I just called and the sitch is to get your cd signed you must have a wrist band which are first come first serve. And once you have the wrist band you do not, repeat DO NOT have to stay in line, you can leave and come back! Which is awesome because I really thought I was going to be sitting on the floor all day. huzzah!!

I might be in big trouble... I'll get there as early as possible and if I do get lucky enough to get a wrist band, I guess I'll kill time in the area; any suggestions on how?

I'd love to talk to people online and meet members of Broadway World if anyone will be there, but I'm wondering if people will be in line when I plan on getting there at around 1:00.

This sounds like the same situation when I got my "Anything Goes" cd signed. I went to B&N and bought the cd. They gave me a wristband with purchase. The lady at the counter said I didn't have to wait in line, but I went downstairs and waited in line anyway. I'm glad I did get in line early. I was able to get a great seat right in front. Even if the staff says that you don't have to wait, stand in line anyway. You can either pick a book off the shelf or talk to people. I just read. The time went by fast for me.
The site says there is a limit of two signed CDs per customer.

I WILL NOT be going to this signing.

I just called with a few questions, and the man I spoke to said you can have TWO CDs! So there's a discrepancy amongst the staff I guess...

I would just print this out:

and buy two cds if they say any differently show them your print out and say you want to have two cds signed. At the "Anything Goes" signing it was suppose to be cds only but people had playbills and the cast signed them with no issues.

I am 100% serious when I say it is also my Birthday on the 2nd of December. It would be a great present :p. A present that I will be paying very generously for too!!

Is anybody here? I'm on line :)

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 12/1/11 at 1:42pm

I'm in line too and they announced that Sondheim will not be here to sign. Kind of disappointed but will still be good to get the cast.

Did you get a priority wrist band? I didn't so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 12/1/11 at 2:03pm

I did get a priority wristband. Good luck

Posted: 12/1/11 at 2:43pm

Wow, I'm glad that I didn't go.

[ljay889]

Posted: 12/1/11 at 3:44pm

According to twitter, Sondheim is there.

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 12/1/11 at 5:15pm

Ljay- yes! Sondheim did end up being there and he signed, so I don't know why the B&N staff had the scare in the morning that he wouldn't be signing.

It was actually really fun and the booklets look amazing with all the signatures. It was handled just like the Night Music signing last year.

It was a wonderful event! 22 cast members were there, so many more than I anticipated, and they were all very happy to be there and signing and very gracious. The table started with Young Buddy / Young Sally and ended with Bernadette and Sondheim.
