The signing was after closing was posted, AFAIK.

I saw some lying on the tables in the orchestra during one of the instagram stories last week, and they were the newer version of the poster without Josh and Denee on them.

I would *love* to have one of those but can't make to the flea market. I will pay anyone who could pick one up for me.

Same here. I wish they had been selling them at the theater this weekend! I would have totally bought one. But I flew to NYC just for the show, and won't be able to come back for the flea market.

One of the more interesting things I saw last year was that Jennifer Laura Thompson has created Dear Evan Hansen themed jewelry.

 

FYI, in case anyone is interested, her jewelry is regularly sold at the merchandise booths in the theater (assuming they are not sold out).

 

Shows usually do not sell current merchandise at the flea market, as they would have to purchase it in advance from the merch company. In this case, JLT may create some jewelry specifically to donate to the flea market, but since it would be essentially competing with their own merchandise company, I'm guessing what's available at the flea market will be different than what she makes for the theater to sell, either an exclusive design or an up charge for a photo with her, something like that. I could be wrong, but that is my guess.

 

Each of the merch companies has a table at the flea market, so if you're looking for official merchandise, especially current merchandise, that would be your best bet.

For those wondering, The Great Comet will have a booth at the flea market. I heard about it while stagedooring on the last day from a woman who worked on the show

This'll be my first time at the flea market, does anyone know what things/prices to expect? How crowded is it right when it opens? I know you can find props and posters etc.

If anybody can't make it this year to the flea market and would like a specific item don't hesitate to private message me as I will be spending a few hours there this year. Let me know specifics and price range .

Hope to see dear Evan Hansen with Ben in the show.

I realize that's getting more and more difficult as time goes on...

There will be boxes full of playbills, many posters, clothing, merchandise (including things like opening night gifts that weren't publicly sold), books (including scripts and materials sent to Tony voters), and a lot of other things. There will also be a whole lot of random stuff that has nothing at all to do with Broadway or the theater. 

Prices are all over the map. You can get things for less than a dollar and things for hundreds of dollars (like large props or signed merchandise). Prices can vary quite a bit throughout the day, as many tables will want to get rid of all of their things by the end of the flea market. For example, I wanted a copy of the off-Broadway Fun Home poster from the Public last year, but at the beginning of the day they'd only sell it with a copy of their Hamilton poster for $50. By 4 pm, I was able to buy the poster for one dollar.

It will be very, very crowded at the start of the flea market, but much easier to navigate as the afternoon goes on.

I'll be at the flea market as well. I could try and get things for people, but I live in Canada so the things would be sent from there.
