Ali Ewoldt

Ali answered my questionnaire very thoroughly, and she included a very sweet note about the gift I sent her. She also sent me a signed and personalized proshot of her as Christine. She also responded very quickly for a Broadway lead in such a big show!

Rachel Bay Jones

It took a little over 1 month to get this response from Rachel. She sent me a large photo of the Dear Evan Hansen cast. The signatures on it are all printed on, but I still think it is really cool since I really adore this cast. She also included a nice little personalized note on really cool DEH paper that I totally want for myself.

Aubin Wise

Aubin sent me a very nice response, and very quickly too! She sent me a full cast signed playbill from October 2016 (so it's the original Chicago cast), which was absolutely amazing of her! She also included a sweet little note!

Melissa Mitchell

I wrote to Melissa while she was in the ensemble and the understudy for Fantine and Cosette in the Les Mis revival. It took her a little bit to respond, but that's okay since her response was so amazing and sweet! She answered my questionnaire very thoroughly, and she sent me an incredibly long and sweet letter (which I'm not including a pic of since it was quite personal). She had so many loving, encouraging words to say, I actually cried when I first read her letter! She also sent me two signed headshots- one larger one that was personalized, and an unpersonalized small one. She also sent a full cast signed playbill, which is so amazing of her! I can't read very many of the signatures, but this is probably one of my favorite playbills in my collection this far!

Courtney Reed

I wrote to Courtney Reed in Aladdin on Broadway, and I sent her little Jasmine dress-up dolls that I made with some of her costumes from the show. She posted pictures of them on her Snapchat, which I thought was really cool. It took her a couple of months to respond, but she was really so sweet and amazing. She really thoroughly answered my questionnaire and sent me a full cast-signed playbill. She also sent me a super sweet note that I really loved!

Stephanie Styles

I wrote to Stephanie Styles and sent her a little gift using the address given through her agent. It took a couple of months for her to respond, but her response was so super sweet! She was really thorough in answering my questionnaire, and she even wrote some answers on the back because she ran out of room! She also sent me a super sweet note (and she told me that my handwriting is so tiny that I must have been trained by pixies or something!). I am so excited for her to be in "Roman Holiday" now! She is the absolute sweetest, and I can't wait to see what amazing things she will do in the future!

Laura Osnes

I wrote to Laura Osnes during previews of Bandstand. She was pretty fast in her response and did a really nice job with answering my questionnaire. I asked for a playbill, and she didn't send one, but that's okay! I was super excited to hear from her because I am really so inspired by her!
