Some of you might find this video interesting. There's actually a continuation of this on YouTube, but I think the first vid offers us an idea of what stage dooring has been like.
We were there that night and it was crazy and apparently has not let up for a single show. They are trying hard to sign every autograph that they can so that no one is dissapointed. They have section dividers now and Laura and Max are kind of caged in so they have room to move around and then get to all the fans.
Wow! A little overwhelming but Max and Laura handled it so well and in spite of the large crowd everyone seemed well behaved. I know it must be exciting for them to get to meet their fans even if only for a few seconds. Max seemed to be trying to do crowd control himself. Thanks for posting. Even if I only get to see this video it gives me some idea of what it is like for Max and Laura. They're great kids and I know what a thrill it was for folks who traveled so far to get a glimpse of them and thank them for their performance.
That is absolutley INSANE!!!! All I ask for is a simple autograph on my shirt (even my playbill if i'm lucky), and a picture! I'm so glad that Max & Laura are bringing in such fans and crowds, it's fun to prove those who thought the reality show was a bad idea wrong =] It obviously was a great idea, because it's raking in the money :) lol.
EDT: I'm glad they changed their system with the barricades, the 'new' setup is much more efficiant. That is how many other shows do their barricades and it's always worked great. I'm so glad that the crowd that is going to see this show is polite. It's absolutley horrible to see a show and then stagedooring with a rowdy and rude crowd. Worst experiences.

If other shows get stage door crowds, why were the Grease people surprised and unprepared the first night? Apparently, they didn't realize that Max and Laura are such big media stars.
OMG! What a fantastic video. You can see max and laura up close and personal. It was almost as good a being there. Now I know what to expect at the stage door. I am not going until September, so hopefully things will be more organized then. Thanks again for posting.
