Emma Degerstedt

I wrote to Emma Degerstedt in  the off-Broadway production of  Smokey Joe's Cafe. She is the absolute sweetest and a fantastic actress. I first saw her in The Little Mermaid at the Muny, and I was really blown away by her performance. I was even more impressed by how kind she was at the stage door, and that she truly took the time to talk to everyone! There were lots of little girls at the stage door who just adored her, and she was so sweet and gave all of them big hugs! I sent her a little ornament that I made of her pink shimmy dress from Smokey Joe's Cafe, and she even posted the cutest video with them in her Instagram story and I could tell that she was so excited. She sent me back a full cast signed playbill and the sweetest note on Ariel stationary! This is definitely one of the nicest fan mail responses that I've ever gotten!

Katherine McPhee

I wrote to Katherine McPhee in Waitress, and I requested a playbill. I made a goal to have a playbill from every Broadway Jenna, so I was really hoping to be able to get one with Katherine. I also sent her a little ornament that I made of Jenna's waitress uniform. She sent me back a personalized signed playbill with a sweet little note on it. I actually received this right after her final performance, so I was super excited since I was worried that I might not get a response from her. I did include a SASE, and it took about two months to get a response.

Christy Altomare

Christy sent me a signed Anastasia playbill and included a sweet message on it. She wrote "Keep reaching for the moon and you'll land amongst the stars" along with cute little doodles of stars and hearts. She also wrote a sweet and encouraging note with some great advice on cute Paris themed paper. She is such a sweet person and gave a very thoughtful response. She was also pretty fast to respond.

The Bandstand stage manager sent me back a full cast signed playbill. It is also from after they changed the playbill design for this show, which is cool because I have both designs now!
