Was at Pippin last Wednesday night and they must have upped the price to $100 for posters.

Gentleman's Guide had the cast collecting and taking pictures for a donation, as well as signed window cards and playbills. Can't remember prices, sorry.

As of the Sat 4/5 mat, Of Mice and Men is now collecting. Usual buckets, signed playbill by O'Dowd and Franco $40, full cast $80. Note: I got to the sales table as quickly as i could (on the 8th Ave side of the exit doors), the woman before me had just bought the last full cast playbill (plenty of James and Chris left) so don't dawdle. From stage they also "auctioned" an opportunity to come on stage and take a picture with "any individual cast member you want," (Franco was really camping up the ANY one up here you want). They did an auction, but as soon as it hit $1000 (in about 5 bids) Franco announced that they would do it for anyone willing to pay $1000. Looked like there were at least 3 takers (and a lot of girls pleading with parents)

That's great that OF MICE AND MEN is jumping on it early. Did they mention if they were going to do posters down the line?

Any update at RAISIN IN THE SUN, ALL THE WAY, IF THEN, & LES MIS?

I heard that Heathers was auctioning off something last night. Not sure what it was. I wasn't there.

Musicman, they did not. Franco did his part of the bucket ask entirely reading off a note card, so this may have been their first perf collecting

If/Then had signed playbills tonight for $25 and posters for $100, both signed by the entire cast. Idina joked that for 5 million dollars she and Anthony would sing "Seasons of Love"

Kinky Boots was selling Aprons (I forget the price...$75 I want to say), signed posters of the current cast for $100, and signed posters from the OBC and Cydni, Jerry, Harvey for $500. A pair of customized boots in a special Price and Sons box was $1500.

Heathers today sold signed playbills for $50 I think, and auctioned a signed Mallet and Blue Ball which went for $150. Barret Weed offered to kiss the buyer on the mouth if they went above $100!

Matilda gave a speech, but sadly didn't sell anything! Has anyone gone recently, and know if this is a normal thing this season? In the fall they sold a few things, and I would love to buy a signed playbill or poster.

Looks like If/Then sold one of their "Let it Go" cue cards from the GMA performance and it went for $5,000!

Last time Kinky Boots was collecting for BC/EFA the aprons were $40.

Heathers tonight (Mon 4/7) signed Playbills for $40, auctioned autographed croquet mallet that went for for $375. I stopped at $325...from the previous post, sounds like I went on the wrong night. Barrett Weed was in the lobby taking pictures, did not hear what that went for but there was a of people doing it so I assume not too much

When I went to Aladdin, last Wednesday, they were selling posters for $100 and "You ain't never had a chef like me" aprons (don't remember that price). They also did backstage tours for $200! I got a poster and the tour. The tour was so worth it. It was $200 for up to 4 people (any additional people was just an added donation of $50). You were taken onstage and allowed to take any pictures that you wanted. You were guaranteed pictures with Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed - and you got to hold the magic lamp! It's a lot heavier than I expected. Stage management did the tour and explained a few things, pointed out certain set pieces or props, etc. Wonderful tour and so worth it!

If/Then is now selling its signed posters for $200.

^^Glad I got mine for the $100! Also picked up a playbill for $25- have they gone up in price? Really wanted a Les Miz poster, hope they start soon, might be unlikely with the time that's left!

On Sunday they were out of playbills. I'm sure they will jack up the price on those. Sometimes the pricing is so arbitrary. The cast is supposed to have a say & some of the volunteers who don't work for BCEFA shouldn't randomly change prices without an okay. A friend was there before the matinee left out on Sunday and he was like 15 people deep. Someone in front of him was buying 10 posters. They were $220 a piece.

As far as Les Mis, they still have 12 more days, so they should be able to participate. A few weeks ago they said eh I don't know, but I know different people who have gone there every day since then to ask. Les Miz should bring in a gold mine for them.

Any update on RAISIN IN THE SUN?

Bridges got signed posters for $100. I think they have signed playbills too but I don't know how much they are.

At All The Way yesterday they were selling signed playbills for $40, signed posters for $100, signed newspaper(s) for $100, signed (I think) pennants for $100 and LBJ memos signed by Bryan. They were also selling backstage photos for a price I did not catch.

Matilda were selling playbills signed by all four Matildas for $40.

Any update on RAISIN?

Has anyone been back by OF MICE AND MEN? Any posters in?

Are the If/Then signed Playbills still $25?

[musicman_bwayfan]

Posted: 4/10/14 at 9:26pm

Considering the posters were $100 Saturday and then Sunday the posters were $220 and every single playbill they had sold on Saturday (day #1 for them), I doubt that the next batch will be $25. I wouldn't be surprised if they made them between $50-100.
