I was at The Bridges of Madison County tour tonight, and they sold signed Playbills for $20 and signed posters for $40. They also auctioned off Andrew Samonsky's undershirt, which ended up including a photo op for the winner as well.

Fiddler started tonight-Playbills for $40, and Posters, but not sure the price-Danny did the Broadway Cares pitch in about 20 seconds because the show is so long that's all the time they have to spare at the end of the show before overtime kicks in.
I ask know Mormon started tonight-If the same as last collection season, posters for $200, and backstage tour for $2500.
Here is the full details on the collections from the BC/EFA Facebook:
This year's ?#BroadwayBonnets? Competition is set for April 25 & 26 at the Minskoff Theater. Fundraising begins tonight at 11 shows: Aladdin - The Musical, The Book of Mormon on Broadway, Chicago The Musical, The Color Purple Musical, Fiddler on the Roof, Fun Home on Broadway, The Humans on Broadway, The Lion King - Musical, The Phantom of the Opera, School of Rock the Musical, and Trip of Love. Many National Tours have already begun their fundraising around the country including Jersey Boys, Kinky Boots on Broadway, and WICKED The Musical.

As of today's matinee, the Cabaret tour isn't yet collecting. I'm sure the will start on Tuesday since it will be a new city.

Caught the matinee of THE HUMANS today and they're doing signed playbills and posters. I believe they were $25/50.

Just stopped at Hamilton. Signed playbills for $100 and signed invitations for $100 appeared to be the lowest priced items

The King and I didn't collect anything last night - but it was Hoon Lee's final show and of course, his accident a couple of weeks ago...

At today's Hamilton matinee Jon Groff made the speech and said they're almost all sold out of everything - they had signed playbills and letter props but that was it. Not sure how much they were.

I was at She Loves Me last night and they were collecting money, but had no Playbills or posters. If you donate $20, however, you could take a picture with Gavin Creel. I was one of the suckers who did it because I was too tired for the stage door. Apparently though I was not to tired to walk 8 blocks and past the (crazy) stage door crowd at Kinky Boots to Schmackary's. But that doesn't matter.

I'm guessing Wicked will have signed posters soon...
