Brooklyn Shuck

I wrote to Brooklyn Shuck in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and I requested a playbill. She sent me back a full cast signed playbill, which I was very excited about! I did include a SASE, and it took about two months to get a response.

"Meet Me in St. Louis" at the Muny

I got to see Meet Me in St. Louis at the Muny, which was their final show of the 100th season. It was truly a special experience and a magical Muny memory. It's a classic for St. Louisans and a great celebration of St. Louis (perfect choice for the Muny's 100th season!). It was incredibly touching and special to have the whole audience singing along to "Meet Me in St. Louis" after the curtain call, and something that I will never forget. I also had a great stage door experience- the whole cast was so sweet! I got autographs from Ken Page, Dan Deluca, Liana Hunt, and others. I also met Erin Dilly and got her autograph. I showed her that I had on the shoes she wore as the Baker's Wife in Into the Woods at the Muny a few years ago, and she was so excited to see them! She was so sweet and adorable, and so willing to talk to everyone.

"Gypsy" at the Muny

I got to see Gypsy at the Muny, and it was so amazing! Beth Leavel played Mamma Rose, and she was completely outstanding! Julia Knitel was also incredible, and I absolutely loved Hayley Podschun! I got to stagedoor after the show and to meet most of the cast, although they were in a little bit of a rush because they were having an opening night cast party. Hayley Podschun was the absolute sweetest, and she was so excited that I also brought a Hello,Dolly! playbill for her to sign!

DeLaney Westfall

I wrote to DeLaney Westfall, who plays Johanna in "Sweeney Todd" off-Broadway. I sent her a little green finch stuffed animal that I crocheted, and she posted a photo of it in her instagram story. She sent me back a signed playbill and a sweet note (on a cute card with pie on it!). It took about two weeks to receive a response.

"Singin' in the Rain" at the Muny

I got to see "Singin' in the Rain" at the Muny, and I was really so impressed by the entire production. It starred Corbin Bleu, and he was so incredible. He was so charming and had a great stage presence. I had never realized how strong of a dancer he is! He was so great and perfect for the role. The rest of the cast was also great. Megan Sikora was fabulous and hilarious, and she was also so sweet at the stage door. (She even told me that she loved my red hair and that she paid big money to have hair like it!). Corbin Bleu was also very nice at the stage door, and sooo many girls were hard core fangirling!

Ginna Claire Mason

I wrote to Ginna Claire Mason, who plays Glinda in the "Wicked" national tour. I sent her Glinda dress-up dolls that I made, and she posted a video with them in her instagram story. I actually ended up getting two responses from her! She initially sent me back a playbill signed by both her and Mary Kate Morrissey (Elphaba on tour), a personalized press shot signed by Mary Kate, and a personalized press shot signed by her. I sent her a questionnaire, but she couldn't remember who had sent it to her. She posted a picture of it in her instagram story and asked who's it was, so I responded and then she sent that to me (completely filled out), too! It took about three weeks to get a response.

Taylor Louderman

I wrote to Taylor Louderman, who plays Regina George in "Mean Girls". I have seen Taylor in other shows, and I have always really admired her (her voice is seriously amazing and she has the most magnificent belt!). I sent her a little mini Regina doll, and I requested a playbill. She sent me back a signed playbill. She also wrote me a sweet little "Thank you" note. I did include a SASE, and it took about six weeks to get a response.
