Made me happy! :)

A High Fidelity button, playbills from the original productions of Bells Are Ringing and She Loves Me, some Bat Boy coasters.
I was wearing my Glory Days t-shirt, and had about 20 people stop me and ask where I'd gotten it. At the theater the second time I saw it, sorry loves. I'm still dying for the "Are You Ready to Make History?" shirt, but I assume they burnt them all.

Wow. I always thought the Flea Market was expensive!

Posted: 9/21/08 at 5:13pm
The auction IS expensive ~ or rather the auctions are since there's the main silent auction, the big finale grand auction, and lots of tables that have their own silent auctions. Overall, the stuff at the tables isn't that bad. It really depends on what it is.

- ROCK N' ROLL t-shirt for $10
- Disney's ON THE RECORD mug for $1 (plus a free BEAUTY AND THE BEAST poster)
- Playbill yearbook along with tote bag ($20)
This year really didn't do it for me. There seemed to be just too many Playbills and random t-shirts than actual good merchandise, and all the other stuff was too expensive. I was looking hard for any CURTAINS or ALL SHOOK UP (that wasn't just playbills) stuff, and was sad I didn't find any.

You missed the Julie Reiber-signed ALL SHOOK UP script/score/Playbill at the WICKED table. She must have been cleaning out her bookshelves.

- Pirate Queen grab bag with t-shirt, poster, etc ($20)
- Spelling Bee t-shirt and beanie ($15)
- Seth's chatterbox videos x2
- Actor's Fund posters of Funny Girl, Chess, and Hair
- A Chorus Line head band ($1)
- [tos] red velvet cake ($1)
- [tos] opening night caricature ($30)
I felt like it was less crowded than last year especially the autograph lines (which I did not participate in). I was also looking for a Drowsy Chaperone martini glass like the one I bought last year (but broke
), but no luck.

This year was my first time, and it was a whole lot of fun.
I bought:
-Spelling Bee Cast Recording, Souvenir Program, and Poster ($5)
-GYPSY Let Me Entertain You Score W/ Patti's Eyeliner Marks ($2)
-Wedding Singer Cast Recording ($5)
-Into The Woods Playbill w/ Chip Zien ($1)
-[tos] Rice Cripsy Treat
All in all, I would've liked to see more [tos] merchandise. I would have bought more, had they had more than just a few little things. Still, very fun.

Karen Mason sold me a fully signed Sunset Boulevard windowcard, and my 14 year old inner fangirl quietly freaked out and handed over the money.
Got a Standing Ovations dvd, a Secret Garden souvenier program (I was looking for the windowcard and have been for a few years but this was almost as good) and resisted buying random playbills for the most part...
Oh and I bought one of those Gypsy marked sheet music things - it looks amazing and will look great framed I think.

Now what would you say if today I started over?
Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover
And I'll pretend like everything is already alright
And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

Yankeefan007, a friend of mine who was also in ALL SHOOK UP told me she was selling it, but I couldn't find it!
I just wish they'd had more mugs, bags - things you can use. I don't really wear show shirts (except to bed), and I don't collect Playbills.

I bought a letter from Spring Awakening that the cast signed =], a Tarzan shirt because it was cheap and I always liked the colors they used in the posters. I probably sleep in it.
And my dad, who was with me found an orginal Equss playbill that he had been looking for since we got there.
I also bought brownies from [tos] .I wish [tos] had more stuff, but i was tempted to buy a Spelling Bee playbill Barrett Foa signed when he got there.
It was funny though when tos started having people bid for their stuff. Like the shirt Hunter wore off Bway

I only got a couple things:
2 playbills (Angels in America and Falsettos)
Autographed pic of Lin-Manuel for my little sister
Signed Intership list from Legally Blonde (Don't really care for the show, but the law student in me thought it was cool)
