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.
Why “still confirming”. The theatre details above are solid. What we haven’t nailed down is whether this particular production does a stage door — that changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
Some folks collect stamps. Al Tapper collected songs — decades of them — and now they all pile onto one Off-Broadway stage at the AMT Theater for a four-week party called After All These Years. Part concert, part comedy, part loving roast, it's a musical memoir of the composer, lyricist, playwright, and producer who never met a punchline he didn't want to set to music.
Tapper himself pops up on screen while a live cast — Lara Allison, Emily Taylor Kaufman, Dan Olson, and Nathan Pecchia — sings, jokes, and time-travels through a career packed with first loves, lost weekends, show-business dreams, and a little political satire for spice. Directed by Brian Childers and co-written with Tony Sportiello, it plays like your funniest uncle finally getting the band back together.
It's a short run at a cozy 199-seat house on West 45th, so grab a seat before the final bow on October 8. Come for the tunes, stay for the stories that probably should have stayed at the bar.
