As of right now the Marvelous Wonderettes aren't selling anything... I was told they do have a booklet coming out but it hasn't arrived yet.

Just wanted to let you know that they've arrived! It's this really great "1958 Limited Edition Yearbook" that features pictures of the cast and crew, for a $20 donation to BC/EFA. Check it out!

I won't be back until next month but I definitely want to get my hands on one of those. I still can't find it online.

Also, I'm only $135 away from the $500 mark for online fundraising. Deadline is Sunday!

In the Heights was selling signed posters yesterday and they announced that they're auctioning off a walk on role.

Dissappointing at both Hair and N2N.

Hair wasn't selling anything, but at least they were collecting at the door upon exiting. N2N...bubkus.

Hair's posters have not even arrived yet...they are still in that "being printed" process (I checked on Friday at the theatre).

Next To Normal just opened officially the other night. Naturally they would not be participating since BCEFA is one more week and they were in previews up until Wednesday night.

ZEROSE - thanks for the God of Carnage update. I guess they printed a very limited number of posters for BCEFA - that's what they did for Exit The King. I'll have to swing by there to pick up a poster. I kind of wish I didn't buy their signed photo for $50 now...

Best wishes...

Went to Guys and Dolls this past weekend and they weren't selling anything, just cast members with buckets in the lobby.

National Tour of Frost/Nixon was selling an autographed poster (window card) for $20 yesterday. That's the most inexpensive signed poster I've ever seen.

The National Tour of "A Chorus Line" was selling signed windowcards for $20.00 as well.

Are Impressionism and Blithe Spirit still selling autographed window cards?

I just found out that unsigned ones are $20 and signed ones are $40.

Is Desire Under The Elms or 9 to 5 selling signed window cards?

Hi all, sorry if this has been mentioned already, but I was at 33 VARIATIONS this past Saturday and they were offering (among other things) the opportunity, for a $400 donation, to go backstage and have one's picture taken with Jane Fonda. I wonder if anyone did it?!
I also saw BLITHE SPIRIT and BILLY ELLIOT yesterday and Sunday, respectively, and they were offering pretty much what has already been mentioned here--they were still offering the signed window cards for BLITHE, and for BE the signed programs, window cards and the cookbook.

Desire Under The Elms just started previews last week so they would not be eligible to participate. Unsigned posters that you can get signed after the show at the stage door are available only at the theatre...$20 cash only - they don't do credit cards or returns.

9 to 5 opens officially tomorrow night. Thus until tomorrow, it is still in previews and is not participating. Posters that are unsigned are available at the theatre. I don't think they are on sale at any of the Broadway New York stores yet.

BCEFA ENDS THIS WEEKEND. Next week is the big competition to see who raised the most money.

I wonder how that worked out for them. Might be a risky move knowing how much ire Jane still brings out in people. Though, people who don't like her would be staying away from the show. But if they found out about it they might go just to cause a problem. Hmm...I don't know.

I'd pay 400 easy to meet Jane....she's divine....

BCEFA is a great cause, but you can go to the stage door and see her for free.

[Bettyboy72]

Posted: 4/22/09 at 9:51pm

I think meeting her privately backstage would be worth the donation.

9 to 5 doesn't officially open tomorrow. It opens April 30.

Thanks for the clarification...I thought I may have made a mistake when writing it down on the calendar.

I bought an autographed Playbill at August: Osage County last night. Although when I looked at my receipt, they charged me $40 instead of the $20 it was supposed to be! I'm gonna have to call today.

Saw the RENT tour in Rochester last night. Anthony said in the announcement that they had broken the $300,000 mark and this was their last week. They auctioned off and autographed, orange folding chair from the show and a chance to go backstage to meet the cast for $1,000.

Saw the matinee Sunday in Rochester... Anthony said their total was just over $330,000 and they wanted to break $350,000 before the end of collecting (after the evening show). For a special auction Justin brought out a pair of Angel's shoes, autographed by him and worn during the final performance on Broadway and a cast signed poster. The auction at the beginning was between 2 people and the guy in the front was sure he was going to outbid everyone (he was on the phone getting approval from dad) - until the bidding got up to about $1500 and he quit. The total kept going and the cast was visibly moved and appreciative. Watching the cast and audience react to each and every bid was the greatest - congrats to all! The shoes ended up going for $4,750.00.
