Okay, so this is kinda of Ironic, But received a disappointing failure from Broadway show ‘How to succeed in Business (without really trying)’ yesterday after a 150 day wait. {down}

Requested a cast-signed playbill, but thanks to all the scalpers and “Evilbayers” out there who were selling them for profit the show got slammed with so many requests that their now sending our SASE’s back with a typed note that states:

“Thank you for your request for a signed Playbill from the current Broadway Production of How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

As you might imagine, we receive an overwhelming amount of requests and regret that we are unable to keep up with the demand. We sincerely appreciate your interest and hope you’ll come see the show! If you already have, please keep up with online at howtosucceedbroadway.com

Best Regards.

Stage Management, How To Succeed”

Yes, please give us more details about your friend! I too sent a request to Daniel, and it'd be amazing if we all heard back!

My Friend sent on February 26th 2011 & Received it July 28th 2011. Daniel sent all his items back unsigned but included this photo that was signed!!! Pretty sure he sent it to the play address like the rest of us did!

That is a nice photo..I'd be happy with that rather than nothing..maybe because he got so many requests to him..hes just signing these photos and whomever is helping is putting one of them in our SASE's with the stuff we sent. It would make it a lot quicker to answer them all.

Ryan can ya confirm with your friend that it was to the play. Judging by the date he sent..it would seem so. I'm so hopeful I get mine back!

That's nice. But it's a shame you couldn't get a signed Playbill, that would've been better.

On the other hand, looks like Daniel's signature hasn't changed much since 2001. Just messier... :)
