I dont understand why Broadway theaters only allow
Playbills to be signed when your trying to get a
celebrity's autograph outside the stage door of the
theater.

As long as the item is related to the actor or actresses'
acting career there shouldnt be a problem in getting it
signed.

i've got a few signed photos from broadway plays so i don't know what you mean

a lot of people won't sign VV while doing broadway plays, but still sign playbills. i heard somewhere that it is part of their contract
that they sign X amount of them for cast signed playbills. i have a friend who does broadway so i'll ask her

I think it may have been because the celebrity I wanted to meet (Scarlett Johansson) is not
a good signer. I think that it was her rule that she would only be signing Playbills.

celeberties do sign photos you send them to broadway theatres, like i've gotten Alan rickman, Raven symone, James earl Jones,John Lithgow, Danny devito, Daniel Radcliffe, and Tony Shalhoub have all signed photos I sent them when they were all on broadway so it just depends on the celb besides Scarlett joahansson has never been the best signer,and I've also seen people get photos signed be celebs when they sent to them on broadway.

Thanks. Yeah a friend of mine who has a ton of experience getting in person celebrity autographs
told me that a few minutes ago. He said that he got photos and movie memorabilia signed by
celebrities outside of Broadway theaters.

Have you ever gotten an autograph from Tom Hanks or Robert Downey Jr. in person ?
