I really hope they announce today. I leave from KY tomorrow and I need to know what stuff to bring for the flea.

Gleek- So far we know that Carrie St. Louis, Constantine Maroulis, Christopher Sieber, and Alice Ripley will be appearing. I too hope to know soon so that I can plan my day and find things to get signed!

None of the tables really make me go nuts. I think I jut want pictures with SJB and Ann Harada.

VERY exited by Stephanie J Block, Alice Ripley, and Orfeh. Other than that I am honestly a little dissapointed by this years line-up. A great group of actors, but no one else that I am dying to meet

Don't they normally update them? I think I remember not being thrilled with them one time but ended up being excited about the updates.

I think I might pay for the Alice Ripley picture and skip the autograph tables altogether... rather sad. But that leaves money over for shopping!

Yes, the list normally changes quite a bit. Celebs will drop out without any warning and some will show up without notice. However, there was more time between the announcement and the event during previous years, so it will likely not change as much.

I have a question how early do u usually line up for the photo booth and autographs like for the 1 o'clock table how early should you line up?

[Wickedmonkey332]

Posted: 9/10/14 at 9:00pm

I would check in starting half an hour before. Be sure to jump in line before 1:15 as popular tables often do not service everyone. Depending on the popularity of the time slot, lines can start almost an hour before.

Ok , is the photo both separate lines ? , how does that work ?

[Wickedmonkey332]

Posted: 9/10/14 at 9:24pm

Yes the photo booth is a separate line, and it usually much shorter. I have never done the photo booth, but to my understanding: they give time priority to the celebrity who will make them the most money. If ten people want to meet Lena Hall: they will pull her first and allow them to take pictures. You can increase the chances of your celebrity being taken to the photo booth by offering a higher amount (than $20) for the picture. It is all based on demand. If only one person wants to take a picture with someone, they will have to offer quite a sum in
order to have the wish fulfilled. Hope that made some sense!!!

The Live Auction items sound real cool - the chance to be on stage in a number of different shows.. and bidding starts at only 1k! (cough cough)

I've never been to the flea market before and i'm so excited to attend. for some reason i recall looking online at the Photo Booth/autograph options and them being much more exciting with more "famous" people. i would have thought this would be an opportunity to maybe meet alan cumming and michelle williams, or even idina menzel all while raising a lot of money for bcefa. after all, couldn't they raise the prices to meet those "celebrities"? I'd think people who don't usually take photos at the stage door or whatnot would be much more likely to make the money than those who usually do. i could be wrong though, the previous years lists might not have been that much more exciting.

They will probably add more people as it gets closer. Not sure about Alan, Idina, and Michelle though. Hard to say.

I wish there was a way to get them to redo how they do the autograph table/photo booth because it's so unfair to everyone waiting so long in line for the table.

This will be my first flea market. Not that I was planning on doing the autograph table/photo booth, but when I saw this year's list, I would think that most are disappointed. I, also, was expecting bigger names. Hopefully, there will be some updates.

Gleek4114, I'd keep an eye out for Ann Harada just meandering. The last few years I've seen her spend a decent amount of time leisurely wandering around to tables and especially hanging out near the stage when they're doing the live auction finish to the silent auction items (which happens every half hour)...

[LizzieCurry]

Posted: 9/11/14 at 11:11am

There are ALWAYS updates, even up to the day before (or day of?).

I've only done the autograph line once, for Rory O'Malley, but it didn't seem to go too long and I felt like I made up for what I missed by walking around more right after I got out of there.

Usually the "huge" movie stars do not do it. I know the year Paul Rudd was in "Grace" everyone in the cast except for him were at the table. Probably for security and crowd control reasons. Kind of surprised no If/Then cast members, I know LaChanze did it 2 yrs. ago, no Andrew Rannells, no Bernadette? She's typically in the last hour every year. I'm sure there will be updates, but I'm underwhelmed so far. In the past they announced tables that would be participating, I hope they do that soon!

grumpyoptimist- Thanks for the tip! Now that I think about it lots of performers just wonder and take in the event.

I have a question about seeing performers walking around on the day of the flea market. I've heard that if you happen to see performers you want to take a picture with just wondering about, they will sometimes ask you to make a contribution, say $10-20 or so. But where do you pay this money if you just happen to see them around on the street, and they do not belong to a certain table? This is just something I was always curious about.
