Will she always be at the theatres, as a producer, like Sophie Lawrence was at All The fun Of The Fair, even though she was chereographic.

No. She presumably will not be back unless it is a planned-closing (or perhaps to see Patina's final performance before the show transfers to NY - if it does). Producers are generally never there, unless they are specifically part of something that would require them to be there, or general check-ups. (Examples: Elaine Paige produced "Anything Goes" back in 1989 and was starring in it as well - thus, she was there everynight; same goes for Michael Crawford in "Dance of the Vampyrs" in 2003 on Broadway) No members of the creative team are there every night / even frequently past preview performances / only before the official press opening, simply because there is no real need for them to be there.

I see her point but it would have done wonders for publicity and kept people happy.

What? This is bologna! Dolly Parton did this once at '9to5' and she was there for like an hour +. And what publicity? I would think a general thought would be "Oh well, I wasn't expecting to get her autograph anyway."

I also, for one, think that the chasing the car is creepy. I believe you said she was "fragile"...I'd be too if someone was chasing after my car in the nighttime and they knew who I was......!

She didnt sign when I got there (when she was leaving) as she signed going in (before I was there). However there were 20vor 30 people waiting when she arrived and she signed for all of them. My friend got 3 off her, as did many other people.
