There's really two kinds of casts...like ATOTC and LB.
The cast of A Tale of Two Cities is soooooooooo nice and seem excited about the show which is awesome (since theres some doubters out there!), especially Brandi Burkhardt who was talking to me for a little while.
The cast of Legally Blonde is very up in the air, totally depending on what day you go, random. Christian Borle (Emett) and Kate Shindle (Vivienne) just about NEVER come out. Kate does not sign TTM either. Orfeh and Bailey Hanks (Elle) do NOT come out after matinees. So usually after a matinee, I really only had some ensemble members and the actress playing Brooke (Nicolette Hart), and Ven Daniels, the UPS guy.
I didn't wait around long enough at the ATOTC stagedoor, because I only really came for two...Natalie Toro (Madame DeFarge) and Brandi Burkhardt (Lucie).
After you exit, you should get in line where the barricades are set up. Most of them are easy to find, either to the left or to the right of the main entrance (some exits take you out the back, outside and then to the front again). Some are totally complicated. LEGALLY BLONDE/The Palace Theatre is one such, where if you leave through the main doors, you have to wrap around where the Double Tree is on 47th. Or if you leave the theatre on the street doors towards the left (when looking at the stage) it's right there. That one actually says "STAGE DOOR" on it. The Hilton (Young Frankenstein) is another one, where you have to leave through the right exit or walk all the way from 42nd to 43rd. Never did it for that one, though from what I hear the cast is similar to LB's...not always going to come out. I have no idea for the Mariott Marquis, but nothings playing right there anyway!
Some people stagedoor without seeing hte show, which I guess is OK. I mean I don't know what you'd say to them but whatever...you just need to find out how long the show is, so for instance 2hrs 30 minutes (generally all are give or take 15) and then usually about 10 minutes after that you start to see the ensemble members come out, although for ATOTC one of the stars was the frist to come out so you never know!
That sounds... complicated O.o So you have to go to a particular area huh? I'll try and decipher what you wrote haha. I'm thinking of maybe TLM, POTO, and... hm... and yeah
Thanks though
