Hey everyone,
As a collector of souvenir programs, I frequently find I go to shows that do not have them out yet. Recent examples of this would be Sweeney Todd and Chita:The Dancers Life.
Aside from the official show sites (both above mentioned shows do not even have merchandise on their sites btw), does anybody know where I could find out if certain programs are available?
I have tried TheBroadwayCollection, which does not offer either of these shows, and BroadwayNewYork, which has none either.
Any suggestions would be great,
Thanks,
RYAN

I think Sweeney will have a souvenir program soon. Chita won't. Spelling bee just started selling souvenir programs. I get mine at www.broadwayauction.com
This websit has tons of souvenir programs and window cards. A really great selection they have new and old shows. I found it by accident trying to find a particular window card that I had trouble finding.

"If they don't have, they don't make."
That's not true. Often shows take a long time to put them out. Some shows are quicker than others, but just because a show doesn't have one doesn't mean it won't ever produce them.

Posted: 2/15/06 at 5:43pmYeah, that isn't true at all. I saw Sweet Charity for the first time in August and when I asked to purchase a souvenir program, the seller said that it was "being approved" and hadn't been printed yet. Charity opened in three months earlier, so it just takes some time, I suppose.

Posted: 2/15/06 at 9:36pmYes, usually if the show is not considered a sell out hit (Spamalot, Wicked) then the souvenir program is not made right away. Something sucessful like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or The Light in the Piazza took a good 6-7 months to make a progam.
