Looking to buy/trade playbills

Posted: 7/30/06 at 4:12pm

If you're like me.. when you leave the theatre you grab as many extra playbills as possible. So I'm hoping some of you have a few extras lying around. I have quite a few to trade, and I also have lots and lots of advertising flyers from all the shows currently out. I'd also be willing to buy, for a reasonable price. Please let me know!

These are the shows i'm looking for!

Altarboyz
Avenue Q *preferably OBC*
The Great American Trailer Park Musical
Color Purple
Lestat
Tarzan
Light in the Piazza*Preferably OBC and in Color*
Sweeney Todd(COLORED ONE!!)
Spamalot *OBC*
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee*Preferably OBC*
Brooklyn in Color
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels *OBC COLOR*
Beauty and the Beast*Preferably OBC*

Haha, millie, I'm reading your post thinking, "Um... all Playbills are in color." Then I saw my DRS Playbill on my shelf. And I realized the stupidity of what I was saying.

Off-topic: Playbill, or playbill? I've always capitalized -- it feels right that way.

I *believe* I have 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with everyone except the original vice principal. I will have to look and see if I still have it, but I should.

What do you guys think is a reasonable price? I never know how much to ask. A few people have told me a dollar.. and others are asking up to 5. I was thinking 2 dollars each for common ones and more if its autographed etc.. I mean I just bought a bunch for a quarter on ebay this morning!

Playbills arent that much to ship. I payed a little less than two dollars yesterday to send out two playbills with two pieces of cardboard on each side inside the packaging.

Are there people who saw the rent OBC still alive?

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

I understand if you've only got 1 or 2...or even 3.

I was just asking for those who have a lot of them

For those of you asking what I have to trade..

I don't have that many duplicates left to trade..

except Sweeney Todd black and white, DRS(pryce,butz,arnez,scott) DRS (Pryce,Butz,Gleason,York)Chicago(have to check on cast) and Drowsy

But I have loads and loads of those flier things if you collect those. I have all the recent shows.

onlyone - when the producers decide that running the show as long as possible is more important than putting playbills in color.

If anyone has The Color Purple in color and would want to trade it for I any other recent musical. I have everything from the past year, but some I only have one signed and wouldn't be willing to trade. But If you have it and would be willing to meet me in times square some day to trade for something else. PM me.
ADD: The only things I have a copy of are The Light in the Piazza, Spelling Bee, and Spamalot. The three of them are original casts. OR a fully signed Dracula playbill, if anyone wants the disaster that once was.
