The address is valid until November I believe for anyone interested!
I recently wrote to her too...I've written to her before so I hope I get something back! I've sent a picture before, so I sent $$ this time in hopes for a Marguerite programme!
Great success none-the-less...my second favourite Fantine! Patti LuPone is still my favourite...on recording. Judy Kuhn is my favourite though!
She's a fantastic Ellen in Miss Saigon too

Thank you... Patti LuPone is indeed a wonderful Fantine. Ruthie was the first one that I listened to, so I think that influenced my favorite... plus, I love what she does with her voice when she dies. Amazing.
I'm assuming that you saw Judy Kuhn when she was in the show earlier this year. I'm quite jealous... I was able to catch it during the summer when Lea Salonga was playing Fantine, but unfortunately she (and Ann Harada, who I also went to see) were both out that night. The understudies were amazing, though.
Good luck in your aspirations to get a "Margeurite" programme! I'm sending out my "Les Misérables" CD insert from the 10th Anniversary Concert CD already signed by Judy Kuhn for her to sign, so here's hoping that she'll sign for both of us again!

Yes...I went back for a fourth time just to see Judy Kuhn (she's def. one of my favourite Broadway actresses EVER!) and paid $111.50 for the third to last row of the balcony for her! I wasn't into TTM autos until about a month after Les Mis closed (:() so I never got her autograph (I expected to stage door). Did you send to her via the Broadhurst to get that signed or do you know of an address..!?
And that's too bad you missed on Lea Salonga & Ann Harada. I saw them both three times! And that's suprising for Lea Salonga..she had a great track record for not missing performances

Wow... you're very lucky that you get to see that many shows. I go to New York with my family every summer for three days and catch three shows. It's proving exceptionally hard to choose those shows this summer (we have tickets for "In the Heights" and "Gypsy" so far), but I was certainly ready to fly back and buy more "Les Misérables" tickets, if only to try and catch Lea Salonga and Ann Harada again. It's funny... I was interested primarily in the two sets of Fantines and Madame Thénardiers, because after those two left came Judy Kuhn and Jenny Galloway, two more people I would loved to have seen. Oh, well... I got TTM successes from all of them except Lea, so I'm happy (as to your question... yes, I did write to Judy Kuhn at the Broadhurst).

I'm going to send you a PM about how I see so many shows :p!
And I only saw 7 shows last year (a little less than I would have liked). Les Miserables 4 times, Wicked, Spamalot & Phantom of the Opera...all on Broadway (for once!). I usually catch some touring shows but NONE last year! I only paid full price for 2 of them though :o0o0o!
