Who have you gotten stuff back from? — Page 172

I was very happy to have heard back from Spring Awakening today. I had given up on them when I sent a cast-signed playbill request to them several months ago, and especially when they were asking for a $75 donation in-theater during the BCEFA Winter Collection Period.

"Individuals NEVER ask for a donation. They'll either respond or not. An individual asking for a donation before the sign something would be the equivalent of asking people for donations at the stage door before signing their playbills. Cast-signed playbills are different because they're on behalf of the production.

Your post gave me hope that I would get mine back soon/too, and I was very glad to receive my signed Playbill in the mail last night!

What has the recent response been like for Allegiance? Several month ago when I sent a playbill request, they just sent me a blank playbill, but now I'm hearing that they're sending out cast-signed playbills?

Received cast-signed playbills from King Charles III, Allegiance, and A View From The Bridge this week, as well as a signed Lights of Broadway card and a sweet letter from Ruthie Ann Miles.

the stick was tossed into the crowd at the Stage door, so I didn't see who singed it (LMM did not toss it)

I meant to bring it when I saw/stage doored Hamilton, but of course I forgot it.

Is sending it to the Richard Rodgers theatre ATTN LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA the best option?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Never send something through the mail to have signed if it is something you would be devastated to never get back. I can't imagine how much mail Lin may have to sort through. For regular items, it may take a while. And you're also running the risk of not getting a response/never getting what you sent returned to you.

Has anyone tried for a signed playbill from Hamilton lately? I sent a SASE on Jan 22, with donation, and haven't heard yet. But I don't really know how long would be a normal wait time because I'm sure they have a crazy amount of mail.



Also, when is an appropriate time to start sending requests to Shuffle Along? After opening night? And they'll probably be requesting donations, yes?

I sent to Hamilton late last year and heard back within a couple weeks. I imagine that they must be busy with an influx of things they have received. Their popularity increased exponentially after the Grammys. I hope the stage managers of this show are being treated VERY well.

I'd really love to send fan mail to Jesse Tyler Ferguson in Fully Committed, what are the chances they'd ask for a donation or that he'd even reply? I assume he's going to receive quite a lot of fan mail.

Heard back from The Crucible. Sent me a cast-signed playbill with no donation request. Took about 2 weeks.

Whole process took about a month from send date (I'm in Canada)



That's the typical response when there are no cast-signed playbills yet to offer. Since they just opened, I suggest you try again in a couple weeks or so. I got the same response when I wrote to Allegiance and decided to write to them a second time a month later and it was then that I received a cast-signed playbill.



Also, received cast-signed playbills from The Crucible, Eclipsed, and Fiddler on the Roof over the weekend. No donation requests.

I sent a letter to Jessie Mueller last week. Hoping to hear back at some point

Anymore success with American Psycho? I'm sending a request today hoping to get a cast signed playbill before they close.
