Merch for shows is hit or miss - just interested in hearing what you think was top tier merch from your showgoing experiences.

The keychain of CATS: The Jellicle Ball is amazing. Although it is kind of large, I really love it.

The VERY sturdy blue "Rise Up" coffee mug from "Leap of Faith" that I use almost every morning to this day.

My favorite Window Card is from "Shuffle Along". My favorite program (That was stolen) was from the original production of "The Wiz".

The last really nice show program I bought was from the last Company revival.  

My favorite window card is from the last Pippin revival.

I bought t-shirts from Parade & Gutenberg even though it feels a bit cringe to go around with certain actor's faces plastered over my torso.  For Chess I went with the "One Night in Bangkok" t-shirt over the one with the photo of the cast.  In person that shirt just doesn't look very good.  My fave shirt for a long time was the Mean Girls one with all the character names.  It was fun seeing people reading it & either totally not understanding it or those few who would clue in right away to what the names were from.  But once the show toured I stopped wearing it out much.

I’m a big fan of the wicked glitter globes. I have most of them. I’d love a new one but it’s been a few years since they’ve released one. The ones that came out from the movie aren’t as nice.

I have to add my yellow "A Strange Loop" hoodie. I wear it a lot. Very comfy. 

Will also add the Window Card from "Nevermore...." as a favorite.

When the Roundabout production of Sunday in the Park with George was selling librettos signed by Sondheim for very reasonable prices.
