Aida Playbill signed by some of the original cast.
RENT Playbill signed by the ENTIRE (Yes, ENTIRE.) original cast! (The guy working at the RENT table said that was the only complete one they had.
Wicked Playbill signed by Idina, Kristin, Norbert and Carole [Shelley]
Wicked poster signed by the same.
Fiddler on the Roof poster signed by the whole cast, but I'm not sure if they are all the originals.
Avenue Q poster signed by everyone.
Boy From Oz poster signed by the entire cast.
Hairspray script signed by the cast that left May 2nd, 2004. (The ones who left, and the ones who stayed.)
A CD with Harvey on it to put on an answering machine.
And, I won the silent auction for the Harvey as Edna bobble-head! Signed by Harvey.

Very exciting day! I forgot to look for a Wicked script though, whoops!

Taboo poster
BC/EFA tote bag
Gypsy of the Year DVD
AIDA playbill signed by the OBC
Some random old playbills: Cabaret ("Stagebill" version), Rocky Horror and the Music Man
Disney on Broadway poster (Aida, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King... it was a dollar!)
and something I'm not going to discuss.

I wanted that AIDA gourd thing they were auctioning SOOOOOOOOO badly, but there was no way I could dish out that much cash.

Edit: No ponine, didn't see Adam.

Yes, it is for an awesome cause. I am just curious to know how much all of this was.

BwayTheatre11 -- One, it doesn't matter. Two, if it did, who cares? Three, it's for a great cause.

It wasn't cheap, i can tell you that. But,we know where it's going, so. That, and it's tax deductable. :X

Woah, back off. If you do not want to tell me how much, than just say that. I realize that it is for an awesome cause. BC/EFA is such a wonderful organization. Usually at these auctions/flea markets, everything is very expensive.

I forgot about my Little Shop poster! It's signed by the original Broadway cast, but it wasn't expensive, because, well, you know... It's Little Shop. Lol. I still loved the show, even it loads of people didn't.

BT11, some stuff was heinously expensive, but there was a lot of stuff that really wasn't that bad. I paid $10 for my AIDA playbill, since the OBC signed it and $1 each for the others. The poster was $20. I didn't buy anything *too* outrageous.

Oof! I also got a picture of Heather Headly that she signed. That was only $5, so... Also, my Aida Playbill was $10 too.

Whoever bought something, you rock!

Posted: 9/19/04 at 4:57pm

lol! Chinkie, I got there this morning and met NativeNewYorker, Undiscovered, TGTIF, Millie42 and Chrysanthemum - all of whom I'd known before or had seen photos of. We never actually found the rest of the people, since we didn't quite know who we were looking for! Throughout the day I also met up with Britt0913, nystateomind04, bdwaygirl, Broadwaygirl4life and SammyGal, though. It was a LOT of fun. We saw Rob and Craig, but by the time we finally decided to go say hello, we couldn't find them!

Edit: Cara, you know I love you! I was posting about people that I knew only from the board, silly.

ahhh We never found you! There were five of us at breakfast and we figured you all had left by then.

I dunno if anyone saw me, but I was the one walking around in a puffy North Face jacket, and i was carrying a blue and pink bag. We came EARLY and left early though, so. :P

I wonder when Broadway.com is going to post the pictures? If they post the pictures---apparently they no longer cover closing/opening nights of shows--which really really makes me

btw, i dropped about $150 in 15 minutes....lol :)

I was just shocked about how much certain things were.... like the OBC Wicked poster (with four signatures) = $100. Come one, sell it for a bit less and lots more would have bought it! (they had hundreds of this poster).

I also saw Stephanie running around with Lucy T Slut having pictures taken for $40. I overheard her complaining to someone that hardly anyone wants a picture. Don't get me wrong it's all for a good cause but just charge a bit less but I think in the end you'll make more money. I would have jumped to have my picture taken with one of them for $10-20 (cheapskate) but $40 is a bit much.
