I was amazed at how much merchandise there is for this show! I guess they are really counting on the Beale cult following to pay off. The throw/blanket of the Broadway logo was too much to resist - it is so beautiful, I didn't think twice about buying it.

Do they have a program yet?

And, out of curiosity, do they sell the stuffed cats as well. I love them (and it will be really hard NOT to buy one. )

I didn't see a program or the cat, but the cat is available online - the throw isn't.

What about magnets - the sign of a quality show?

I am not a shill for the show, but you guys should check out the online store. I think everything but the throw is there. I am thinking about buying the button set with the show's sayings.

I want that throw so badly! They said it should be going on the website soon, but that was March 6th and I'm still waiting. Haha, anyone want to pick one up for me?

If I don't get one of those cats and a set of those pins for my birthday, I'm going to have a fit!

They're adorable!

I know! And since I am a cat lover, it makes them so much more enticing.


Now if I can convince my father to let me use his credit card to buy a stuffed cat online...

On those pins, I understand most of the sayings, but what does "Not today Geraldine" mean?

Little Edie says it to Big Edie in Act 2 - I assume it is a reference to Flip Wilson who had a popular tv show during that time period, but I may be wrong

Wow! I had no idea about a good majority of this merchandise! I would love the blanket (but I don't see it on the website). Glad I'm seeing this on Saturday so I can purchase some stuff (specifically the bag and blanket)!

I have one of the cats sitting on my theatre bookcase right next to my Sweeney Todd stuff... something wrong about that...

I also have the "Daddy's Girl" tank tops.

But the throw is really pretty.

FYI: the cats are most definitely available at the theatre. As are mugs, tea sets, etc.

I have bought a t-shirt (American Apparel, black, with the logo), 2 pins (It's a goddamn beautiful day- shut up, two peas in a pod), and both cast recordings. I still want the long sleeved t-shirt and most definitely a program. And a mug. Heck, I want it all.
