how to meet the famous again...

Ok, I am going to see Wicked and Little Shop of Horrors when I visit NY for Thanksgiving. I want more than anything to go backstage and meet the cast of Wicked. Anyone can just meet them outside the stage door, I would love to be one of those special few people who get to go backstage. Unfortunately I have no connections. I thought I might write to Kristen Chenoweth, Idina Menzel of Norbert Leo Butz, and see if they would let me, being that I'm a HUGE fan of all of theirs. I've also heard that you can give a man at the stage door a note to a star and see if they will let you come back. Does this really work? PLEASE help me achieve my dream! Lemme know what you think, and what would be my best bet. Thanks again!

I've never written to an actor or actress requesting a backstage visit, but I know people who have. It couldn't hurt. Any time I've been backstage or onstage it's been because I had a friend in the company. Good luck and let us know what happens

Whenever I have gone backstage of a show it has been due to writing to the performers...I never really asked to go backstage, I only mentioned that I would love to meet them after the show, and somehow I wound up going backstage a few times...It hasnt worked all the time, but many times...

Master LCZ,

Are you sure that I don't know you from my past performing days???

Marcy, Muriel, are you out there? At first I thought it was Viv, but I was mistaken!

Love,

Miriam

PS Did you hear about the revival of EARLY TO BED?
