Yes. It's still creepy.
Now if it were for Gavin Creel's dance belt then it would be different.

Don't get me wrong, I'm obviously happy they raised so much money. I'd just love to meet whoever bought them and ask them what the hell they plan on doing with two $5,000 undershirts.

Also, it seems that they will no longer be signing autographs after the show at the stagedoor during the duration of the fundraising ( they are auctioning signed playbills, too...plus the photo sessions take a good half-hour or so).
Hugh does the emceeing duties - hey, you have an Oscars host taking care of the auction there

I know we all know that.
My hat is off to these two straight (ahem) men taking the time to help BCEFA.
I predict they will break any collection records so far.
I heard Patti was there with a camera.

For the autographed Playbills and posters, are they signing them for you right there, or are you buying pre-signed Playbills/posters?

Any news on how they have dealt with the demand from people who have already seen or will not be able to see the show?

That's not true. If someone wanted to buy an autographed Playbill or poster, all they have to do is go to the theatre when the show lets out, walk inside, and buy one. The volunteers in the lobby sell the Playbills as well so you could just buy one from them. In fact just today we had a gentleman come by as the show was ending and ask if he could come inside to buy the merchandise and he was allowed to do so. It's no different than most other shows that sell signed posters. Sometimes the posters will be sold in the lobby (JERSEY BOYS, MAMMA MIA, MARY POPPINS) but usually they're at the bar inside the theatre (PHANTOM, WICKED, THE LION KING, St James Theatre, Golden Theatre, Hirschfeld Theatre, Palace Theatre.)
And today Hugh Jackman said that they while would still come out to say hi to the people waiting at the stage door, they will not be signing anything or taking photos while the collections are going on. Which is only fair, as people are paying $2000 for a photo, and it also increases the demand which will end up bringing in more money for charity.

It's good that the auctioned items can be bought regardless of whether one is part of the day's audience or not.
