It might just depend on staff, cast, and stock of products.

I was there the night the manuscript for Spring Awakening was sold, and that was the one and only.

I was also there over Easter weekend, and it just might have been too much for some shows.

Don't count on being able to get in after the show, some of the donations are hidden far within the theatre, and I doubt they would let someone walk in. Plus, I think it would be difficult to fight the crowd.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Saw two shows today and managed to pick up the following signed window cards:

Sunday In The Park With George - $75 (got to talk with Daniel for a while - very nice guy)
Passing Strange - $40
In The Heights - $100

Gypsy wasn't selling anything. Very sad - hoping to pick up a window card.

Does anyone know if November is selling signed window cards?

Thanks.

Last night at SPRING AWAKENING they were selling a diary/notebook belonging to Jonathon Groff (or maybe it was John Gallagher, I get those names confused) that he used during his run in the show. Sold for $1000!

I'll be at NOVEMBER tomorrow and will let you know what they have.

Ha, wonder what's written in it? (And that would be Jonathan Groff, yeah.)

NOVEMBER has posters signed by the entire cast for $60.

GREASE & CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF are both participating in the collections but are not selling anything.

Yesterday at SPRING AWAKENING they also sold a plush bear signed by Black Bashoff, that plays "Totally F*CKed" when you press a button for $500.

In case anyone is wondering, Jersey Boys and Wicked in Chicago are both collecting. They have been auctioning off backstage tours and signed prop Sherry music for Jersey Boys. Not sure about Wicked. I was there on Wednesday and the Sherry sheet music signed by Frankie Valli went for $650. That was the only auction that night. From what I've heard from some people who work there as ushers, the backstage tour has gone for as much as $1500 dollars. They also had signed windowcards and playbills available, not sure how much.

Why wouldn't a show like Spamalot be participating? They could make a small fortune selling signed window cards with all the Clay fans around.

Wicked was selling window cards for $75 and photos of individual cast members (not sure who exactly) for, I think, $20.

DrewT, do you remember all the things The Little Mermaid was selling? Thanks!

Wicked was selling signed photos of Stephanie and Annaleigh for $25, I think.

Last night, Xanadu was selling cookbooks, "take a picture with Tony Roberts ($20)," and buttons with cast photos and phrases on them - $5 (ie. Cheyenne holding skate with "Huzzah" and Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman and cast with "Evl Women")

When I saw Xanadu in December, they had signed window cards, are they not doing that for the Spring? I kick myself for not having bought one, might try to make it back to the theater when I'm in the city in April if they still have them.

I don't know why SPAMALOT is not collecting. I don't believe they did for this past Gypsy of the Year or last year's Easter Bonnet either.

I love the creative things some shows come up with to collect money (Groff's diary? Ha!) When I saw In The Heights, they were selling signed playbills for $40 and signed posters for $100. I didn't see any windowcards. There was also an auction for a personalized voicemail greeting by Lin-Manuel. It sold for $450, but I was told it went for $1200 the previous night.

In The Heights wasn't selling anything when I went on Saturday. No speech and no buckets.

I was at Gypsy on Sunday and they weren't selling anything for BC/EFA...Im going back into the city this coming weekend to see Mermaid, Rent, Grease and Wicked...Has what these shows been selling changed? I would really like something from Mermaid, Rent, and Grease...I went to Wicked in December and got a signed poster so I will probably just drop some money in the bucket at Wicked.
