Just had a signed photo from Lea Salonga and a signed Les Miserables Playbill signed by Gary Beach, Alex Gemignani, Jenny Galloway, Lea Salonga, Megan McGinnis, Norm Lewis, Ali Ewoldt & Celia Keenan Bolger :) yay
Yesterday I recieved a Signed Spring Awakening Playbill From Lea Michele.
Just today, I had a signed Homer Photo from Dan Castellaneta. Took him about 9 months to respond.
Ain't that suprising, 3 responses in 3 days :) lol
Last thursday I got Kendra Kassebaum mail.

Belle_and_Tobias when did you write to Lea? I wrote her while Spring Awakening was still in previews. Nothing yet.
Mikeyb: How did you get a playbill signed by so many of the cast? Did you write a letter to the cast, or was it something you asked Lea for? I have signatures from most of the cast from the stagedoor, but Jenny Galloway always seems to duck and run, so have never caught her. Would love a playbill signed by her and some of the rest of the cast.
NJRae: I did send a letter to the theatre. I put it attention to the company manager. I asked him if he could send me a signed playbill by some of the cast members. I also enclosed a photo of Lea as Eponine and asked if he could ask her to sign it. I sent it not long ago and had it back yesterday. So I was happy when i recieved it. :) So your best bet is to put it attention to the Company Manager. He helped me, so I'm sure he'll help you :)
Mikey, you're a pro. How many hours a week do you devote to writing letters? You are impressive.

Nothing from Bob yet. I know this might be a stupid question, but does anyone know when he left for London or if he would still get mail from the Marquis?
Bettyboy72 - Thanks for the nice comment :) It takes me about over 3 hours to write, only because I write to more than 1 person. Like back in February, I wrote to 12 people which took me about a week and a bit. Sure, my hand gets a little cramped but to me it's worth it because I feel that I should let my favourite performers (i.e. Idina Menzel & Kerry Ellis) know how I admire their work in Musical Theatre and how I wish them the very best for the future.
I love all the letters I write to people but I think out of every person I have written to (totaled so far 52) my favourite would have to be Ashley Brown for when she made her debut in BATB. I felt at the time that I should write to her telling her I very much praise her for making her debut so successful. About a month later, I hear back from her saying thank you so much and that my letter eas the sweetest thing she had ever read, it made her day according to her 3 sided leter. Such a sweethart :)
Writing to 1 person though would take me about 20 Minutes.
BDavies - Re to your letter. I would have to say wait for a little while longer, possibly until May. the reason I say this is because if you send it to the Marquis, it could be unlikely for Bob to respond seeing as he and Elaine Paige would be in rehearsals and getting prepared for the London Production and that they possibly would want to settle into the characters first. So my advice to you would be to wait until May for when the previews start at the Novello Theatre.
The address is
The Novello Theatre
"The Stage Door"
Aldwych
London, WC2B 4LD
England
UK.
Hope this is of any use to you :) Any problems, let me know.
Wow, I didn't realise I had quite a few words to say, lol
mrs felciano: I Wrote to Lea on Feb 5
If mail arrives at a theatre after a person has left the show, it is usualy RTS.

Thanks mikey but I sent the letter two weeks ago to the Marquis and I was wondering if he would still get it. If I don't get anything back I will wait and mail another to that adress. Thank you.
So if I would want to get Ashley Brown's autograph whats her fan address or do I send the letter directly to the address of New Amsterdamn Theater? I heard that if you send your playbill also to the Gerswhin Theater you could get the whole entire cast autographs? just wondering?!?!?!
My mom sent me a copy of my birth certificate for my files. Does that count?

Has anyone been successful with anyone from the Les Miz revival cast?
If so, who?
And how long did it take?
Kim 4 - I have been successful with getting stuff back from the revival cas of Les Miserables. I had a signed photo from Lea Salonga and a signed Playbill from the follwing;
Jenny Galloway
Gary Beach
Lea Salonga
Alexander Gemignani
Ali Edwolt
Celia Keenan Bolger
Megan McGinnis
Norm Lewis.
I requested the programme and photo from the Company Manager of Les Mis. It took a month for me to get something back from them. Possibly because I live in the UK and it takes 5 days to recieve something from USA and that the Manager is probably busy.
Attention of The Company Manager
"Les Miserables Broadway Revival
c/o The Broadhurst Theatre - "The Stage Door"
235 West 44th Street
New York City
NY 10036
Also the best thing to get a quick response is to include a SASE. The Manager helped me, so I am sure he/she will help you :)
Good Luck! :)
Elphie4ever - Apparantly from what I have heard, the New Amsterdam Theatre is possibly the only address that you can write to Ashley.
Address is as follows;
Ashley Brown
Mary Poppins Musical
c/o The New Amsterdam Theatre - "The Stage Door"
214 West 42nd Street
New York City
NY 10036
In reference to your other question, it is a possibility that you can get yours signed by the cast, or certain members of your choice. It happened with me last year. I sent a playbill and requested and asked for it to be signed by Eden Espinosa & Jenna Leigh Green, and they were more than happy to do so. So in your letter, just let them know who you want the Playbill signed by.
Good Luck! :)
my choir teacher said that Nathan Lane sent her a program signed after she wrote to him saying that he was wonderful in "The Producers". I believe he wrote a letter as well.

I still havn't recieved my playbill back. I sent it to Bob Martin at the Marquis over 3 weeks ago. He's probablly not even in the US now. My playbill could be anywhere. And I sent him my good Drowsy playbill. Oh well.
^ aww that saddens me. I feel bad because everyone told me that Hunter would write back, and I got really emotional and everything when I wrote the letter, and he never responded. Sadness.
can anyone give me the address for John Tartaglia at Beauty and the Beast? I made him a picture of Rod and I wanted to send it to him. Thanks
Today: signed photo from John Lloyd Young with a note
Yesterday: Signed Photo From John Gallagher Jr.

Belle_and_Tobias - I kind of hate you! I wrote to Lea AND John Gallagher wayyyyy back when it was in previews and still haven't heard from them. Hmph. Hopefully I hear from them soon though! Yay for you!

How long did John Gallagher take to reply, Belle_and_Tobias?
I wrote to Groff, Gallagher, and Lea in early February. Got Groff in about a week and a half, still waiting on the other two.
