My parents are helping me out with rent and clothes this Christmas (poor NYC grad student), so I didn't get much in the way of gifts. But I did get the DVDs of Anastasia and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, which is kind of Broadway-ish.
I did, however, raid my parents' record collection and came up with the following to take back to my apartment:
SOUTH PACIFIC OBC
FIDDLER OBC
HAIR OBC
THE PAJAMA GAME OBC
PORGY AND BESS OBC
THE SOUND OF MUSIC OBC
GEORGE M OBC
CAMELOT OBC
HELLO DOLLY OBC
FUNNY GIRL OBC
FIORELLO OBC
CAROUSEL OST
ANNIE OST
And WEST SIDE STORY, which I already have, but theirs is in better condition.
Oh, and something I passed on: "A Brilliant New Recording of Rodgers' and Hammerstein's OKLAHOMA! with Jon Raitt and Florence Henderson."

Posted: 12/25/09 at 3:17pmStee -- a windowcard is a 14x22 poster, usually for a Broadway show. 14x22 is the standard size for theater posters, and they're usually printed on a lightweight cardstock.

My birthday was yesterday, and I got 2 Playbill binders for that, which I'm very excited about.
Today, I got the American Theatre Wing book The Play that Changed My Life, and the new book that's the oral history of The Public Theatre. I also got season 3 of 30 Rock, which has a bunch of Broadway peeps on it.

Posted: 12/25/09 at 5:06pmI bought myself a DVD of The Sound of Music.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I'm old, so I don't get much in the way of gifts anymore.
The following I got from my little brother. Today is also my birthday, so some of this was birthday and some of it was Christmas, but since we living in different states it was shipped to me via amazon.com and not really demarcated for the occasion:
Sonheim on Music
Hair Revival Cast Recording
Make Me a Song Cast Recording
I also had a bunch of gift cards left in my wallet from LAST Christmas, so I used those to buy gifts for myself including:
Into the Woods DVD
Godspell DVD
Hello, Dolly! DVD
I received an iTunes gift card from a student which I am using to purchase:
The Story of My Life Cast Recording
The Adding Machine Cast Recording
Assassins Revival Cast Recording
I received an Amazon.com gift card from my boss which I will probably use to buy another yet to be decided movie musical DVD.

Posted: 12/25/09 at 10:15pmI got the Playbill Yearbook too, and had no idea it had as much information as it did. I never got one before, because I thought it was just new shows. But, it's a great reference with all the listings of cast changes and understudies. Very well put together!
