It was actually the purple one that was inside the theatre, in the lobby. It was at the Creative Goods table, I paid $75.

I can't believe how inexpensive most of the materials purchased are. $1 for an Addams Family CD? I'd even buy that. But, the odd signed thing going for a few shekels is so crazy to me. Where does much of this stuff come from? Warehouses in Jersey? A friend bought me a Capeman sweatshirt years ago and that's the total of my experience with the flea market.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:29pmDid anyone buy Tommy Tune's signed tap shoes? I wanted to buy them, but they looked too small to actually be his.
#134Best finds at the Flea Market?
Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:32pm^ I would have, but it was $100. And it was only one shoe.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:33pmYou're right, it was one shoe! Do you think it was his? It looked so small.
#136Best finds at the Flea Market?
Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:38pmHonestly, I have no idea. To me, anything above a size 8 in ladies looks huge. Probably because I wear smaller than that.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:40pmLOL, gotcha! I would have loved to have bought that shoe. But I know that Tommy Tune has HUGE feet so I highly doubt it was his. Perhaps he did sign it, though.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 12:42pmHey, did anyone here by the used electric guitar for $50 that was at the end of the ImagineOcean table? If so, would you be willing to sell it? :)

I don't have one (did buy an Evita program, though! it goes nicely with the one from LA I bought on ebay), but they do pop up on ebay regularly.

I got something I thought was interesting -- somebody's Playbill binder from 1965-1966, with Playbills from shows with Rosemary Harris, Alan Alda, Lauren Bacall, Maureen Stapleton, Robert Duvall, Jon Voight, Anne Bancroft, John Gielgud, and Jason Robards, in major roles. I wonder, when we look back on this past season's shows 45 years from now, which stars' names will still be recognizable.
The original owner also wrote down who went with him/her (Allan Blumstein and Deedee Winner, whoever they are, got to see some pretty good shows) and some other notes, including that "Roger" walked out of the invited dress rehearsal of the Lincoln Center production of Danton's Death with Stacy Keach and James Earl Jones at intermission. Good thing for Danton's Death that Roger didn't have access to the BWW message boards at the time!

Posted: 9/28/10 at 2:11pmI think it'd be cool if you could track down Allan or Deedee; I bet they'd love to see those Playbills and would have amazing stories to tell.

That would be cool if they could be found. For many of the shows, the owner says they were in standing room, so they were probably young and poor back then. There is also a program from a student production at Boston University and other shows in Boston, so maybe the owner was a student there at the time (although Allan and Deedee appear to have been in New York).
I forgot to mention that there is a Playbill of Barefoot in the Park, with a photograph of a very young Penny Fuller and "Anthony Roberts" on the cover.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 2:25pmOk, this may be mildly off-topic, but I just have to say this. I chose to do the autograph line a couple times this year, never having done it before, and at the 1:00 table, I saw something that really shocked me. There was some girl in line, she looked to be maybe 16? who asked Orfeh for a signature on one of those foamboard posters of some kind, and she completely lost her cool. She looked furious, and annoyed, huffing and rolling her eyes at both Andy and Mandy Gonzalez, who were seated on either side of her, and slamming her hand, and pen down on the table after it appeared that she would refuse to sign it. It seems someone said something to her, and she did in fact sign the poster, but who behaves like this at a charity event? I have no idea what the backstory is for this or what caused her to act so outraged and immature, but I will say that an autograph line, for which donations are taken, is not the place to take out your anger. A few people around me in line commented and were confused about what was going on.

I don't know Orfeh any more than you do, but I would tend to think that someone who is doing a charity autograph table knows what to expect and would be unlikely to randomly lose their cool in that setting. The two things I can think of that might have led to that would be if the fan unintentionally said something that seemed inappropriate or insulting, or if the item itself was sketchy. Do you know what the item was? Some actors won't sign cheesecake shots, for example.
(I hope it doesn't come across that I'm blaming the fan. Even if the fan did something weird, that's still not a reason to be huffy. And we don't even know if the fan did something. I'm just curious as to what have led to the behavior.)

Mikem, the item was one of the foam playbills sold in the silent auction, I believe. I didn't catch which show the playbill was from. Like I said, no idea what happened or anything, but she did visibly lose her cool, I wasn't the only one who noticed it. I agree, it was strange for it to happen at a charitable event, and at an autograph table where one would presumably be expecting to sign many items.
ETA: I hope that doesn't come off too short, I don't mean to be, I'm just as confused as you as to what could've led to whatever it was that happened. It was just very unnerving to watch, I was certainly a little afraid to approach her after that! Though, I have to say, she was perfectly nice to me.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 2:54pmI mean, I could understand being a little annoyed if it was going over the 2 items per celebrity limit, but I don't think visibly losing your cool is the way to go.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 3:16pmThe only foamboard poster that I saw and know of that went through the line was SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER (held by the girls in front of me) and she was a sweetheart to them...

Posted: 9/28/10 at 3:23pmQuizking101, I didn't see the poster to know if that was the same one/the same girl. I was about in the middle of the line, if that helps?
