Writing to Bway stars questions...

Ive decided to dedicate the rest of my night writing to people on Broadway (I have so many too *Sherie Rene Scott, Shosh, J.LA, Carole Shelley, Sutton Foster, Victoria Clark, Sara Ramirez, Norbert Leo Butz, Maureen McGovern, John Ligthgow.....*)
Anway, I was wondering what I should say (if I want a signed headshot, should I ask for it?) and how the envelope's address should read (I think I know...just wanna make sure).

Also, what are the zip codes for Bway Theaters. I used to know but I totally forgot. :)

It depends what theatre.... most of them have different zip codes, unless they're right near each other.

I know off the top of my head that the Imperial and Shubert are 10036. Actually, off the top of my head, the Shubert is: 225 West 44th St. I believe the Virginia is 10019.

Bump.

How do I write the address on the envelope? And if I want a headshot in return, do I send another envelope so that they can send the headshot back?

re: Writing to Bway stars questions...

SASEs (Self Addressed Stamped Envelopes) are pretty standard if you'd like something back

You should forward the address to the actor/esses name first, then the address of the theatre. Even past stars, as well. If you forwarded a letter to Idina, the Gerswhin would probably send it to the respective place. Like so...
Idina Menzel (Or Sho, or JLT, whoever)

c/o The Gershwin Theatre

222 W. 51st St.

New York, NY 10019


If you want a headshot, send an extra envelope that's stamped and addressed to where they want it send it to.










Disclaimer: I've never written a letter to a "Broadway star" before, so please don't kill me over this information, because it's probably wrong.


This is my signature.

48th on up are 10019

10036 goes to 40th, I believe. In midtown, anyway. Once you start going East and West the zips change. It's just like any other city.

If you are requesting something, always send a SASE -- it's common courtesy.

And yes, the correct way to write to someone is: (example)

Sara Ramirez
c/o The Shubert Theatre Stage Door
225 West 44th Street
New York, NY 10036

Some stars are different. Idina sent her photo in her own envelope and that gave me an idea of the Wicked casts size envelope so I would send a smaller one. I sent one too small to Barrett Foa of Avenue Q and he sent it back to me inside his bigger envelope. They are NORMALLY nice about it. But if you want a photo, it doesnt hurt to ask. But expect a few weeks for a response. And most of the time all you will recieve is a photo back and not a written response, but again, depends on the performer.

Enclose a 9x12 envelope with the proper postage. I've worked for people who won't respond without that.

They're doing you a favor - make it as easy as possible for them (or, more likely, their very busy assistants) and you'll get the best response.

Along those lines--i wrote to two composers who currently have a musical playing (not Mark!) I was floored--they both replied with gracious hand-written thank you notes.

From personal experience, let me add:

Be very careful what you write. It is amazing how someone can misinterpret your message with unexpected consequences.

If you go to playbill.com, it has a list of all the shows playing with the cast AND the theatre address. On all of them. You always have the address.
