Stage door questions?Hi. I'm new to the board and was wondering where is the stage door for
The Queens Theatre located and out of the current cast who comes out after the matinee. Fell free to post stage door pictures too.

The Queen's stage door is literally at the back of the theatre, in a small street (parallel to Shaftesbury Avenue) that ends in Wardour Street. It's not a very busy stage door normally, and I think it's simply expected of all fans to show respect and take a step back. Most of the cast come out after a matinee, but some might take while longer, some might be in a hurry because they have their own lives, or may not be in the right mood or comfortable with "stagedooring", and there is no rule as to who comes out and who doesn't. I've seen other stage doors where the principals came out to sign stuff and were well aware of fans waiting, but at Les Mis it isn't quite like that.

It can be quite satisfying, though, and really make a day that is already made by seeing the show  . Not only that most of the cast who do come out and are not in an obvious and understandable hurry are very nice, you also can get into contact with other fans waiting and meet some nice people from all over the world.
We saw the show three times now and went to the stage door and there always weren't too much people there and no screaming and swarming at the actors like I have heard of other shows, which shows for quality among fans, I think.

Thanks everyone for the help! Do Lorraine Bruce/Nancy Sullivan come out after Matinee's?

Nancy Sullivan often comes out after matinees but usually goes jogging [just to be clear, I'm not revealing any personal info here. She tweets about it], so she'll often head out on her jog without stopping at the stage door.
I'm not sure about Lorraine Bruce. I think in the few times I was there during a matinee she didn't come out, but I can't be sure.

We saw Nancy coming out yesterday, my daughter and I, and we saw her coming back and I have to admit, since it was a choice between asking her or David for an autograph, we asked David. (They were both tight on schedule and we didn't want to be a nuisance, really).
But I can recommend Martin Ball for talking about the show. He's the nicest guy ever!
