Posted: 6/12/08 at 11:45pmI wrote to Orfeh about 1.5 weeks ago, and I got a signed playbill, and two personalized pics from her yesterday. Yay :)!

Posted: 6/13/08 at 8:13amSeems like everyone's got something special! What did you guys write in the letter? Do you think Chris Fitzgerald would get pissed if I asked him if he felt intimidated by all the taller people? LOL xD I would write to him, and Sutton, and Laura Bell Bundy, and soooooo many others. Do we just gush to them or we gotta have a real question?

Posted: 6/13/08 at 9:52amSgt ~ I usually write about something in a performance that especially touched me. That way it's personal and they know I'm not just a collector looking for more autographs when I really don't know anything about their performances. I've never really asked a question. More just admiration for their work.
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 11:28pmOk...now I have a question. I've never sent a playbill before but need to now. How many stamps should I put on the envelopes do you think?

2 or 3 is what I usually do. Two if it's a smaller cast/lighter, or 3 if it's something like Les Miserables where the playbill is bigger. Hope that helps?!
And it's been about 2 months for me with Sunday and about a month for Catered. I doubt I'm going to get anything back. Or maybe I'll be suprised. Oh well!?

jordangirl - 2 stamps will be just fine. That's what i've always put on mine when requesting one. I have never actually sent out a playbill to be signed - i've always just asked for one, and they've always sent it 
! Usually I'll ask for a signed playbill and a signed picture, and about 90% of the time I've received both.
SgtDonut- Many of the performers I've written to, I have never seen perform in real life. I just usually like the show they're in, or something like that. (I live in MN, so seeing shows in NYC isn't exactly the easiest). Anyway, I try to look for video clips of them performing online so I can comment on their performance in some way. I always have a boatload of questions - they always go unanswered, but it fills up writing space. Lastly be sure to ask for an autographed picture, or whatever you're interested in receiving. Include a self addressed stamped enveloped (6"x9" is fine - 2 stamps if you want a playbill, 1 stamp if you want a pic). You can fold the envelope sideways and stick it into a business sized envelope with your letter. I'm telling you all this because I was clueless when I first started writing, and it took a while to find out all the info i needed to know. Anyway - it's a fun hobby :)! Feel free to PM me if you have any Q's. GOOD LUCK!

Posted: 6/16/08 at 3:18pmI JUST checked the mailbox, and received a signed picture from Dee Roscioli!!! I was sure I wasn't going to get anything from her. She was one of the 1st people I wrote to back in March, but I didn't sent a SASE! Woohoo! Now i've received something from all 3 sets of Elphabas and Glindas in NYC, Chicago, and LA - well, current as of April.

I got the same thing! I got the top half with the Quote & top part of the head and on the bottom/center part it has "CARMELLO" in her auto......does yours just say Carolee at the top!? Weird!?

Generally, do you address the envelope to one of the stars, or the stage manager or something?
Anyone got anything from South Pacific or Cheyenne?
