With an International Reply Coupon, would the Stage Managers trade them in for American stamps, or would I just be ignored? Anybody know? Are there any Canadians with experience in this?
is it always best to address mail to the stage manager or does it differ between shows?
So, a few weeks ago I wrote letters to Jenna Russell and Daniel Evans. I didn't ask for headshots or playbills or anything and I didn't include an SASE. I just wanted to tell them how much I loved the show.
I just got home from vacation to find card from Daniel with a note on it thanking me for the letter and whatnot. It made me really happy.

Does Ms. Benanti and Ms. Larkin from Gypsy write back or send signed playbills?
I sent Laura a letter and a playbill and had the playbill back signed in less than a week.
I didn't send Laura a playbill, just a letter & SASE and she sent me a picture of her from a cabaret or something random (I think!)
And Leigh Ann was extremely nice...sent me a letter, "headshot" (it's not really a headshot haha) & a cast signed playbill. Really nice!
I have a signed 8x10 headshot of Becky Gulsvig that is framed and hanging in my room, and is one of my prized posessions. And me and my sister love Tracy Jai Edwards so I asked Tracy if she could send a headshot for my sis and she sent TWO 8x10 autographed headshots and this RIDICULOUSLY kind letter! All of which are framed :)
Today I got a signed headshot and flyer from Ben Daniels! The show had closed before he read my letter, so he didn't send me a playbill.
I got a response back from both Patti and Laura in just about a week. I also got a signed Boeing Boeing playbill from the stage manager in a matter of a few days!
It took 2 months but I got 2 signed photos from Laura Bell Bundy in the mail today. :)
My LBB took about a month & a half and came from Lexington, KY? Maybe she sends fanmail home?! I'm not sure!

4 signed photos and a sweet note from Briana Yacavone. I sent her a photo as well as asking for a headshot of her as Nessa. She sent them along with a signed 8x10 headshot and a photo card which she wrote on the back of it. That made my day. :)
I just got a signed headshot and note from Michael Berresse. He's so adorable.
Has anyone sent anything to the [tos] cast? Do they respond?

good luck if you decide to send anything!
I wrote to [tos] in their first week of previews and it took about 2 weeks for a response. And like amy said, they sent back a signed playbill :)
