JV, I'm not exactly sure how. It really surprised me. I must've mentioned something about it in my letter.
Well, WEBManBWay, that's very cool. He's very proud of Road Show, so I guess he must have been happy you're a fan.
And FosseBoi, check your PM's.
While I'm in this thread I might as well ask if ANYONE knows how to contact John Kander? I've been trying for months. I tried the Chicago stagedoor, I tried the Dramatists Guild- no luck. I should have tried the Cutains stagedoor when it was running, but I never thought of it. He seems like the nicest man and I'm such a fan of his work.

I'm sending out a bunch of envelopes with SASE envelopes inside. I'm addressing each envelope to a specific actor in each show with the theater's address. Is this correct? Also, in each envelope I wrote a short letter saying how wonderful they are etc.. and politely requesting a playbill signed. Is that ok? thank you

that's pretty much how you do it; and if you hand write the letter, it seems more touching

I sent my WSS request in February, and Just got it back 2 weeks ago. They Take forever, and are often unpredictable with mail I have a friend who got one back within 2 weeks, and it was in color signed by the whoel cast, and another friend who got on e back that was blank, torn, and with a rather rude not about how the cast did not sign playbills. Mine was in Black and White, signed byt the entire cast.

I wonder if Matt Cavenaugh will be sending back any requests since he is leaving West Side Story soon.
And after what flyinghighwithwicked said, I doubt I'll ever get mine back.
Today I received a "Finian's Rainbow" Playbill signed by Cheyenne Jackson.
It took about a month.

I'm writing to a few shows that are on tour. I heard that some Playbills in other citys are not the same size as the usual kinds. Would it be fine if I just send my SASE that is the size of a regular Playbill? And if anyone know which cities has irregular sized Playbills, please tell me.
EDIT(8:57): Also, since I live near the city, who should I give my package to if I just want to give the letter in person. (So I won't have to pay postage. :/)
