Again, just because someone smiles and appears sweet doesn't mean that they actually want to talk to you or are happy that they were stopped on their way to work. I'm not claiming that there's no possible way that she actually enjoys speaking with fans before the show and while still wanting to avoid them after the show, but I still think that if she genuinely wanted to meet her fans, she'd see them at the stagedoor in the traditional setting.
And honestly, I've been to the Drowsy stagedoor multiple times. I've never seen it extremely crowded; it's hardly a mob scene, and Drowsy isn't the type of show that invites mob scenes at the stagedoor (like Wicked or Rent) anyway. She doesn't come out the stagedoor because she doesn't want to sign autographs. Period.
Look, I LOVE Sutton. I think she's a wonderful performer. However, the "I stopped her on her way to work and she was nice" excuse really doesn't work - not to mention that there have been a handful of people who stopped her on her way to work and felt she was less than approachable. I've seen way too many people put the woman on a pedestal.
