At first previews on 3/16 and 3/17, they did not have posters or bookmarks. Most of the London merchandise available at www.cursedchildstore.com is basically the same for the New York production. There are a few newly-designed house shirts and the back of the black and gold show shirt says "Lyric Theatre, New York" on the bottom near the seams. Please note that based on the events at the end of Part 1, new sets of merchandise will be available at the store/stands when house opens for Part 2.
The Cursed Child Store (facing 42nd street) is open during the day, however I am not sure of their specific hours. Patrons and anyone off the street can enter and buy things at the store during their business hours BEFORE the show.
There is a special Broadway Previews Edition of the souvenir program book that features photos from the original West End company, as well as interviews and sections about the renovations at the Lyric Theatre. After the show opens and new production photos are taken, then there will be a new edition of the book available.
A majority of the cast came out after Part 2. Security and theatre staff originally told patrons that cast members do not sign after Part 1 unless it is on a single-show day. If its a two-show day, the will not come out after Part 1, just after Part 2. A majority, if not all, of the cast stage-doored, including the children in the cast. The experience is pleasant so long as fans do not cause a riot, however it will definitely be packed and at least 3-5 people deep. If you are at the front of the barriers, please be wary of people behind you trying to shove Playbills or copies of the script over or near your head.
