Jersey Boys had some stuff but I only remember a signed Tote bag.

Hair did not do an announcement after the Sat Mat and ROA did an announcment but I didnt catch what they were selling.

In the Heights had signed playbills ($40), signed posters ($100), and you could have your photo taken with Corbin Bleu for $60.

Yet Corbin still takes pictures with everyone at the SD? interesting.

The Scottsboro Boys made a plea and had signed posters for $30 and signed playbills for $10.

Anyone know if ALL ABOUT ME or MIRACLE WORKER were selling collectibles post-show?

Next To Normal - Kyle Dean Massey did a short speech and said "members of our company" so I automatically thought it would be the actors holding the buckets. Even thought it wasn't I still gave money. :)

I saw both ALL ABOUT ME and MIRACLE WORKER today and neither of them even collected money.

South Pacific is selling signed Playbills, posters, CDs and Seabee hats.

At A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE tonight they were collecting money and offering Opening Night Playbills signed by the entire cast for $100

At YANK on Sunday they collected money, spoke about the calendars which will soon be for sale (they had a sign-up sheet) and joked about selling cast members (saying Bobby would be expensive but Jeffry was not...)

At A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC on Saturday evening they collected money, but didn't have any additional items for 'sale'.

No collections at GOD OF CARNAGE on Friday.

(busy Broadway week for me! )

Miracle Worker and All About Me are both closing out of the blue on Sunday. All about me just recently had their opening night and never started with BCEFA. I doubt they'll do anything for them now that they have 4 performances left. Same with Miracle Worker...I was there last weekend and I had to explain what BCEFA was to the ushers and say BCEFA and Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids about 4 times to about 3 different people before it rang a bell. They referred to it as "the aids thing" in a very puzzled tone.

Did VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE have any more signed posters? I may rush over tonight if they do.

Anyone know about WHEN THE RAIN STOPS FALLING? Do they have signed posters? This is the current off Broadway show up at Lincoln Center playing at the Mitzi Newhouse theatre.

I saw Race on Wednesday night. There was a plea, but no items for sale.

Night Music now has a limited quantity of Opening Night Playbills signed by the full company for $50.

Hair made an announcement after the Wednesday night show. They are selling $100 signed posters and a few other things. They also collected donations using red buckets as the audience files out after the dance party.

GOD OF CARNAGE is selling signed posters now, $100 each. And the signed Playbills at ALNM are selling very well so if you do want one, don't wait.

To those asking:

Corbin has been staying inside the theatre specifically during SD time to take those pictures with the fans, and not going out afterwards, at least the few times I've been there.

Also, I'd like to add that in my opinion, Montego's delivery of the BC/EFA speech at curtain call is far more compelling than any of the lines she delivers during the actual show! It's very funny.

Dreamgirls tour has signed posters and they collect

Good luck to BC/EFA to raise a lot of money this spring.

[JT2030]

Posted: 4/7/10 at 3:29pm

Anyone catching shows over spring break notice any new / interesting things?

The fundraising at IN THE HEIGHTS last night was pretty terrific - kudos to Corbin for being such a spirited member of the company & willing to take what appeared to be a ton of pictures post-show for Broadway Cares.

Is Lend Me a Tenor or Million Dollar Quartet selling signed posters or anything else?

[dshnookie]

Posted: 4/22/10 at 9:22pm

I saw Tenor on 4/10 and they didnt even make a plea after the curtain call.

This fundraising season seems to be a little dull for some reason. It seems that some shows are not participating, and the items don't seem as interesting as in the past IMO.

There was an article online about Red selling pieces of canvas (which would be interesting) -- does anyone know anything about it?

At the 4/17 matinee of A Little Night Music, Catherine Zeta-Jones said that whatever amount they collected that day, she would match with her own money. I thought that was pretty nice of her.

I kinda agree. I mean, I'm glad they're doing it in the first place since it's for such a great cause, but I love it when a show sells something unique to its show - a prop, something associated with that show, hell even Daniel Radcliff's pants/Hugh Jackman's shirt/something along those lines. Or a photo-op with a cast member like Corbin Bleu is doing is a great idea.

"Or a photo-op with a cast member like Corbin Bleu is doing is a great idea."

But didn't someone say that he takes pictures with fans at the stage door right after that?
