I went here:
http://www.thebroadwaycollection.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=120&type=store
And it said the program was $50! I am going to the tour today...how much is the program?
Also, is $40 the correct price for the DVD, because I've seen it for $12 in the stores!

I've never seen a souvenir program sell for more than $20. Most are $15 or $18.
Check Amazon for the DVD.

I know the price of the DVD, just questioning the $40 price tag they put on it.
And I've seen programs go for $10-15, so I was questioning the $50 price tag...weird.

Yes, $50 is ridiculous. You can get it on broadwaynewyork.com for $15.

Posted: 9/11/04 at 9:46amseems like ridiculous prices all around for those items. I agree with Chris - for the program definitely go to broadwaynewyork.com, and as far as the DVD goes - you can get that for $10 at a number of stores. enjoy the show.

Posted: 9/11/04 at 10:33amI think it's so expensive because it the one feautring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick and it's mostly likely getting more rare and it's probably out of print.

I agree with TheQuibbler...now, if it was the most recent one, $50 is crazy. But $50 is a crazy price for any program, whether or not Nathan Lane/Matthew Broderick is in it.
I was planning on buying the one on tour, as I doubt it will be $50. I don't think anyone will buy it for that price.

Posted: 9/11/04 at 12:28pmWhen i went to nyc in 2001 just get a program from the show (because i already saw it prebroadway) it only cost 10 bucks. But wow 50 bucks for one?! It does make sense that it would be out of print but 50 bucks is absurd.

Check eBay, Broadway New York, and Amazon.com.
Those prices are, indeed, overpriced, as many companies often do.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Um...it's $10.
I don't know where you got $50 from...

When I saw the show in March in Baltimore, I believe the tour program was $10. When I saw it a week later in New York with Nathan and Matthew, the Broadway program with them on the cover wss $15. The Broadway one seems to have more to it, but maybe that's just me. I saw that website that has them for $50 - I just had to laugh at that one. 
On a semi-related note, does anyone know if the sweatshirt they have on that site is the same as the fleece shirt they have in the theater? I wanted one but they didn't have my size...
