2018 Easter Bonnet Collections- Page 2

Thank you. I've seen the show multiple times. Has anyone ever slipped in the door to donate for an item? I don't think they check."

Yes, I have done that several times for Hamilton.  I stood at the door just before the show let out and walked in when they opened the door and bought a bunch of signed stuff.  They had a guy standing at the door, he was used to people wanting to come in as the show let out.  There were parents waiting at the door for their teenage kids who were inside seeing the show alone, there were people who looked like they were trying to scavenge discarded playbills from the floor, and there were a few people like me who were trying to buy Easter Bonnett stuff.  The door guy never gave me any trouble at all.  I did it three different times, never an issue, and this was back in Hamilton’s heyday when things were crazy.  I think you would have no problem with Hello Dolly, especially post-Bette.

I did this once at the Imperial during the holiday season so I could get a Carols for a Cure CD, with the volunteers stationed at the back exit on 46th Street. No problem.

Does Dolly auction off the big ticket items or are they for regular purchase in the back? I might want the earrings or pin...

They were available for purchase on Sunday, though obviously only one of each piece of jewelry. There was no auction on Sunday, just the sales at the bar!

Thanks, everyone!

I donated and chose the starfish. It's lovely.

It's stunning. I saw the show a few weeks back. And I know I saw the starfish ...but I can't remember which scdne and where.....

I've been having the exact same problem, oddly enough! I know that I saw it in the show on Sunday, but for the life of me I can't figure out where. I know where it's definitely *not* (title number, So Long Dearie) but it could be anywhere else. Maybe "Before the Parade Passes By"?

I'm going to PM you...

So my partner actually purchased the same Dolly pin when he attended last night. He thought I donated for a different one. Its the crystal starfish Bernadette wears. 

If anyone is interested in purchasing it from me,  drop a line. We don't need two..

Any updates on what Angels in America & Lobby Hero are offering?

[deathofacatler]

Posted: 4/5/18 at 9:18pm

They weren’t offering anything at Lobby Hero yesterday, and no buckets. There was nothing at Angels when I went either, though it may have been because it was very early on in the collection season (maybe two days in?)

Any new reports?

If you went to Angels that early, they were probably still in previews. Most shows don't participate until after they open.

I went to Angels after opening night and they didn’t offer anything.

I'm hoping they do eventually- it seems to align with the them of the show- and they'd make a ton of money for the cause I'm sure!

$150 posters

$60 playbills

I think this was the first night selling at Angels in America.  Andrew Garfield did the speech and said basically that it was a bargain and you could double your money on eBay, but don’t.

Limit of one poster per person.

SAINT JOAN is selling bundles of kindling for $30.

I saw Angels in America on Wednesday and they had posters and playbills. Probably the same prices theaterlover2 said. Andrew Garfield did the speech. Everyone still came out at the stage door and signed except Nathan Lane and Susan Brown.

I know it's a shot in the dark, but I will pay (plus shipping) if anyone can pick up an Angels poster for me. I went to the first performance after Opening and they weren't selling yet.

Does anyone know what Spongebob is doing? I’m seeing the show this Friday!

They were originally doing signed window cards for $60 and playbills for $20, and then limited signed beach balls (by the trio) when the playbills ran out. However, I was there on Sunday, and they had nothing left, so the announcement was just for collecting. Please update and let me know if they end up.doing something more!

Anything new? Hoping against hope that Mean Girls and Frozen jump in for the final week!

The prices are now $200 for the windowcard and $100 for the Playbill, fyi.
