Ugh. That's cheaper than I thought they'd do them for which makes me want one BADLY.

Saw Cabaret this Monday. They were not doing signed items.

I heard that Cabaret is taking a bit longer on autographing things as Auliʻi is out for Moana 2. 

Last I saw, Gatsby had posters for $200 and Playbills for $75.

Does anyone know what they are asking for the signed Romeo and Juliet playbills?

Last Saturday Romeo and Juliet did not have any items available (or buckets) - they may have started collecting since then though.

When I went last night, signed retro playbills were $100 each and signed posters $200 each.

they also had 1 framed item of the theater and I think it was $300.

The Sunset cards have gone up to $500 as of this past weekend.

I went Friday and was expecting them to be $500, but they were "only" $300. They did say they were getting low on them, so that probably also helped them increase the cost.

MAYBE HAPPY ENDING is offering $80 signed Playbills, $150 signed posters, and a special "Jazz Monthly" magazine (didn't catch the price). Tonight's post-show appeal was delivered by Helen J Shen.

The posters are still at $200 and tonight they were selling 2 signed copies of the Shakespeare books used during the show. I picked up one in which Cole wrote “don’t talk to me or my family ever again!”
