Oldest Broadway Item you have.

Posted: 3/28/08 at 1:37pmProbably a package of those cards with the playbill covers and credits that they sold. I think they are for the 1978 season. Do they still sell those? They are a bit smaller than playing cards and came in a plastic bag.

Gwen Verdon's 1956 Tony Award for DAMN YANKEES that her daughter Nicole (Fosse) gave me as a gift several years ago after her mother's death.

Somewhere around here I have a program for "A Trip To Chinatown". I used to have "The Black Crook" but I sold it. The oldest souvenir I have is probably "Showboat" (original cast) or "The Three Musketeers" with Denis King.
I WISH I had THIS program, of which there are only one or two copies in existence.

But I do have THIS, which is both the opening night of "Funny Face" with Fred and Adele Astaire AND the grand opening of the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon).

This was fold in every single copy of the original "Showboat" program from the New York and London runs in the 20s.

For me I would have to say it is the corpse of Helen Hayes. Got a great deal at a local flea market.

Well... I have two...
1) Is the OBC signed program from Jesus Christ Superstar.
2) Micky Rooney's signature (as the wizard) on sheet music from 1938 for Over the Rainbow.
