They might be out of signed Playbills and might only have posters for $250 along with signed Reynolds Pamphlets for $100 (Lin, Jasmine, Sydney).

Cool, thanks! I'll report back after the show on Monday too.

Robber Bridegroom has playbills for $20 and posters for $100- quite a gap there!

Tonight at She Loves Me they were selling playbills for $40, posters for $100, and "dear friend" notes that are actual props used in the show signed by Zac and Laura. They ran out of posters tonight so I don't know if the cast will sign more for future sales or if that's it.

Any new updates?

I was at Hamilton on Monday and all they had were posters for $250. I was a little disappointed. I thought I posted on here on Tuesday but it must have been in the Hamilton thread. 

The "dear friend" notes sound lovely! I don't think I'll be able to swing by there in the next couple weeks though.

Anyone going to Hamilton soon that can pick up an extra poster?

Has The Crucible been participating? I noticed someone with a cast-signed playbill from the show earlier, and it looks too nice to have been obtained via stage dooring.

They have. I think they started this week. I don't know what they're selling though.

Crucible only had posters and playbills. Co t remember the price though. I noticed the playbills came in a protective plastic sleeve. Is this a universal thing now?

Avenue Q had T-shirts that said "Donald Trump is only for now". I heard they sold out of them. I got a hold of one though. They now have buttons that say it.

Anything at Bright Star?

Crucible had signed playbills for 50 dollars and posters for 150 dollars. Ciarán Hinds was holding the donation bucket at the door....

Saturday night, signed programs and posters were 300. I resisted. Not sure how.

Which show are you referring to?  Hamilton?

 

As far as Hamilton selling out of stuff.... can't they just like, sign more??  I'm sure there are plenty of Playbills on hand.  (If not they can order more.)  If they're bringing in $100 a pop for signed Playbills & $250 for posters, wouldn't you think they'd just sign a bunch more?  Since it's for charity & all??

 

That being said, if anyone else is going this week I'd pay $250 for a poster!  My tickets aren't for November & I'm assuming you can't just walk up after the show & buy an item.  (Or can you?)  I saw it once at the Public so I'm definitely a fan.  I decided to see it just once more on Broadway & wish I had decided to go around Broadway Cares fundraising!

Matty, I had no problem just walking in to the Hamilton lobby as the audience was exiting. I don't believe they will turn away a donation just because you didn't see the show that particular night.

Have you ever tried to herd actors?

Oh cool.  Yeah, I was hoping that'd be the case.

Do you know how long they'll be fundraising for?  I'd like to try to go soon before they sell out but I have a concert way up in Washington Heights on Tuesday night & wouldn't be able to go until Wednesday, at the earliest.  (Dumb question but I'm assuming they do fundraising for Wednesday matinees too, right??)

Collections will be done no later than the 24th. And they should have collections on Wednesday matinees.

No collections at King and I on this past Sunday and after today's Weds matinee 

The Crucible - They have a limited amt of 10 posters per show/day?? for $150 as noted above. They only had 3 this past Sunday.

The Crucible is fulfilling signed playbill requests through the mail without asking for a donation.

 

Any news over at Eclipsed?

This past Sunday they had signed Playbills for $20 and signed posters for $100(I think). 

 

I did my typical drop a dollar in the red bucket thing.

I've been so busy this week I still haven't had a chance to make it over to Hamilton.  Does anyone know if they still have signed posters left?

I guess I'll just answer my own question in case anyone else is interested:

Hamilton seems to have a good amount of signed window cards left.  But the price is now $300.  (I guess that's the new price & not just a Saturday night premium?? )

I'll guess I'll be a dork & continue to reply to my previous posts & bump the thread if anyone is interested...

It's the final week or Broadway Cares collections.  Hamilton posters are still available for $300.  I was finally able to get one.  And they have signed Playbills back in stock but now they're $200.
