all the playbill requests. I didn't receive responses from You Can't Take It With You or The Elephant Man until a week after the shows closed.
