Posted: 11/30/11 at 5:45pmI just called and the sitch is to get your cd signed you must have a wrist band which are first come first serve. And once you have the wrist band you do not, repeat DO NOT have to stay in line, you can leave and come back! Which is awesome because I really thought I was going to be sitting on the floor all day. huzzah!!

"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)

Posted: 11/30/11 at 6:10pmI might be in big trouble... I'll get there as early as possible and if I do get lucky enough to get a wrist band, I guess I'll kill time in the area; any suggestions on how?

Posted: 11/30/11 at 6:14pmI'd love to talk to people online and meet members of Broadway World if anyone will be there, but I'm wondering if people will be in line when I plan on getting there at around 1:00.

This sounds like the same situation when I got my "Anything Goes" cd signed. I went to B&N and bought the cd. They gave me a wristband with purchase. The lady at the counter said I didn't have to wait in line, but I went downstairs and waited in line anyway. I'm glad I did get in line early. I was able to get a great seat right in front. Even if the staff says that you don't have to wait, stand in line anyway. You can either pick a book off the shelf or talk to people. I just read. The time went by fast for me.
The site says there is a limit of two signed CDs per customer.

I WILL NOT be going to this signing.

Posted: 11/30/11 at 8:35pmI just called with a few questions, and the man I spoke to said you can have TWO CDs! So there's a discrepancy amongst the staff I guess...

I would just print this out:

and buy two cds if they say any differently show them your print out and say you want to have two cds signed. At the "Anything Goes" signing it was suppose to be cds only but people had playbills and the cast signed them with no issues.

Posted: 12/1/11 at 1:42pmI'm in line too and they announced that Sondheim will not be here to sign. Kind of disappointed but will still be good to get the cast.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Did you get a priority wrist band? I didn't so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Ljay- yes! Sondheim did end up being there and he signed, so I don't know why the B&N staff had the scare in the morning that he wouldn't be signing.
It was actually really fun and the booklets look amazing with all the signatures. It was handled just like the Night Music signing last year.

Posted: 12/1/11 at 5:32pmIt was a wonderful event! 22 cast members were there, so many more than I anticipated, and they were all very happy to be there and signing and very gracious. The table started with Young Buddy / Young Sally and ended with Bernadette and Sondheim.
