I emailed Sara too. How long did it take?
I felt bad emailing her asking for one too..but she must not mind that much if she has an email up for fanmail!

It took almost 2 months, I sent the email on July 28. and I honestly wasn't expecting anything, and true, I still feel bad though.

Today I heard from Angela Lansbury :)
She even sent two pictures! Only one was personalized. I asked for it for my mother for my birthday. She sent me letter back too..which I found kind of odd.
I just got a signed Elphaba picture from Eden Espinosa. Yay!

Eden gets back? how long did it take?
It took about a month or a little less - not bad.
You all were talking about how to save stamps that were not marked, i didnt see this thread till today so if you guys still dont know how to save those I will tell you.
I used to collect so I read alot about to get them off the envelope.
When you get something back and the stamp is not used cut the stamp off of the envelpe, leave about 1/4 in around it, then after you have it cut off put it in some water, let it set in the water for about 5 mins, dont put it stamp side down, put the paper sod down, after it had sat in the water for a while the paper from the envelope shoud come off, if it doesn't come off easy out it back in the water got a little longer.
After you have gotten the paper off the back, put in on a towel and fold one side of the towel over the stamp and put a book or something on top, then let it dry.
All you have to do id glue it on the next envelope you send out.
Hope that helped some.

I heard from Lenny Wolpe. He sent a headshot with a nice message written on it. The weird thing is he also included many advertisements for a cruise to alaska.. it was odd.
I ended up in an e-mail conversation with Stephen Schwartz about the recording of "Wicked" in 2003 and 4 days later, I found an autographed copy of the CD from him in my mailbox. What a nice surprise!

I got a signed photo from Matthew Broderick a few days ago (sent it to The Odd Couple when it was open).
Although he must not have liked the way I folded my envelope since it was sent back in a different one.

Is anyone else waiting on Derrick Baskin? I sent it out about 6 months ago. Maybe he'll wait until he leaves the show to get everything out like Celia did. That's when I sent hers too. I'm just worried because I sent my "Aida" playbill for him to sign and it's my only copy!

I sent Daniel a letter exactly five months ago today. I don't think I'm getting anything back, lol.
I think, but I can't be sure that the other boys (Bobby and Christian) are good with their fanmail.

i got something from Carolee Carmello yesterday
it took her 1 week and a half, very short
she signed a headshot, and wrote me a letter on her MAMMA-MIA! stationary thanking me for the "Carolee cartoon" i drew for her which she hung on her dressing room door, and said she feels bad that the LESTAT recording isnt being released
i would post pictures, but my mom threw it away once i brought it inside, so yeah
Carolee gets back
I just recently had an Autograph back from Idina Menzel. I also had an autograph back from Julia Murney with a note on the back of the photo, that was sweet of her. I also have a signed programme from London WICKED. Helen Dallimore, Martin Ball & Idina Menzel, baring in mind I went to the Stage Door.
I have written multiple emails to JLY.
I also just wrote to Hunter, but I haven't gotten anything back yet. But I did only send it on Tuesday/Wednesday.
I also write to the Altar Boyz on myspace. (Jason Celaya and Andrew C. Call) They are really nice and awesome too. :)

this might sound awkward but i write to understudies if they were really good
i saw Matthew Scott as Tommy DeVito In Jersey Boys and he was just glowing. he was just as great as Christian (Hoff)
so i wrote him a letter telling him how great he was.
about 2 or 3 weeks later i got this really big envelope with a playbill signed by all the cast members and one of those slips that are in the playbll that say he played the role
i got the cutest letter from him
it was beyond sweet
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/20/05

Has anyone tried writing the SF Bee cast? I'm thinking of writing them while they're still in Boston but I'm not sure.
I juts went and checked the mail and I got something from Josh Strickland.
I wrote him and ask him for a autogrpaged playbill or headshot and I ask him if he could send me sister a autographed picture, He sent me back two autographed pictures and two autogrpahed playbills, what a sweet guy!
oh and I got it back in less then two weeks.
