Tuna2 said: "Has anyone gotten anything back from 'Springsteen On Broadway'? I sent a Playbill and a nice letter to the Walter Kerr Theatre on 4/9/18 requesting Bruce to sign the Playbill and include one of his guitar picks. I did include a self-addressed stamped envelope as well. Haven't gotten anything back as of yet."

 

I wouldn't wait by the mailbox. They haven't responded since they opened.

Just the pick? Why not ask for the whole guitar?

That is a great value. Sent at the end of April and waiting to hear back.

Yes! I heard back from My Fair Lady and received a full cast signed Playbill.
"

Evans2, did you need a donation for My Fair Lady?


I feel silly asking this, but when you guys say to include a self addressed, stamped envelope, what do you normally include? A regular letter envelope for a general reply, or a padded envelope that can hold a Playbill flat, etc? I've never done anything like this before and am unsure of the protocol. 

Also, how do you even find out if a donation is required for a show? Do they make that information known somewhere?

Hey! I'm not sure if My Fair Lady requires a donation. I tend to always include a donation when asking for a cast signed Playbill.

Plenty of shows do not require donations. Off the top of my head, Come From Away doesn't require a donation. There's not a formal place to look who requires a donation or not. I would follow this thread and read back a few pages. That will give you a better sense.  You can also write to the stage manager and ask if the show requires a donation for a signed Playbill.

Okay, so I sent to Iceman yesterday, but didn't know that they needed a donation. Do they still need one for an unsigned Playbill?

 

As for My Fair Lady, I wrote about 2.5 weeks ago, and still nothing. I know it's short, but I was wondering how long it took some of you guys?

When I mailed out my SASE for Hello, Dolly I sent an envelope large enough to hold the playbill. You address it to yourself , obviously, which for me cost under a dollar bc it is going from NY to NJ, then you put that in a larger envelope addressed to the theatre of your choice.

As far as a donation, I really don't know. Anything substantial and reasonable should be suffice. In other words, five, ten dollars - though any amount is worthy - would not probably get a response back (but guaranteed would be cashed of course Who Have You Gotten Stuff Back From?

So....got back my SASE today from Hello,  Dolly - EMPTY!! They mailed back an empty, open, crinkled SASE. Needless to say, the check was cashed 4 days after I mailed it to the Shubert. First time I've attempted requesting a signed playbill - and last. I feel a bit foolish, also, in a way. Never again. I'll stick to ebay from now on...or in-person transactions. Oh well, live and learn.

Hi all!

Anyone have luck with "The Boys in the Band"? If so, how much is being asked for as a donation?

Thank you! :)

I've never written to individual actors - is it normal to request a signed playbill from them too?

 

Also, anyone know how long it takes Book of Mormon to write back? I sent out playbill requests to them and lobby hero 2 weeks ago now and still haven't heard back and i am impatiently waiting lol

I've only ever written to individual actors. It can take a while, but I've never not gotten a response/signed playbill in return!

Take a picture and write to the stage manager over at the Shubert. Explain that your check was cashed and what happened. They should make it right. 

Same situation happened to a friend when requesting while Donna Murphy was in the show. He wrote and they corrected the problem.

Why not? You're probably one of the only people who's okay with spending $100 to get an empty envelope.

Quite the opposite - i just think it will fruitless to continue. First of all, how can I prove I did not get the playbill? They might just assume I'm 'requesting' another one. At least the money (hopefully) went to charity. I'll think about it. Or just check out ebay and see what they have. Just a bit disappointed. But I should have thought this might have happened.

Someone in this thread said that Laurie Metcalf does in fact respond and personalize Playbills!

I wrote to The Iceman Cometh about a month ago, I think, and I didn't include a donation, since I didn't know they required one. Just got my SASE back in the mail today telling me I need to donate $50 for the Playbill. Oh well. Not going to bother trying again, since I didn't REALLY want it.

Do you have the address for Andrew Rannells? I’ve been trying to find it and I can’t.
