Wrong. It is no one's job/duty except if Dan/his personal team to do it. As I've said before, the Broadhurst is one of the most cramped on Broadway (usually the actors share small small dressing rooms) backstage.
We're lucky most stage managers even do cast-signed playbills, let alone go and have pictures signed by people/etc.; that's not their job. Their job is to set up for a performance, make sure everyone is there and to fit everything into place for a performance: not to do fanmail. And I'm sure they also have lives and families and other things they like to do.
So unfortunately, unless Dan has a PA or someone else that he assigns to get stamps, it doesn't matter.
And I'm sorry I didn't give the sugar-coated answer, but I'm guessing he won't do anything. Look at the other successes: almost everyone sent something anyway (pictures/covers/etc.), but I'm of course not 100% sure on this.
So again: it's up to Dan; no one in the theatre/associated with the Equus revival. And I've had plenty of stamps/IRCs/money go to waste on autographs too. It's awful, trust me I know I've been there, but it's one of the risks you have to take with this hobby. And we don't know, he very well could be bringing it back to England when he has more time and is just sitting around as opposed to probably exploring NYC (somewhat)! Don't get impatient with everyone else's successes,...yours may just becoming later.
And can I also say that the whole "Dealer from the US" and "Hungarian Fan" arguement hardly makes sense...do you think we should put a special code on our letters so they know? I highly doubt that these "dealers from the US" are putting "I'm an autograph dealer. I would love to have your autograph to sell. Thanks" because I'm sure they're similar to the letters you wrote!
