i saw the show last week, a saturday matinee. i got to the stagedoor later than i hoped due to how the theater is set up with an escalator and everything. So i was behind the first row of people, and didnt have a sharpie, so it wasnt going to well.
Jake came out pretty quick with his body guards and worked his way down the line. No one got anything else signed but playbills, and he took pictures. he had a hat and sunglasses on, as to not be seen on the street i think, but after he worked his way to the end, a few people got out of the line and a couple was nice enough to hand me their sharpie. so i got up in front, and just as jakes bodyguard was about to say "lets go" he directed hi towards me! now since im a 14 year old boy (and probably the only one there) in a shirt and tie, i think this might have helped. Jake came over, and while a little awkward asked me if i like the show,said i looked very nice and dressed up and very nicely signed my playbill and took a picture, and left right after.
The other cast members came out but only signed a few things. I think they felt overshadowed, and that people were only there for Jake, which is sad because i really wanted to meet all of them.
I think he asked because he didnt have a Playbill with him so Jake must have just thought he was collecting pics. He had the Playbill after the show but Jake came and went so quickly that he missed him. So wasn't BS
Honestly, I prefer Jake when he's clean shaven. The whole bearded look is not something I'm wild about. Just my opinion. RC in Austin, Texas

Just wondering if anyone's been to the stage door to see Jakey lately, and if he's still coming out, signing and taking pictures, and would he accept my invite to come home with me to Miami? (Sorry Jordan)

dont know about Jake, but Jessica Chastain comes out after every show and happily chats with the fans, takes pictures and signs just about everything. Such a gracious lady.
