Meeting the talented and famous at the Stage Door

After you have gotten some half-price tickets from TKTS - here's another fun FREE way to entertain yourself:

THE STAGE DOOR

Hang out after the show and try to meet your favorite performer. You will have the opportunity to meet many well-known Hollywood actors, who have come to Broadway to make their stage debut, as well as veteran Broadway stars. Get your Playbill signed, snap a photo and tell the stars how much their performance meant to you.

The crowds at the stage door can very from show to show and from night to night. If you think your show might be extra popular try to duck out before the curtain call ends so you can be in the front line at the stage door. (Make sure to scout out where the stage door is before the show, so you will know exactly where to go. If you aren't sure where it is, ask!)

Above all though, remember to be courteous. Pushing, yelling and other obnoxious displays are unacceptable and will only make the actors want to leave faster. Remember there are other people in line so don't hog all the space or all of the actor's time.

Look at who I met after Equus:
Daniel Radcliffe didn't stick around long on this frigid night.

Richard Griffiths was a bit rude, but he made sure to sign autographs of everyone who remained.

The best way to get a very popular star's autograph is to visit the stage door on a night you're not seeing the show. Get there about 1/2 before the end of the show to grab a good position.
