But it says Sunday, Sept 15th. Isn't 9/15 a Thursday this year? I'm not just seeing things right?

All kinds of stuff ,like old classic playbills ,magazines,cds,even records .
They also have posters , picture stills & promo photos of broadway shows.There's also a celebrity table were you can get stuff autographed by your favorite broadway & soap opera performers. It's really cool everyone should check it out.

BCEFA flea market is great fun! Last year, Bombay Dreams cast members were taking pictures with fans for $10 each. Also, you have your other broadway shows selling merchandise (Ave Q-it sucks to be me pins) and costumes ect. Its so much fun and you get a great deal on some really unqiue and cool items. My favorite so far has been a glass vase signed by the entire cast of gypsy for $2!!!! Anyone else have a favorite item that they have purchases?

Bernadette Peters, Brian Stokes, Bebe N., Chris Seiber, and Tonya Pinkins, were there last year (plus a bunch i couldn't remember) and of course different cast members from lots of shows.

Gypsy, $2 !?! i want to go but i feel like i'll just be in pain because i can't afford any of the stuff. for those of you who went in the past, are the memorabilia affordable? (on a student budget) lol

oh and Altar Boyz's Easter Bonnet will be there!

it varies from year to year. some years i remember nagging tons of costumes and pictures and all kinds of things (at the rent table all the costumes used to be like 5 bucks). then they started upping the prices of things, but there's still some cheap stuff. if you go, you'll definitely leave with something cool, budget or not.

disclaimer, the 5 dollar costume thing was about 4 or 5 years ago. you'll still find some cheap things -- but not like THAT :)

You can get old playbills or used cast recordings pretty cheap, or maybe even buy baked goods from a cast member! I loved the year that Daisy Egan was selling "Bitter Former Child Star Cookies"!
Is it my imagination, or did the cost for once-through the autograph table go up to $25 last year? Wasn't it $10 a year or two before?
