When they did that before it was because they couldn’t block traffic so congestion at the tables was INSANE. I can’t believe (at least from the map) it looks like they’re doing that again right now, making everyone squeeze in tighter.

But it isn’t like Broadway Cares can just tell the city to fully close streets. They can ask & apply for the permits, but the city decides what they get permission to do.

 

Thank you! I have no idea why this article made me want to know that, but it did.  :)

Is it weird that I wish they would have mentioned what musical and what role?  :)

OMG!! You found the Golden Ticket! Now Willy Wonka will take you to the factory where they make Everlasting Revivals, Gum That's A Whole Broadway Season! Now run, Charlie! Run straight home and don't stop!

None of these listings are donating any portion to Broadway Cares.

I attended AADA for a year.  My main problem with it is that so many students are cut after the first year (me included, but I don't think I'm speaking from a place of sour grapes).  I think one of the big things about an acting class is that it be a safe place where you can take risks and "fail".

Well, when they do Actors Fund benefit shows that sometimes makes the show count for the week jump to 9.  When I saw the Addams Family Actors Fund performance Jackie Hoffman threw in some very funny business about it being the 9th show.  :)

It looks like it is truly sold out & they're talking about refunding some backers who weren't able to get tickets.

You started your post off with a rather negative tone when you stated "I may be a little new to this Broadway Cares donate-every-single-penny-you-have deal" so you set the tone.  

I also don't think my statement is "nasty" as I was simply stating that you immediately went to an accusatory place.  

You didn't answer the question of where you got the Playbill or Poster in December.

If you're just being paranoid it seems a bit excessive to create a post using the name of a non-profit as the subject line & implying that the charity is selling fake items.

I'd also be curious t see photos since I've seen many signed I'ts Only a Play signed posters & Playbills and they've all had original signatures.

Also, since you didn't go to the theatre, where did you get the poster & Playbill?

And I would assume that anyone who can spend $5000 on a poster will appreciate the tax deduction that comes with it.  I mean, the philanthropy part is awesome too, but it is also helpful come tax time (she says as though she makes enough money for that to be an issue. LOL!)
