Last August, I wrote to her while she was at the Palladium Theatre for "sister act". I didn't get any reply but I understand she had to go back home as her mum died.
She came back in October so I wrote to her again. I didn't get any reply. I say it is a failure as somebody posted a success which meant she was back in the USA.
I went to see her last performance for Sister Act but it was chaos at the stage door so I left (couldn't take any risks as I have health problems).
i wrote to her also at the London Palladium but never heard anything i guess she was inundated with post. her mum was ill the first time she went home. why not try writing to her via the USA address in the database? i wrote there a few days ago and am keeping fingers crossed
"why do people take a gamble and try people vv when their agency address works? lol"
Er, because if someone lives in the UK and the venue is also in the UK it costs about £0.80 for stamps there and back rather than about £4.50 to write to the USA?
I have an extraordinarily high success rate via venue and the responses tend to come back very quickly, just a couple of weeks ago two days from someone on tour at the moment who is notoriously impossible to get via their agent (and they wrote a note on the letter and included their own photo as well; and n the case of a American singer/legend on tour, received just yesterday, sent wednesday last week.
I've started writing to people via the theatre in my home town. There is not much to do here, but in common with a lot of very dull English towns there is an absolutely amazing theatre which attracts a fantastic variety of artistes. They even filmed an episode of Doctor Who in it). I cycle or drive past the theatre twice a day on my way to and from work, so the only outlay is for a photo (unless I pop in and pick up a flyer) and a stamp on the return envelope. I'm on friendly terms with the ladies on the stage door, who see me as a harmless eccentric, so I even get a vicarious social life out of it. There is also the discipline of having to write letters to deadlines, not to mention never running out of people to write to, and writing to people who one might never have thought of writing requests to via their agents.
There are all sorts of reasons why people do different things, and any number of ways to skin a cat.

but still. i have a high rate of VV successes as well, however if i know the agency address works i wont send the vv because thats a risk im taking with my money and my photo and stamps. when its someone production compsny you cant go wrong
why do people take a gamble and try people vv when their agency address works? lol
As it's been said above, I wrote to her via venue because I live in the UK and it was simple to write to her there.
but like someone already said above, for whoppi & VV: its either a hit or a miss...
I am still not entirely clear whether or not you have taken on board the fact that Myself205 and myself HappinessStan are in the UK, and the Palladium thatre is in the UK, and consequently Whoopi Goldberg was also in the UK at the time she was appearing there?
I also think that if we don't agree now it is probably best to agree to differ on this one.
