- On Episode 2 of our Broadway 101 series, Beetlejuice The Musical and School of Rock the Musical star and Tony Award nominee Alex Brightman gives tips about in-house etiquette (during the show) and proper stage door etiquette, to make sure you (the fan) have the best interaction with the stars you love!
So sad you have to do a „tutorial“ about behavior...
The fact that Alex co-wrote this speaks a lot. PLEASE be reasonable while stage dooring!
someone send this to the girl who sang during Waitress for a freaking tiktok
I feel like they’re calling out that tik tok girl
Alex is a teacher once again!
It’s kind of disappointing that they have to make this a video bc this should just be basic etiquette??
This should be played before every show because I have so many bad stage door experience and a terrible act 1 of phantom experience because of the people behind me not knowing theatre etiquette
I want to talk to Alex about rare Italian cheeses
I would die to talk to Alex about rare Italian cheeses
I remember going to go see Beetlejuice and waiting at the stage door. There was a girl who shoved me to get closer to the railing. It was late and I was so exhausted to even yell at her for it. There are people out there who really don’t know their basic manners. I was so annoyed that I left the stage door without meeting the cast.
I work at the stage door and this is great. Esp that last tip.
Also another note: NEVER sing while the actors are singing, yes you may love he musical SOOO much but it’s rude, this girl on tik tok went to the waitress and during Never Getting Rid Of Me she sang super loudly like she was in a concert, please don’t sing, you can lip sync or do it in your head but remember other people payed to watch/hear the musical
nobody:
Saw Beetlejuice earlier this month and the people I was standing around afterwards at stage door were the rudest ive ever met. Going on and on saying how its the actors job to come out after every show and that they "owe" it to them. I've never been so angry in my life. I told them they did their job on stage for 2 hours and they don't HAVE to come out at all and they laughed in my face. I was honestly glad not a lot of the cast indeeded up coming out cos none of those people deserved to meet them the way they were acting
it’s a shame that people can be so inconsiderate and rude during and after shows, especially because a lot of this stuff is common sense.
follow the Golden Rule
Ugh this is so important. On my birthday, I got tickets to Be More Chill's fourth preview as a gift. I made sure to get to the stagedoor first to really get to meet the cast. I was really pumped. These four loud, really obnoxious fangirls pushed infront of me and totally ruined the experience and I didn't really get to meet the cast or anything. The show was still amazing at least.
It's truly sad how much this video is needed. If you're going to a Broadway show or any show, these should be common sense. But thanks to Alex Brightman and Playbill for making sure everyone knows these rules
i thought he was gonna say “wives children, some of us have plants.”
Stage door is a privilege not a right. I’d also love to know who disliked this video 🤣
