Does anyone know if Hamilton is still selling windowcards?

If they run out of window cards, they will have a list where you can put your name and address and you can buy the window card there and they will send it to you when they have more. At least that's what they did at the Saturday matinee.

Thank you! $250?

Hedwig now has signed (JCM/Lena Hall) foil windowcards on EBay (BCEFA is the seller) for $100. Kinda cool they acknowledge they're doing this because they don't collect after every show. I hope they sell tons and may inspire other companies to do the same...

"Due to their demanding performance schedule, the company of Hedwig is not able to sell items for BC/EFA after every show, so they have generously provided theses posters in order to reach any audience members who were unable to purchase after a show & for those fans not able to be in New York City during this special time of fundraising."

I wish all shows reached out to BCEFA themselves and donated items for the designated collection period to have them put online. I noticed that BCEFA has been posting a lot of things on eBay lately that just aren't getting sold. They'd probably do better if they posted items that were more relevant. It would certainly save time for someone like me. For the shows that I'm unable to see at this time, I've been making my rounds to all the theaters after performances to see what's available.

Oh that's cool. I went this past Saturday night to HEDWIG and was confused that they didn't collect.

Re: Hamilton Poster… yeah, it's $250 plus I think $10 for shipping. However, I heard the cast were signing a bunch between the two Saturday shows to have some for the evening, so I don't know if they'll run out again soon.

Are there still posters available at The Audience for $250?

can I get a check on the Hamilton window cards, can you still signup and have it shipped to you?

Bump....anything new?  Anything at 20th Century?  Does The Audience have any playbills?

The Audience only has posters available for $250.

On the 20th started collecting donations but no special items yet.

Maybe because Gallagher's been in and out, they haven't had time to schedule a signing party.

 Does Gallagher really still have a spotty attendance record?

I was told that he is taking one performance off a week for vocal rest.

Are The Heidi Chronicles selling anything yet? Because I just received a cast-signed playbill from them without a donation request.

Friend of mine was at Heidi Chronicles tonight (Sat), I asked him to check in with any news.  Cast signed posters for $100 were the only thing offered...

I am so glad they are selling the Hedwig Windowcards. I emailed them asking them to sell me one and they said they'd be putting them online for sale. Otherwise, they do it after the collection period when the posters are rare and you have to bid on them. I can't afford to do that but I can afford to buy one outright. They should do this for the main items (posters and Playbills) from all the shows.

I agree. Maybe next collection period Broadway Cares will ask other shows to allow them to sell online. I only bought a Hedwig playbill after a show but I started to feel sentimental after Lena's final performance last night so when I got home I bought one of the signed window cards, too.

Actually, maybe it's not such a good idea—for my bank account lol. What I can't get during this collection period I usually find available at the Flea Market in September.

Just got a Hamilton poster $250 and Playbill $60 after the Sunday matinee. They are limiting 1 poster purchase per person. One guy wanted to buy 4 of them but the BC/EFA rep said they wanted to prevent reselling on eBay- since it would compete with their own auctions. 

Somehow they are keeping tabs on people's names because she mentioned to the same guy that he had previously bought one (but he claimed his brother bought it). He ended up getting one anyway.

Are they limiting purchases of playbills? I just visited eBay and already there are a couple signed playbills listed there.

 Sorry, I don't know if there's a limit on playbills since the guy was only interested in the posters; I was trying to beat the crowd and didn't think to ask. 

The poster is slightly thinner than a standard broadway windowcard - discovered a small bent corner after the train ride home :/

I'm glad I went down to the Public and got my Hamilton stuff in person. This is getting crazy!

When I went, I got there before the show ended. I was prepared to wait until the show let out, but someone I know someone involved in the show had me come back (behind the black curtain leading to the theater) and I purchased one before the show even let out. Glad I did so, because I inspected my poster (as I always do!) and noticed the top left corner had been so bent it was nearly coming off. I exchanged for a different one that is in much better condition. I've come to always check my merch before I leave a show so I can exchange if anything is wrong and definitely/especially suggest it for BC/EFA merch. If you're able to politely ask to swap something that is smudged, bent, or torn, do it!

I also do an inspection prior to leaving but the I think the bent corner happened because of my commute home 

I agree that if politely asked, the BC/EFA reps are usually very cool in letting you sort thru the merchandise to your liking.

I wish you two were around to tell me this last week when I bought a cast-signed poster from The Audience. The silver marker that Helen Mirren used to sign it appears as though it was nearly out of ink. If I had thought about it, I would have asked to see if there was a poster that had a better quality signature.

Broadway Cares just added cast-signed Hedwig playbills to their eBay store, as well as another cast-signed Hamilton poster.
