All of my Carrie the musical stuff... the videos, cds,and of course the souvineir program!!!

Hmmm... I have two theatre-related items that I'm especially fond of, but neither are strictly Broadway. I got my programme for the West End production of 'Wicked' signed by Idina Menzel, Adam Garcia, Helen Dallimore, Katie Rowley Jones, James Gillan, and Martin Ball, so that's pretty awesome. Especially when I consider its resale value on eBay (which I'd never do, but I like to consider it).

But somewhat pipping it to the post of most favoured item is my vocal selections of 'The Last Five Years', which I got signed by Jason Robert Brown when I cornered him after a talkback session last September. It's better because I love 'The Last Five Years' more than 'Wicked', and he wrote "to Jan, all the best" in it, which packs a greater emotional punch than just a signature on its own. For twenty seconds, my favourite living composer of musical theatre knew my name. :3

Broadway-specific, I do have an 'Aida' Playbill signed by Adam Pascal and Mickey Dolenz, from my very first trip to New York and my very first experience of stage-dooring. That's quite nice too. :3

The only broadway item I have of importance is my Aida CD booklet signed by Adam. Of course he only signed it a few months ago, but it's still a signed Aida Cd booklet so that's all that matters.

Mine would probably have to be my Gary Beach (<3) signed headshot & Playbill I got back from him after I finally decided to write him.
I finally got frames for them today so they're not living in a manilla envelope anymore.
=).

I have a marquee poster from the musical MAME signed by Bea Arthur in my Dining room.

---

My Manhattan subway map and the print-out of "On The Boards" from TalkinBroadway.com, which were my two Bibles while strolling Midtown all summer.

One of the things from my collection that I value most is my original CHORUS LINE program (which is really just long pieces of paper staped together) from The Public Theater with a survey about the show in the back from Joe Papp.

My Sweeney Playbill signed by the entire revival cast and my note from Alex Gemignani thanking me for the collage I made for the cast.

Hm, maybe this post wasn't such a good idea,
I'm getting more jealous than I expected...

=)!

I have a ton of pictures from the photo booth at the Broadway Cares Flea Market, including one with John Ritter when he was doing The Dinner Party. That one has a lot of meaning to me now.
