YF took about 2-3 weeks. I wouldn't be worried at this point.

biggest CHENO fan, have you written to the Avenue Q cast in London yet? Get anything back?

Max, you said you received two pictures from Julie. Are they headshots that you are talking about? Also, do you live in the USA? If so, how did you do your SASE's? The post office doesn't do SASE for out of the country anymore.
Any ideas?

Edit: They give programs in London which are the equivalent to playbills in the US, right?

How about for writers? I want to have my script of August Osage County signed by Tracy Letts..but since he's not a part of the cast, should I try sending it anyway?

Wait a while and mail it to the Steppenwolf in Chicago, where Amy Morton is directing Tracy Letts' new play.

The strangest thing happened to me today. Last week I wrote to the Little Mermaid Stage Manager asking for a signed Playbill for my friend's birthday. Today I got my SASE back, empty! It was so weird! The people at the theatre just kind of sent back the empty envelope. Do you think I didn't have enough postage? I put 80 cents on the SASE..maybe it should be more? Help?

that is really weird. maybe they just forgot? hah. you only need 2 regular stamps on the SASE for a playbill


anyways, i got TLM and YF today!

For a head shot would it also be 2 stamps just like a playbill?

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 5:36pm

for headshots i use 1 stamp.

[jordangirl]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 5:42pm

I'm pretty sure the postage partially depends on the envelope size. One big enough for an UNFOLDED head shot would require extra postage ~ hence the difference the theatre or actor is having to make up on your stuff sgv123.

I probably put way too much on there, but I'd rather have too much than not enough.

[sgv123]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 5:51pm

yeah your probably right. i use 2 stamps for playbills and 1 for headshots and i have gotten stuff back for both ammounts of postage. i would probably put 2 on to be safe like jordangirl said.

The postal service (misnomer) now charges based on an algorithm that takes both size and weight into account. Better safe than sorry.

JKlock, should I just send for it again? lol

[tgn915]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 7:04pm

I always send one more stamp than needed, just to give the performer or whoever is receiving the letter room to be creative if they wanted to throw in a little somethin' extra.

I'm pretty sure YF and LM send out the playbills in a mass once they get a certain number of letters and I'm pissed because I obviously missed that cut! I just sent letters to the stage managers of those shows on Saturday so I guess I'll have to wait just a little longer.

Here's to patience! & the amount I lack!

Yeah just a question that wasn't answered for above...

When sending something toa London show should you include money for the "programs" or do actors get them there for free anyway? Becuase I remember hearing that they're not free over there...is this even true?!

[it'sjustshowbiz]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 7:23pm

^
Yes, you have to pay for the programs. They don't have anything like Playbills for free.

[philly03]

Posted: 2/6/08 at 7:27pm

So would you actually send them some money to cover the program as well!? And are they the general size of our playbill?

i got a signed playbill back from the little mermaid cast today! it took about a week, which i didn't expect. i thought it would take a lot longer, so i was really surprised!

[philly03]

Posted: 2/7/08 at 8:20pm

Today I got back a signed Phantom of the Opera playbill which only took a week! And I didn't have a big enough envelope for it so I just sent stamps so I really wasn't expecting it for a while!

I've just had a signed Glinda photo from Stacie Morgain Lewis and a signed Elphaba photo from Carmen Cusack :)

I got my Mary Poppins playbill in the mail today. Sent it in just last Saturday. Six days, phenomenal!

does anybody know if megan mullaly responds back?

[pc1145N2]

Posted: 2/8/08 at 7:04pm

Yes, Megan does respond back...and in less than a week. However, that was early in the run so things could have changed. I did get a response in 5 days.
