A Steady Rain Poster? — Page 5

Just an update on prices; as I had thought should be done, signed Playbills are now $60 each or two for $100. At this price they are now selling extremely well! Posters are still $300 each.
At the auction tonight Hugh Jackman revealed that he was wearing stripper tassels on his undershirt and proceeded to shake them vigorously! LOL And Daniel Craig had drawn a pair of boobs on his shirt! The shirts went at auction for a staggering $10,000 EACH!! For a total of $20,000. Unbelievable!

Thanks for the update - Hugh and Daniel had the same stuff on their shirts for the Actor's Fund performance last week. And I think the Nov. 14 show was also a benefit for Chicago Dramatists who originated the play and where the playwright is attached.

I got that info at the link below - it was also reported on BWW.

CHICAGO DRAMATISTS CELEBRATES A SPECIAL CHICAGO NIGHT ON BROADWAY

Chicago Dramatists will host a one evening only benefit at the November 14th performance of A STEADY RAIN in New York City

CHICAGO , IL â?? Chicago Dramatists has a special block of orchestra tickets on reserve to A STEADY RAIN, the hottest upcoming Broadway show starring Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman and directed by Tony-Award nominee John Crowley. With stars of this caliber, tickets are in high demand, but Chicago Dramatists will be hosting a benefit performance on November 14th. A STEADY RAIN, the smash hit production by Chicago Dramatists Resident Playwright, Keith Huff, thrilled audiences during its two critically and publicly acclaimed runs in Chicago and will open in New York City this September.

The benefit for Chicago Dramatists, the creative force behind the successful production, will be held on Saturday, November 14th at 8:00 p.m. at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, 236 West 45th Street, New York, NY. Tickets for this exclusive performance of A STEADY RAIN are $200 each, with a portion of the proceeds directly benefiting Chicago Dramatists, the only theatre in the country that is both a playwrightsâ?? development center and a full producing theatre. Tickets, including a pre-show cocktail party, are also available for $250. To reserve your tickets to the special Chicago affair on Broadway or for more information on donations, contact Cynthia Frahm at 312-633-0630 or cfrahm@chicagodramatists.org.

It wasn't a benefit performance. The group bought tickets to sell for a special event to its members, but it was a regularly ticketed performance that anyone could have purchased tickets to. There are benefit groups attendng the show all the time.

Thanks!

They are indefatigable fundraisers! I wonder if the finale performance will also include a pitch for BC/EFA or will it be devoted to the two charities that are being sponsored that evening?

Apparently, the Playbills are B&W again, with the www.Playbill.com logo at the bottom being in B&W. They were only in color for about a month, it seems.

Well, actually the last day for the BC/EFA collections is Sunday Dec 6, the same day A STEADY RAIN finishes it's run, so I would say that the policy regarding autographs at the stage door will continue til the end.

It went to two for a combined $20,000 the night I went too (Friday Nov 20). I was flabbergasted. Hugh and Daniel were adorable about it though, I'm not surprised that they've already raised a million.

And just a sidenote, my cute little mom got a free hug from Daniel Craig because it was her birthday and I asked him to give her one, lol.

And don't forget it's, say it with me:

'tax deductable!'

lol
