Easter Bonnet Collection Period#25

New shows in previews NEVER sell. Dependant on opening date, many won't bother this season at all.

I'm sure it has something to do with their already long workdays with rehearsal. No need to add to that.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

@atuomala - yes hoodies are still available at the regular merch booth for $60. I guess I should finally get one esp if they're sold out online!

I was at Honeymoon in Vegas on Saturday the 14th, matinee. They had signed posters for $75 and Playbills for $25. I bought the next to last poster and they ran out of Playbills.

"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage."

Last weekend, at Les Miz, the conductor signed the baton used during the performance and it was available for $250. They also had "Team Javert" and Team" Valjean" buttons for $5. I got both.

When I was at Chicago, there were no speeches and no collections.

Phantom had their usual speech done by the Phantom and posters, pins, CDs, etc for sale.

When I was sitting at a stoplight in Times Square last week I saw someone cross the street with a cast signed poster from It's Only a Play. So I think yes they are participating.

I like a good rhyme more than a good time

Kara Lindsay hinted on her Twitter account that Wicked is participating now , but I don't think they're selling anything.

I went to Matilda and Book of Mormon last week and they were both participating. Can't remember anything about prices etc but I think at least both offered signed posters.

Can anyone who's been over to The Audience lately confirm whether or not they are participating at this point?

There's a video on YouTube of the Fish in the Dark curtain call that was just posted a few days ago and it doesn't appear that they do collections.

IF/THEN didn't collect last Sunday. I'm curious if 20th Century has signed posters and for how much?

[atuomala]

Posted: 3/22/15 at 3:46am

Traditionally, signed posters are $100 and signed playbills are $40 when Roundabout does collections. I don't think If/Then would participate when they're closing very soon.

I believe the collection period ends on April 21st. That's when they will hold the Easter Bonnet Competition at the Minskoff. I've got tickets to the first day, is anyone else going?
