Stage Door
Full guide →When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Shared door. This door also serves the Pershing Square Signature Center — Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre and the Pershing Square Signature Center — Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre, so some of the crowd is waiting for a different show.
No public door. Performers leave through the lobby, the same way you did. There is nowhere separate to wait.
