Oh that makes me very happy. I've seen him in Drowsy and Curtains and he is absolutely amazing. He's definently one of my favorite actors right up there with Raul Esparza. I asked for a signed headshot because I really want to get one framed for my wall. Last time I saw Curtains I had him sign my Drowsy LP and he was just so nice.

Ahh! Congratulations - you are SO lucky!
I'm debating whether or not to write to Raul. I honestly wouldnt know what to say, but I really like the headshot from the Company playbill.

Two weeks to hear back from Jonathan and less that 2 weeks for Raul. Brina-doll, have you still not gotten anything back from him? When did you mail him?
Broadway Legend Joined: 2/18/07
what did Raul write on his headshot? I LOVE that picture so much.
I think I'm going to write to him for one - I think it would be way too nerdy if I asked him to sign our stagedoor picture, lol
Broadway Star Joined: 7/24/06
I'm sure he wouldn't mind signing your stagedoor photo. But definently write to him. It couldn't hurt to try.
I'm not actually sure what he wrote. I think it says, "To Ben, with love from Bobby, Raul E Esparza". I'm not positive though.
I didn't necessarily "get it back", but while at Wicked in Chicago, I got a poster signed by the whole cast. I've also gotten many emails from Spring Awakening understudies Matt Doyle and Gerard Cononico.
Less than two weeks? lol, he must have nothing better to do. And yes, it looks like: "To Ben, with looove from Bobby, Raúl E. Esparza." Nice subtle quote from the show.
Write him; just say something nice.

I feel odd asking for a headshot. Do actors generally just have them laying around? I imagine it would get expensive after awhile.
Broadway Legend Joined: 2/18/07
that's a cute quote that he wrote for you.
I always feel like Kathy Griffin's Celine Dion fan friend who put post-its on the cds telling her what to write, "I love you because you loved me, Love Celine xo xo"
hehe.
I will probably write to him after the Tonys sometime. Poor Anthony Rapp probbaly got the three page typed letter from me and was like wtf...lol
Recently I've gotten a Headshot from Jessica-Snow Wilson. and on Monday I got a headshot from Jonathan Groff

rockabye, I'm sure they have a lot but they might run out of the same one once in awhile. I've heard of some ppl getting different headshots. Thats a good question tho, I dont know how it works
hey there
i made a closing card for the cast of THE PIRATE QUEEN (like a 'sorry youre closing' card, haha), and i was just wondering- who should i address it to?
like, im just not sure if i addressed the envelope to the cast if it'd get to them. so should i address it to the company manager or someone?
thank you!
I usually get a different headshot. Usually an older one that they probably have multiples of laying around. Sometimes they also have a "fun" headshot they send; off the top of my head, I can think of Lauren Molina and Lauren Pritchard.
also, got something back last week from Lisa Howard, took just under a year.

I think you can actually address it to "The Cast" - if you look back on this thread, I think someone has mentioned that, but I'm not sure what their exact wording was
I addressed the envelope to the "stage manager" and in less than one week, I receieved a signed Playbill from:
Grey Gardens (signed by Christine AND Mary Louise)which is something that I could not do in person. I could only get Christine's autograph in person....not Mary Louise)
Company
Both in less than one week...I'm actually amazed.
