Sent to Hadestown in April and still haven’t heard back. But, on that subject, has anyone had any success with Patrick Page?

From Hadestown: Sent May 11th, received June 25. From Oklahoma: Sent May 11th, within 10 days. From The Prom: Sent June 11th, received within 10 days. Sent WTCMTM past Saturday- not heard back yet.
Wrote to THE CHER SHOW, KING KONG, BEETLEJUICE. Heard back from all three today and received cast signed playbills from all three. All three took 11 days and no donation was required.
NOTE TO ANYONE WITH BEETLEJUICE SIGNED PLAYBILLS: mine was signed with gold paint pen, which is literally rubbing off when I rub the signatures. so I will have to Matt it in a special frame to protect the signatures. Just wanted to give other people a heads up in case theirs was signed the same way and they wanted to preserve the signatures. I'm still over the moon to have the playbill, just wish they had used a regular sharpie of some color instead of paint pen which a lot of times doesn't like to stick to slick surfaces like the gloss on a playbill. Lol. The playbill cover has a really bad ass design tho!!
Does anyone know if shows still in previews send Playbills? I sent to Moulin Rouge a few weeks ago, before previews finished. On that note, has anyone heard back from Moulin Rouge?

Has anyone sent to Damon Daunno and heard back?"
I sent to Oklahoma about a week ago with a donation-less Playbill request, and just got a letter back in the mail requesting a donation. So yes, donation required, but only for cast signed.
This may not qualify as "getting stuff back," but here's my story, anyway.
In 1969 London, I saw on stage Ginger Rogers in "Mame" and Betty Buckley in "Promises, Promises". I kept the programs for each show. Flash forward to the early 1990's, and I met Miss Rogers at a book signing of her autobiography. She signed my "Mame" program. Then, a few years ago, I met Miss Buckley at a CD signing, and she signed my "Promises, Promises" program. It was quite a thrill to have a few minutes to chat with these super stars so many years after I enjoyed their performances in the West End.
At the time, I served onboard a U.S. Navy ship stationed in Scotland, and I well remember the intense publicity surrounding Miss Rogers. Here's a bit of it.

I wrote to Beetlejuice about a month ago with a signed playbill request and got one without a donation. Maybe it depends whose hand the request lands in or something.
