A Steady Rain Poster?

Hi... I was wondering if anyone whos been to the show A steady Rain.... if there were posters being sold...I'm going soon and want to get one signed.... Also was there anything else being sold. thanks in advance.

The only items they have for sale are t-shirts (that simply have A Stead Rain printed on the front), hats and keychains. :)

WAIT! Why are they not signing anything anymore?? is that true??/

I understand the poster and picture...but are they no longer signing playbills? Is that really fair?

I think I just lost respect for Hugh Jackman.... Not everyone can pay 100$ not alone 400$ to get an autograph. I agree its really about the performance and enjoying it but it is a long tradition to stage door. I fully support BCEFA and donate money frequently, especially when i go to the flea market, and the buckets after the show. Not only do i believe that BCEFA is becoming greedy but i feel its quite bougeois to treat people who cant afford it like this, when they would be doing it if no bcefa exhisted... many shows sell posters and yet they still sign at the stage door as its only fair.
This really quite Saddens Me!

Yea...I believe you guys who said they didn't sign...but maybe it was that night? maybe they ALSO sell autographed playbills benefiting BCEFA? I just can't imagine it is an official policy that "Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig Will Not Sign Playbills." But I could be wrong!

Are they in the fundraising period? In that case it would make sense!

Tonight they both came out and started awkwardly shaking people's hands and just ignoring the people who were asking for autographs. It really made me lose respect for them.

On the one hand - I think people should donate if they want to, but not be penalized for not donating. If I shell out $350 for a premium ticket, which a lot of people have been doing, dont expect me to shell out another $400 for a signed poster.

However - I do feel like stage dooring has been reduced to a stampede for obtaining an autograph/photo to the point where it's off putting to watch, especially from the perspective of the actor. I support anyone who wants to wait after the show to commend an actor on a job well done, and to simply meet the performers but dont feel entitled to a "piece" of them, whether photo or autograph, because frankly your ticket purchase price is only good for the performance and nothing more - but this has been argued to death already so I'll retreat slowly.

I understand it's part of the fund raising effort, but the prices seem a bit exorbitant. Perhaps if they were slightly more affordable, then the items would be more accessible to a greater majority of the patrons and more of them could contribute and get a gift of appreciation. There's a difference between not wanting to spend the money and not being able to. Surely they could donate a smaller denomination and leave with nothing tangible, but clearly a good majority would like to walk away with a keepsake to go with their contribution.

Fundraising continues until December 6th, the day before the Gypsy of the Year event, which just so happens to also be the final night A STEADY RAIN will perform. So, looks like unless something changes they won't be signing for the remainder of the run. However, I did hear that they may only do photos for the first two weeks of collections, so they may take photos outside again if they aren't doing them for donations.

So what are you now allowed to do at the stage door? I know someone said they shook hands, but are you also told ahead of time not to take any photos? I understand the idea behind it is noble and the price of the ticket entitles you to nothing extra. Still, I just think there is something wrong with people who just came from the show and have their playbills their to be refused. I am still wondering, however, what is allowed.

The people who are upset I think its only because you didnt get a chance to stage door yet.

Craig and Jackman are doing a very curtious thing by not "stagedooring". (Now lets pretend I am not dirt poor) I would be very pissed off If I spent 400 on a signed poster, and 2000 for a picture only to walk out and see both actors taking pictures (for free) outside the theater.

Believe me Jackman and Craig want to give to the fans (I mean they stage doored every night before that havnt they?). But they also understand that they are doing this for charity and they dont want these people to feel cheated.

To the people who say it "isint fair" and they "lost respect" for Jackman, thats a real shame.
1) I agree some of the prices are very very much, but these are high profile guys and if you dont spend the 100$ someone else gladly will.
2) Like I said before, If anything doing this should make you GAIN more respect for Jackman.


People forget a ticket stub does not mean you also get a Auto/Picture. These are perks and are (now and always have been) a hit or a a miss.

I think its still classy coming out and talking/greeting your fans. Showing they still want to give as much as they could to the fans.

If you cant appreciate that then I dont know what else to say to possibly reach you.
