A stack of souvenir programs and a lot of framed showcards, my favourite being a "dummy" run of the the 1970 Broadway revival of NO, NO, NANETTE. Only 20 were made prior to the show going out of town. By the time the show came back there was a change in producers, two cast members had gone and the colouring of all the art work was a much deeper shade.

Programs:
Little Women Hairspray Wicked Legally Blonde (signed by Orfeh) Phantom
Playbills:
Two from Legally Blonde One from Mary Poppins One from Wicked Four from Hairspray, all signed I have a bunch from Little Women. I'm too lazy to go looking for them and count, but I probably have about six, and one is signed. I have that handbill they give out when you go to Broadway in Bryant Park, and it's signed by Alexandra Socha, Gallagher, Remy Zaken, Skylar Astin, and Gerard Canonico. It's laminated and on my wall and nobody better ever try to touch it.
Cast recordings:
Little Women Hairspray Wicked Mary Poppins Legally Blonde I don't exactly have the Spring Awakening CD, but all the songs are on my iPod
And there's a whole lot more, signed and unsigned, but I don't feel like listing all that.
I have a never ending collection of Original Broadway Cast CD albums, which I keep adding to, especially covering the Golden Age. But the Broadway Merchandise that I am most proud of is my framed numbered engraving(67/100) of the Hirschfeld drawing of Ethel Merman, Jack Klugman, Sandra Church and the three Strippers from GYPSY signed by the artist. The drawing would have appeared in the NY Times on the Sunday before the opening. It is quite valuable since it is a limited edition and Hirschfeld is no longer living.
Incidentally, there are a number of framed Hirschfeld drawings of shows that played the Martin Beck(now the Al Hirschfeld) on the balcony level of that theatre.
I'll make mine simple. I always get a show T-Shirt, Window card, and a Souvenir Program.
I have all these for:
The Wedding Singer (Cast signed stuff) SPAMalot (Cast signed stuff) Hairspray (Cast signed stuff) Disney's Beauty and the Beast (Cast signed stuff) Spring Awakening (Cast signed stuff) Wicked (Cast signed stuff) Legally Blonde the Musical (Cast signed stuff) Phantom of the Opera (Cast signed stuff) Rent Little Shop of Horrors Sweet Charity Riverdance ... I think that is it.
Broadway Shows I've Seen: Hairspray, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors (2003), The Wedding Singer, Spamalot, Riverdance, Rent, Beauty and the Beast, Spring Awakening, Wicked, Legally Blonde, Phantom of the Opera, Sweet Charity (revival), Drowsy Chaperone, The Lion King, Dreamgirls(2010 Tour).

LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!
I collect magnets, my fridge is covered with them, and about half are from Broadway shows.
I'm also a big Millie fan, so I have just about everything from that show I could get my hands on including a signed poster and program, mousepad, and all the usual stuff.
