Stage Door
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
Hungry Women lands at SoHo Playhouse for a five-week summer run, with Julia Lester (yes, that Julia Lester) leading the charge. It is a comedy with teeth: funny about grief, funny about appetite, funny about what people become when the rules stop applying. Think end-of-the-world premise, dinner-party manners, and a cast that plays it entirely straight while the ground gives way underneath.
SoHo Playhouse is a 199-seat house on Vandam Street, which means nobody is far from the stage and every reaction lands. Previews start July 23, opening night is July 25, and the whole thing wraps August 30 — so this is a genuinely short window.
If your summer theatre plan has been “something weird, something downtown, something I can still get a drink after,” congratulations, here it is.
