I'm assuming you're going to write to the Broadway production, currently starring Ashley Parker Angel and George Wendt? If so, yes they have no plans to change theatres. You can write at this address:

Stage Manager or Actor's Name
c/o Neil Simon Theatre
250 West 52nd Street
New York, NY 10019
US

Enjoy!

Do you send only a letter?

No -

You can try that, but I sent ONLY A LETTER to about 8 different shows, and DID NOT GET ANYTHING BACK!

It seems like sending a SASE makes a BIG difference.

It entirely depends on the show. At first when I started sending it seemed like just that was fine. And it is for some. I've tried to list some shows on the first post (look underneath my list) and there's only about 4-5 shows that are pretty much going to send something back. Wicked ALWAYS will, and I've never seen any problems with Phantom of the Opera, TLM or Mary Poppins so far by just sending a letter. Wicked is really the only one that I can think of that sending a SASE will possibly slow down your response time, and it's rare but sometimes it happens.

Best of luck! And remember..if you're sending to a specific actor you MUST have a SASE!!

And to NBAFan: can I ask which stage managers you wrote to?

- Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
- November
- Curtains
- Rent
- MacBeth
- Young Frankenstein
- Country Girl

Strange for YF & November!
I don't believe MacBeth did playbills through the mail (because the run was so short), and I'm not sure about Country Girl. Cat usually requires a SASE, but if it's Terrence Howard's sig your after you might not get it anymore. And I sent both only a letter and a SASE seperate times to Curtains and have gotten nothing back. And as I'm sure I said before I've never tried Rent at all.
