I don’t know if I can go because of money BCEFA Flea Market Collectors Unite! But I’ll play it by ear.

So, is it one table or multiple tables? How does the photo booth work?

The incredibly boring autograph table list is up. They’re just not even trying anymore.

I don't get it. It makes sense given what shows are playing/opening soon.

I know I’ve read ppl say you have to pick one or the other.....but if you lined up early for the autographs- is there any way you could still get lucky and be able to do the photo booth too? Is there a long line to make requests?

And also- does anyone have experience with wanting a few ppl in a photo? Would I have a better chance at that towards the end of the session?

I'm really looking for GHD merch/props/scripts. Do I have a good chance of finding those or would most of them have been snatched up last year?

Phantom masks? No. I’ve heard in the past that all Phantom masks are archived. All Phantom usually has is stage sheet music/programs (signed and unsigned), black name plates from past ensemble performers, and pieces of props.

What does the Jujamcyn table usually have?

I don't think Jujamcyn itself has had a table before (correct me if I'm wrong). It might be that Mormon didn't have enough people or stuff for an entire table the whole day? Or it's random items from Jujamcyn employees or their office.

My daughter would like to go to her first Broadway Flea this year. She is not interested in any items in particular, may want to do a photo booth or autograph table. The main thing she wants to do is add to her collection of Playbills.  Not looking for anything particular, just anything that catches her eye. Would we be okay getting there mid afternoon?

I remember last year once it got close to the end of the day, they'd do deals like a certain number of playbills for x amount of money, maybe a few for one dollar or five dollars. Definitely wait on getting them, unless you're looking for specific playbills.

As a flea market newbie...

What table(s) would have items from recently closed shows? 

What kind of stuff would the non-show tables have? Any in particular I should prioritize?

Sometimes you'll find stuff from closed shows because actors who were in those shows are in current ones and are off-loading them. There was a decent amount of Lestat stuff at the Book of Mormon table the first or second year.

Gotcha—thanks!! The website said there is a table specifically for shows that recently closed, I just wasn’t sure where that would be on the map.

That specific table is called "Curtain Call" on the map.

My 10-year-old son has been yearning to complete the collection of autographs on his Cursed Child playbill by snagging Jamie Parker and Paul Thornley, so I'm considering taking him to the flea market this year to make it happen. BCEFA says that anyone entering the autograph table must make a donation, and I'd rather not shell out the cash for three people (the kiddo with the Playbill, myself, and his younger brother who will be in tow and has zero interest in any of this). Could anyone give me the scoop if it would be feasible to hang back while he goes through autograph line on his own, or would I be sending him into a crazy rugby scrum where I wouldn't be able to keep an eye on him from afar?

The line is actually well organized, so I wouldn't be too worried sending him through alone. Just stand with him until he pays and is about to get on the porch at Juniors. And then wait by the exit in Shubert Alley.

I would love if everyone keeps an eye out for the signed invitations from FOLLIES.

I know it’s a very long shot but I look for them every year just in case. Not a day goes by that I don’t regret having bought the whole set instead of picking and choosing a few. If anyone has any extras and is willing to sell, please message me!

They have had Phantom masks in the Grand Auction a couple times, but those sold for many thousands.
