i love to go and get autographs after the shows, and i was just wondering who some of the nicer actors and actresses were? For future knowledge.

I have heard that David Hyde Pierce is very gracious at Spamalot.

Also, Norbert Leo Butz is typically very nice.

Now - all that being said - I really only replied to this thread to tell you how much I love your username. :)

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Matt Morrison [currently working on Appian Way], Kelli O'Hara, Victoria Clark, Michael Berresse are very sweet and nice to everyone.

David Hyde Pierce, Chris Sieber, Sara Ramirez... the entire cast of Spamalot is very nice.

Sandra Joseph was really nice at POTO... instead of writing everyone, I'll make a pretty generalized statement. MOST Broadway stars are very nice and gracious to their fans...

The entire cast of Avenue Q
The entire cast of RENT (from when I saw it - Cary, Matt, Kelly, Karmine, D'Monroe, Destan (sp?))
Greg Jbara (haven't met him but heard he's suuuuuch a sweet guy)
Roger Bart
Gary Beach

Basically, I've never encountered a non-nice Broadway person, well, unless you can count Melanie Griffith (sp? is it Griffin?). She just simply said "No" to autographs and pictures and skipped over to her limo.

2x's Dan Fogler from Spelling Bee (this summer) left through a different door of the theatre to miss the fans and to get to dinner. But from other people I've heard he's really nice when he does come out :)

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Cheyenne Jackson was really nice...

but the NICEST person I've met was Christopher Sieber...I now know how to work my digital camera because of him

The entire cast of All Shook Up is really nice and almost everyone signs automatically (you don't have to call them over or anything). I love that stage door.

G for T.
Dan Fogler comes out the real stage door on side of theater not through the lobby door.. It is not to escape anyone. He takes a few minutes longer to come out but if you are patient and don't mind waiting a few minutes, he not only signs, talks with fans, but takes pictures with everyone who asks.

Greg Jbara is fantastically nice.

Carolee Carmello is also quite lovely.

Greg Jbara has acquired the much-deserved reputation of being the nicest guy on Broadway. He could teach classes to others in how to do it.

Others include Chris Sieber, David Hyde Pierce, and Michael McGrath in Spamalot. They just give and give at the stage door!

the NICEST?? hmm...

the entire cast of Lennon, standbys included

Jenn Gambatese, Cheyenne Jackson, Sharon Wilkins, Leah Hocking... most of the ASU cast

Raul Esparza, Kevin Cahoon from Chitty

Billy Warlock was very nice at The Normal Heart

Matt Morisson, Jeff Martin, Liz Larsen, Yassmin Alers, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Jonathan Sharp, and Asa Somers were always sweethearts at The Rocky Horror Show

but the nicest overall would have to be Julie Danao-Salkin, Julia Murney, Terrence Mann, Will Chase, Mandy Gonzalez, Marcy Harriel, and Darin Murphy from Lennon. yeah, i already mentioned them. but they deserve it. =)

Ive always heard what a you-know-what Faye Dunaway is, but when I met her at MASTER CLASS, she couldn't have been nicer--she signed and shook hands with us and then took an ENORMOUS stack of memorabilia from two major fans to sign in her hotel room--she was MUCH nicer to them than I would have been--plus she was so little! She's the only person I've ever met at the backstage door--I waited for Bea, but the SM told me she didn't sign, although one of her cast members from Maude was there--a little perk!
