On The View, Rosie Perez just said that she and Rita Wilson have alternated giving the BC/EFA collection speech, so Fish in the Dark is collecting! She made no mention of it they're offering signed merchandise, etc. of course, but if anyone goes, please let us know if they're offering signed window cards. I'd definitely pay top dollar for that!

I was at the heidi chronicles yesterday and they didn't collect. no speech, no buckets..nothing. surprising being that i think elisabeth moss has a decent fan base from her role on mad men.

New Addition to the Limited Edition Prints. Tracie Bennett? signed prints as Judy Garland from End of the Rainbow Broadway?. Proceeds support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS?. Very Limited amount, only 50 copies.
There are many other shows available online. Some shows are selling during the collection period but this is the only place to buy them online.

I'm not sure what powers that be decide whether or not a show will participate. I find that there's more participation during the winter collections than the spring collections, which may be because we are fast approaching Tony season so that's everyone's priority above raising money for BC/EFA.

Finding Neverland nor It should have been You did anything..not even the bucket.

I haven't been to Kinky Boots for a bit but being they win most of these things, I would be shocked if they didn't do it.

And yes...Matilda tries to auction off a kid at each show..LOL

When does the collection period end? I hate to be a grouch but I can't afford to donate all the money to go backstage and take pictures with Larry David (yes, he is now doing them also). I would like to take a picture with him at the stage door which I know he was doing, and I don't know if he will if people are paying to for charity. I'm only a teenager and I put whatever I could in the buckets at the end of the show, so please don't consider me to be selfish. I'm only asking when the period ends because I might be going on Wednesday depending on if they release tickets. Thanks for the response!

Anything RE: THE AUDIENCE?

Someone took a picture of the curtain call at The Audience and it appears that actor Dylan Baker is delivering the BCEFA curtain speech, but I'm waiting for clarification.

I noticed a woman leave The Audience tonight with a cast-signed poster so I presume that they are participating and are selling posters and playbills.

Scratch that, only signed posters are available for The Audience and they're asking $250.

Also, does Cabaret still have autographed playbills available?

I believe so, but it wouldn't surprise me if they've already run out.

I saw Hamilton on 3/17 (apparently before they started selling/auctioning). Perhaps lucky for me because, although I don't have that kind of money, I don't know how I could have resisted bidding on the auction of a personal voicemail from Lin

Updated: Hedwig doesn't collect on two show days (Friday and Saturdays). Also, the drum sticks are not available and the Tits of Clay tees are $30 (shirts also sold under seller bc/efa on ebay).

Hamilton playbills were $60

What has It's Only A Play been auctioning off after the show? I heard that Nathan Lane was in the audience last week and bid on something?

Mamma Mia has Sydni Beaudoin doing her rap-speech again. Really fun way to get the crowd motivated to donate. They were selling signed posters, aprons and signed prints of judy mclane. noticed allison ewing [tanya] and mary callanan [rosie] taking donations with the red buckets and posing for photos in costume if a donation was given.

I was at Matilda this past week Matilda was selling:

Bumper Stickers - $3
Pencils - $10
Signed Playbills - $40
Singed Windowcards- $100

I splurged and bought a playbill because I didn't have the time to wait at the stage door.
