You can never trust Apple weather :)

Anyone there while they are setting up?

I'm there right now. None of the boxes are unpacked yet. The weather is pretty gross.... It's humid and cloudy. And it's been drizzling on and off

SO. FVCKING. HUMID.

I'm back home taking a short break and unpacking. So far I found an entire OBC WICKED window card for $30 and some signed Carol King BEAUTIFUL things for $20 each, plus a crap load of books and other assorted stuffs. Not too bad so far!

I'm happy with my purchases so far - I found a Wicked OBC playbill for $1, a Patti LuPone Anything Goes playbill for 50 cents, and a Next to Normal playbill for 50 cents. I also made a beeline to the Matilda table and snatched up the only opening night gift they had ($10), and I bought one of the paper airplanes from Revolting Children for $1. The paper airplanes are so cute - they're Amanda Thripp's "report card."

Taking a break right now. Have not gotten to the north side of 44th yet. Happy with my purchases so far. I got a lobster from Blue Man Group. It was only $5 & it will be a good addition to my random theater stuff collection.

Thus far I got a signed Lindsay Mendez dressing room label from Wicked and a newspaper from Newsies that I got Andy Richardson to sign. Can I just how much respect I have for the Newsies cast. Their show closed and all of the leading Newsies are there working the table and signing autographs.

Probably between 5 & 6. Some tables already are discounting stuff. But, I'm waiting to see if anything else does.

Gotta agree about the Newsies guys - posing and even doing the 'newsies jump' for pics. Really impressed


Got an autographed Wicked prop (50) and signed 10th anniversary playbill for $10. Picked up a few ornaments and books.

Yes, I did see a Beautiful Vinyl, but I believe it was $100 and I only saw one.

I grabbed a bunch of things, but the two I'm most excited about are original cast Playbills of A Little Night Music and Follies, for only $0.50 each... Bless that incredible Dancers Over 40 table!

My favorite part of the day was the girl who was screaming and sobbing because she "finally found" a ROCK OF AGES playbill.

I just read that the meet & greet with Idina went for $16K - can anyone confirm?

And some teenager is tweeting about winning the auction - for a parent to be able to spend $16,000 for their kid to meet their idol [again] is...wow.

Glad it's for a good cause!

I really hope a list of the final auction prices will go up somewhere... Curious about a number of the items.

@ veronicamae- $16k?! Christ.

I spotted a tweet that someone bid $12k for the Hugh Jackman meet-n-greet, but that may not have been the last bid.

Lots of rich people participating...


Edit to add: If some teenager was bidding...I have to wonder if they're bidding without full blessings from the parents (I've seen that more than once in other auction situations). I don't know how Broadway Cares does it, but hopefully they take the contacts for the top three bidders or something in case something falls through.

The meet and greet went for $8k, but the two highest bidders agreed to each pay $8k for a total of $16k.

However, the "Let It Go" musical phrase signed by Idina went for $9k and I believe they did the same thing where two people agreed to pay that amount for their own copies.

My favorite thing of the day was that the Cinderella table was passing off either pre-printed or stamped Fran Drescher signatures as real.
