Is anyone planning on sending to Amélie or Philippa Soo to see if they respond?
Heard back from Jitney and Kinky Boots with Todrick Hall, no donation requests.
Has anyone tried the Chicago company of Hamilton? I just saw the show with the current cast, and would love to get a cast signed playbill if possible.

I saw Chicago Hamilton back in October, and sent 2 Playbills to be signed for my wife and son (along with a note and SASE). They were returned, signed by everyone, within 2-3 weeks. It was unbelievable and awesome.

Received Sunday in the Park playbill signed by the whole cast! No donation required!

Heard back from The Present and received a playbill signed by Cate Blanchett and Richard Roxborough, only. No donation requested.
Does anyone know if Significant Other asks for donations? I would REALLY love to have a cast signed playbill from them.
Also, does anyone know if any of these shows asks for donations?
School of Rock, War Paint, The Price, Come From Away, Hamilton, Waitress, Cats, Anastasia, Miss Saigon, In Transit, Groundhog Day, Sunset Boulevard, Oslo, Avenue Q (Off-Broadway), the Great Comet, Pretty much EVERY show.

Probably not normally, but not sure if that is the case when they are selling signed playbills as part of the BC/EFA drives. Seems odd to ask for $40 in person from people who bought a ticket, but then mail it for free to people who didn't even attend.
Any idea what the sunset mailing address is?

The Palace Theater has been in the same spot since 1913...

Palace Theatre
160 West 47th Street
New York, NY 10036
That's the correct address to send mail to the Palace. Their mailing address is NOT the theater's address, but the address that's on the stage door. If you send something using the theater's address, you will get it sent back to you with a failure to deliver notice.

I once got a return to sender envelope from the Palace when I sent to the address on Playbill.com (1564 Broadway) when American in Paris was playing.
Perhaps since the stage door is on 47th street part way down the block and has a different address written on the actual door (sorry I don't know what it is), that is what Phillytheatreguy10 is referring to....
Heard back from Miss Saigon and they're asking for a minimum $100 donation to BCEFA for a cast-signed playbill.

WTF?!!

My thoughts exactly. I'm happy to donate to BCEFA, but I think $100 for a cast-signed playbill is a bit of a stretch for any show that isn't Hamilton.

UPDATE: I FINALLY GOT IT BACK. I got it back on March 30, 2017 (It took 32 days or in weeks: 3 weeks and 11 days). Fortunately, I got a playbill. Unfortunately, It was UNSIGNED. They're asking for a $25 donation to BC/EFA to get a cast signed playbill. At least I got a playbill! And I'm going to be sending to them again but with the $25 this time. I'll say when I get it back!
SMDH. 3 weeks and ELEVEN days?
When I did it, it only took then 2 weeks and 18 days. But a friend of mine didn't hear back for four weeks and FOUR days?! Crazy how different everyone's experience is...

My favorite has to be with little shop revival on broadway. Sent note to the designer and pupetter for the plant who was the same as the original production In my note I told him memories of this being my first show ever when it was at the Orpheum and asked for a playbill signed.
In turn he sent some of his penciled designed plant drawings for the revival, some stage manager notes for him and other goodies in addition to the playbill.
I like unusual stuff from shows and have cast sign in sheet that rent sent and show notes from lion king.
When I want to splurge I have bought the complete signed season opening night playbill set from the equity fight aids site. It is expensive to frame and takes up s lot of wall space but looks amazing to have the entire signed year. Perhaps not as fun from a surprise stand point as sending to casts directly.

I received a cast signed playbill from waitress a couple of weeks ago. They didn't ask for a donation, but I think I sent it back in October.
after 3 months of waiting I finally heard back from Stephanie J. Block, and she sent me back a full cast signed Falsettos playbill! So thankful!!
Has anyone tried Paramour? I really want to send one before it closes.
