Always. But I think it's partly because I am a MAJOR packrat

of course, it's how i remember each and every show. plus, i'm not a 'stagedoor' person

I always grab more and get strange looks from people.

But if someone gives me too strange a look, I just ask them if they would like one of them.

Always, its to make up for not keeping the Playbill to my first Broadway show

The only Playbill I didn't keep was the one for Rent, and that was an accident. I, too, am a packrat.

always. and i often take extras when i see a pile, or the extras that people leave in seats as i'm walking out.

Always, now that I realized how much I love theatre. I don't have any from when I was very young, unfortunately. I always grab extras on the way out, too.

Absolutely! I have the playbill binders and playbill protecters, and I've even framed a few of them. I have almost every playbill since 2000. Before that, I have most of them.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

yeah, i started when i was like 12. i don't have any of the old lion king or beauty and the beast, but i wish i did.

my grandma is MAJORLY into theatre. she sees a show about every weekend in the summertime for YEARS. and she saves every single playbill. she has one from almost every show since the 60's. i go through them sometimes, they're amazing.

Yes. Playbills are fine, tangible reminders of evenings at the theatre - both wonderful and terrible.

I keep mine in a large box where they won't be crushed.

I keep mine as well. Sometimes I do get them framed.

I never keep them. When I think of the shows I've seen...I try not to think about it. I never keep anything. I'm the complete opposite of a pack-rat!

I have all the playbills from the shows I've seen in the past 10 years (which amounts to a LOT of playbills!). I have some framed ones that I've had signed (hairspray, nine, chicago and so forth) and those are hanging on my walls. Any playbills preceeding the past 10 years were unfortunately tossed by my parents long ago.

Yes, I do keep all my playbills. The only one I dont have was from Joseph and the... All my playbills are in a cabinet next to my bed. I really wanna frame my Wicked one (that I got signed by Laura Bell Bundy and Sean McCourt) and my All Shook Up one (that i got signed by Leah Hocking, Cheyenne Jackson, Jonathan Hardary, and ALix Korey).

I have most of them, I'm only missing a couple. Plum, I did the same thing as you, I lost my Rent playbill (actually my mom threw it away by accident). I'm really disappointed that I'm missing that one.

i happily keep mine. i have from my first show - beauty and the beast and almost every show since. but they're sitting squished in a bookcase which probably isn't very good

I always did, and I had older ones in a box in the basement. Unfortunately the basement flooded this summer and ruined them along with my high school year book
