Jersey Boys is doing signed posters, I believe for $50 or $100, I'm not quite sure.

They are doing eBay auctions as well - lots of great things are listed, including props from the show, opening night gifts, rag dolls, etc.

In addition, John Lloyd Young is doing his part by selling signed headshots/playbills for a $50 dollar donation, and a picture of him and his Tony award signed for $100.

Here is what JLY has on his site:
Dear friends and JERSEY BOYS fans,

Twice a year the Broadway community comes together to raise funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative, which benefits women battling breast cancer. JERSEY BOYS has begun fundraising again at the August Wilson Theatre.

Last time around, through this website alone, you helped raise over $12,000 for JERSEY BOYS' efforts, more than 10% of JERSEY BOYS' $110,000 total! Now that JERSEY BOYS is a bona-fide hit and the 2006 Tony-winner for Best Musical, I think you and I together can reach $25,000, this time, and I'm determined for us to get there.

Here are some ways you can help:

For a suggested donation of $50 (though any amount is fine), I will send you a signed photo or signed playbill, personalized to you or a friend or a loved one. If we've posed for a photo together at the stage door, send it to me with a contribution, and I'll sign it and send it back to you.

(To the younger fans, of course if you still live at home with your parents, I will always send you a photo for free. But ask your parents if they'll make the donation for you!)

For a $100 donation, I will send you a personalized, signed snapshot of me with my Tony Award at home!

One of the most important ways you can help, whether you can make a donation or not, is to cut and paste this message into an e-mail and send it to your friends, family and fellow JERSEY BOYS fans.

I will list all contributors here on the blog. You are welcome to make your contribution in memory or tribute to someone, as well. For those of you who donated before, please consider doing so again.

Make your check out to "BC/EFA" and send it to me at:
John Lloyd Young, c/o JERSEY BOYS, 245 W. 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019.

Does anyone know what the Drowsy poster looks like? Is it the red/maroon one with just writing on it? I've seen one that has pictures at the bottom and was wondering if this is the one they are selling.

I saw Jersey Boys on Thurday (11/9/06) and they were collecting donations after the show at the door for BC/EFA. For a $40.00 donation I got to be in a picture with the 4 guys. I got a polaroid with a photo holder that had the 4 guys signature in it. They were also selling autographed posters and also the Christmas music CD (I think it was autographed too).


At "Fame Becomes Me" this afternoon, they auctioned an autographed photo of Martin Short that was used in the show. They were also collecting donations at the door after the show.

Times... has nothing. All they have is sweet ol' Michael Arden and Thom Sesma just saying PLEASE, PLEASE DONATE! And they joked around. I even donated ten bucks because I felt inspired.
Drowsy's poster is the maroon one, sadly they don't have a very interesting poster. I wish they had the record cover or something funny like that.

I was in NYC ( I live in Asia) in late November to early December 2003 - and it was so much fun to be able to see the post-show auctions. The most exciting was what was happening at THE BOY FROM OZ. They would think of anything ( can you imagine bidding for a signed pumpkin prior to Halloween?) and everything to auction off -LOL. So, when they had the GYPSY finale event, there was a thunderous ovation for the company of TBFO for having raised a record-breaking amount, which I guess is not likely to be toppled even this year.

For one, the prices of the usual items seem to be even lower than before. I remember a signed poster ( by the entire cast) being sold at $ 100 and people happily paying for it. A photo with Hugh onstage was being auctioned off at $ 500 ( limited only to 20 a night) and his t-shirts and towels ( complete with DNA ) were fetching four- even five-digit figures.

The CD could be priced slightly higher - that is still the price of a few years ago.

I am also surprised that the Jersey Boys offerings are not priced higher. What about Wicked's offerings - are they particularly attractive? These are sold-out shows and they could bring in excellent donation levels. This is for a good cause!

When I went to Fame Becomes Me it was the night Bette Middler was there. They had nothing to offer, but they did raise a ton of money because they dragged Bette onstage after curatin call to sing "The Rose" with Marc on the piano.

Carols For A Cure is a two-CD set that is released every year. It includes songs from most of the casts on Broadway, as well as some Off-Broadway ones. It costs $20 and I strongly recommend it as it is very good every year, and goes to a good cause.

Today at DROWSY, you could have your photo taken with Sutton for 20 bucks. In addition to the Cures CD and signed poster and Playbill, they are selling the holiday cards Sutton designed.

On Saturday, GREY GARDENS was selling the buttons they used to give away, and that's all. No one did an "ask" at the end of the show either. I only knew about the proceeds from the sale of the buttons going to BC/EFA because I wanted to buy one. I asked, "How much are the buttons? and someone said, "A dollar...oh, and the money goes to Broadway Cares."
