Thanks for the comments!

No, I don't have a complete list, but I can look at it and list some of the signatures.

Ryan, if you're actually curious (but in another thread you/the rest of everyone didn't seem interested), there are no celebrities in this one. Oh well (and I'm being sarcastic).

This talented company is led by Matt Cavenaugh (Broadway's Urban Coyboy (Title role), Grey Gardens & Harvey Feirstein's A Catered Affair (Ralph)) and Argentine actress Josefina Scaglione, Karen Olivo (In the Heights) and Cody Green (BRAVO's "Step Up & Dance" Winner), amongst others.

Full cast list and information for the Broadway revival of West Side Story at the Palace Theatre is available here:

West Side Story just opened to although mixed, some pretty positive reviews and is highly anticipated and labeled as the full-50th Anniversary production. It's open-ended, and thefore no closing notice has been posted. I believe it sold out the Palace Theatre this past week, which is one of the largest on Broadway, so you really don't have anything to worry about sending wise.

Shaun...don't you live in London or England? Mostly people who write for playbills are from the United States (as many international folk have no idea what it is).

Unfortunately, plenty of stagemanagers/shows do NOT respond internationally - while plenty of them do.
