Wicked OBC chain mail autograph collection....

Unread post by Emi89 »

haha best title ever... :lol:


ok, let me explain

i'm a big fan of wicked, especially the OBC, though i never got the chance to see them in person since i live in london

i have 2 OBC playbills (so i have one safe if i do attempt this)
i was wondering if it would be possible to send a playbill from london to somewhere to get it signed by a member of the cast and include means to forward it to the next person so on and so on until it got sent back to me in london? (as apposed to sending it to someone, getting it all the way back here.. sending it out again and risking losing the autograph already on it etc etc) i think once it got going the cast memebers and people involved might find it quite amusing and try to help out, (like the things where people put a teddy bear on a plane and send it all over the world and get people to take photos i'm sure you've heard of something similar)

i just wonder if something like this is possible... and how to go about setting it up in the original package...

i had thought about providing stamps and the next addresses on sticky labels which could then be stuck over the ones on the original envelope to get it to the next destination .. but i wonder if that would be too complex
i thought about numbering the addresses, though i suppose they could just pick out one at random and it'd be fine as long as i mark my return address with red marker to make it obvious that that one would send it back to london (i'd also mark the sticker with the stamps to get it back to london too) i could enclose a laminated letter explaining what this package was doing and that it would hopefully be circulating around the cast (this letter would be left in the package to be seen by each subsequent person), and then also enclose an enveloped letter for each cast member (or their people haha) to open once the package got to them...

putting in seperate envelopes for each person i think would be even more confusing as everything would have to be transferred into different envelopes and it'd cost more to get it places because thered be mroe bulk in the package


i realise this sounds like a very complicated "mission" haha but do you think it could work?
my hope was that its one of those things that people might get behind to try and get it to work because its an inventive way of going about it

i'd also need help finding addresses that still work for each of the cast members ;-)

any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!
