Pianoman,

I bought my poster during the March 17-18 weekend and I had missing autographs from Alex, Jenny, and Lea.

Did you see anyone left out on the poster? I am thinking about buying another poster tomorrow. Where on the poster is Lea's autograph? Upper left, upper right, etc?

There was a previous thread on the signed Les Miz poster. I have read that Jenny doesnt sign anything. Where on the poster is Jenny's signature?

Lea is on the upper left hand corner of the poster. Large and very visible. I will check again for Jenny's - perhaps I was mistaken. It was a frantic day trying to get everything in one day!

Pianoman,

Did you check if the Les Miz poster has Jenny Galloway's autograph?

Also, where is Alexander Gemignani's signature on the poster?

No, I am currently away from home working on a film, but will when I get home. Alex G is on the right side about 1/2 way down.

Anyone know if Grey Gardens, Curtains and Jersey Boys are selling signed window cards?

Saw Grey Gardens last night and they are not doing anything - no announcement, nothing for sale, no collection. I think that is terrible.

I was able to buy an A Chorus Line signed poster from the Stage manager at the stage door - they aren't even for sale yet in the theatre after the show! $75 which I thought was alot for a practically no-name show, but it goes to a good cause.

Hi all, I've been taking notes on what's forsale at all of the shows I attend. Posters that I've noted are the 14"x22" ones.

Wicked (as of 3/30)- Cast Signed Posters $75, Individual Signed Photos of Elphaba, Glinda, Professor $25 each, Wicked aprons $15 each (I believe), Buttons $5

Jersey Boys (as of 3/2- Cast Signed Posters $100, can't remember what else.

Drowsy Chaperone (as of 3/2- Cast Signed Posters $60, can't remember what else.

I *believe* Wicked and Jersey Boys had signed playbills in the $25 range.

I'll be seeing Hairspray and Spring Awakening today and will post any updates.

I was at JB last night and they said they haven't been doing posters! I want one!

Spring Awakening (3/31)- Cast Signed Poster for $60

And in response to Jersey Boys posters not being available, that's a bummer! I know that they sell them only after the shows and they charge $100.... hopefully they didn't sell out on Wednesday when I was there! I ran to the bar to get one, and was third in line, and a huge line formed after me. I looked on Ebay and there were a few there that looked like they probably came from the BCEFA signing... the ones on currently dont look like they are though.

baddadnpa - you do realize it's not mandatory to collect, right? It's hardly "terrible" for them not to do so at Grey Gardens - it's not like they're getting an audience majority who'd want to buy a signed poster.

After the emotional roller coaster of that show, I'm sure the last thing someone like Ebersole or Wilson would want to do is announce stuff for sale or pose for photos in costume.

That said, Ms. Ebersole does plenty for BCEFA, do not worry.

On the night I saw it (Friday, March 23), "Company" was offering Polaroids with Raul for $20...he even gives out pre-signed little paper frames with them. You know I took advantage of that opportunity. Posters and whatever those crystal things are were offered as well.

Saw "Spring" the night before and all they were offering then were the donation buckets.

Just to let you know, I was selling at Jersey Boys tonight and they did have the cast signed posters. $100 each. We sold a bunch of them too.

The box office gentlemen keeps telling me they aren't selling them - he even went into the back of the house to check and I was told no.

I would drive back into the city this week and wait until the end of the show if I thought they would be sold at an evening performance.

Company still selling?

Going this Friday....

They should be, since the entire thing goes through the Easter Bonnet competition. They're also auctioning Raúl's kazoo at some performances.

Great!

Thanks!

I saw Company on Saturday and they were selling the posters, playbills, and the signed cube things. They also auctioned off Raul's kazoo for $200, but I don't know if that is a regular thing. Raul also mentioned that he would take pics/sign autographs after the show for BCEFA.

Curtains is "selling" Playbills ($40) and posters ($100). For some reason, as David Hyde Pierce said this afternoon, the names of different cast members are scribbled on them.

I noticed that Ziemba, Sabella, and Sikora haven't signed all of them (mine, included), but, of course, no harm, no foul. Worthwhile donation to a very worthy cause.

Now only if they sent some of the money to the "Save the Papermill" fund.

It is a good cause, but for $100, which is the most any show, other than Jersey Boys, is charging, you should have the entire cast on the poster, especially all of the leads.

I've bought all of the other posters and would like Curtains, but for $100, I may have to pass if all of the leads haven't signed.

I was at Jersey Boys tonight and they were offering Walk Like a Man or Big Girls Dont Cry buttons for $5, no posters. I suppose they ran out.

Kris Koop, who is in the ensemble of POTO (and understudies Carlotta), is our fearless and very dedicated leader of fundraising at POTO. She's amazing, putting together the cookbook, organizing the poster signing parties for the cast, being out in the lobby every night collecting. Between Kris, the great stage management team, and all the actors it's been such an honor collecting with them. I'm only a bartender at the theater, but I wanted to be involved, and even though I moved theaters, I'm able to get back and help them every night. It's such a joy for me.
Kris is going to be Miss April on the bc/efa website, so check it out.

Anyone have any updates on Mamma Mia? Are they doing anything this year for BC/EFA?

[ken8631]

Got a cube from "Company" Friday night - they aren't signed, but are pretty neat. They are producers gifts to the cast from opening night. Raul said on stage that there aren't many left. They also had signed posters for $50 and signed playbills for $20.
