Do you keep your Playbills? — Page 4

Lizzie...Broadway series ones, and some touring. The venue I never has the actors come out to sign...the only actor that ever came out to sign anything was James Barbour, in Camelot.
Go figure, uh?

No. Actually it is a very elegant venue, no weirdos within premises.
The actors have protected parking (high fenced area and gated) and it is located in the back of the theater. Once the show is over, they just exit through the back, and, of course, no patrons (or I should say, those with no "connections") can go there...

Oh, that's FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for posting about it!

I keep and cherish all of mine. I hate when people leave them on the floor at the theatre or throw them in the garbage.

Yes! I could never bear to part with them! Some are signed, some not, and I keep them all in a binder that I got from Playbill.com made especially to hold them.

Yes, I too keep my Playbills. I have box of them.

Yes, I keep mine on a bookshelf. I must have 40 or so. The very first Bway show I ever saw was My One and Only wednesday of Thanksgiving week, 1983. Original Cast. (I was 13.) We also saw Cats with Betty Buckley and the original Cast. Nine with Sergio Franchi and Brighton Beach Memoirs with Fisher Stephens and Elizabeth Franz who won a tony a few years ago for Death of a salesman. I still have those Playbills. As I recall the Marriott Marquis was being built and you had to go through all the construction to get to the 46th Street Theater to see Nine. And I remember Twiggy and Tommy Tune doing that amazing barefoot tap dance in a trauff of water. And who could forget Anita Morris doing A Call From the Vatican!? As a friend of mine said, "Once you saw Anita Morris perform that number, you had been HAD by Anita Morris, if you get what I mean!"

I live in a fairly small apartment, so sadly moving and space issues forced me to abandon saving every playbill. But I do save every ticket and have a big bulletin board for them. However, once I hit the local theater scene in Boston, I ran out of room. I need to buy another bulletin board, but until I do, the tickets are all stored in a envelope.

I also have a friend who buys a magnet from each show he sees to put on his fridge. He is running out of space, but it is quite the conversation starter when you walk into his kitchen :).
