If anyone happened to get a current cast signed WAITRESS poster, I was unable to go today and would love to purchase it. PM me. Thank you.

I like the Frozen shirts. Some of them are really soft. I wonder if they're holding back closed show merch or if there just wasn't a lot of it. Nothing from Mean Girls?"
I suspect some of the closed show merchandise will be used up on tour - a Fetch t-shirt should sell as well on the road as it did when Mean Girls was playing on Broadway, and so long as the inner logo doesn't specify location, they can send the boxes wherever.

One of my favorite things I scored was a collection of paper props from Ragtime. The guy running the table thought they were from one of the Broadway productions, but couldn't tell me which one. Does anyone here know? I'm guessing they're from the revival since they're in very good condition, but it'd be nice to know for sure.
for any unsold items..... do they just put it in storage for another year and sell them again fall 2022?

Wow, surprised someone was still hanging onto stuff from Shuffle Along and Young Frankenstein. Keeps things interesting.

The Jujamcyn table had souvenir programs, the Fetch hats, cast recordings, socks, magnets, button sets, and a plethora of playbills (both signed and not signed) from the run including March 2020 featuring Sabrina Carpenter. I ended up buying a signed closing cast playbill for $20 (originally $40) toward the end of the day.
The table (Curtain Call, I believe) by the front of Shubert Alley near the Junior’s sign and directly across from the Shubert had signed posters and playbills. I ended up buying one of the posters and it’s a mix of some Original Broadway cast folks (Grey, Erika, Barrett, Kate) and some of the newer/closing cast members (Chad, Laura Leigh, among others). It was kind of a cool find I didn’t even realize until I got back and looked it over.
I feel like there will be plenty of Mean Girls things popping up for years to come.
I definitely agree with people saying it was less crowded and pretty much everyone I saw was wearing masks. The most crowded I saw a table was the Curtain Call table (I think that was it across from the Shubert) where people were waiting around there when I got there around 9:30.
I never really have my heart set on anything but I know what I like and what I want. I ended up spending more this year than I have in years past, but I do love a good toward the end of day lap or two for deals.
I got:
• Signed posters from Mean Girls (mixed OBC/closing cast), Frozen (OBC including Patti and Caissie), and Dear Evan Hansen (Andrew Barth Feldman cast) for $50. - They had a deal of 2 for $30 or $20 each and considering how much signed posters go for, it felt like a steal. One annoying drawback was the DEH posters were all stuck together and a lot of them were ripped or torn at the bottom or sides, but I found one that was in pretty good shape overall.
• First Broadway preview Dear Evan Hansen hat - $40 (I haggled it down from $80).
• Dear Evan Hansen Tony Voter booklet - $30 (I haggled it down from $40).
• Mean Girls signed March 2020 cast (Sabrina Carpenter) - $20 (Bought toward the end of the day, down for $40 earlier on).
• Kinky Boots hat - $10
• Torch Song hat - $5
• Mean Girls cast recording - $5
• Dear Evan Hansen tour tote bag - $2
• Broadway Cares tote bag - free with purchase
At one point in the day, Alex Brightman was at the Beetlejuice table just hanging out, signing things, and taking photos. He was masked as was everyone who went up to him and photos were taken slightly distanced. It was so nice to see him and he was as always just a delight.
As always, I took a couple breaks for food and just general rest, but overall it was a pretty decent day and it was just nice to have a actual Broadway Flea Market this year.
Does anyone know anything about the live auction? I never stay to watch and am curious about how that went.
My haul:
Original Company Souvenir program
Spamalot script
Broadway Cares tee from the 2019-2020 season
King & I tee
Frozen tee ( Only one I wanted)
Various cups
Tony voter pamphlet from Spamalot that looks like it was signed by Casey Nicholaw
SNL Christmas card that was sent out by Lorne Michaels
Hedwig Mug
Opening night gift bracelet from Oklahoma revival
Moulin Rouge February 2020 Playbill
Mean Girls December 2019 Playbill
Note pads

It seems like it. Maybe not everything, but there definitely sometimes seems like some stuff, like shirts, stick around for various flea markets.

I had a good time. Here's what I got:
- signed Mean Girls closing cast Playbill ($40)
- unsigned Mean Girls Christmas Playbill ($20)
- full cast signed Hillary and Clinton Playbill ($10)
- signed The New One Playbill ($10)
- $20 worth of Pick-a-Tik, but didn't win
Also, I don't remember what table it was on, but did anyone else see that truly heinous Kristin Chenoweth bobblehead?? It was a bobblehead of her throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game, but it looked nothing like her to the extent that it was almost insulting.

Was there any INHERITANCE signage anywhere? I really looked around hoping to see some but didn’t.
I don't recall seeing any.
I almost forgot, I got over to the TDF pik a ticket when they were selling off their leftovers for $40 & managed to get a voucher for Girl From the North Country. I have never gotten that lucky before.

My Broadway Flea wasn’t bad either! I got a Dear Evan Hansen Livhts of of Nroadway Card for 5 dollars, a Dear Evan Hansen cast (worn by Andrew Barth Feldman) for 50 which I was shocked was so low and that they had any left. I was disappointed with how much they were selling those Dear Evan Hansen hats for. They have winter hats on there merch website for much cheaper and that are just as cute! I was also disappointed they didn’t have more Cursed Child stuff. But what I think I got is really unique and I love it!
Every year I try the TDF thing and every year i get either Stomp, Perfect Crime or that Bubbles Show. So i was thrilled this year when I got….Stomp.
