The Color Purple: Cast Insert w/ JHud?

Hoping someone can answer this question.

I attended TCP last March (Jennifer Hudson as Shug). I purchased a souvenir program, and noticed when I got home (Canada) that there was no cast insert (typically, white paper, w/ black and white head shots of the current cast with bios).

I noticed an earlier thread about TCP souvenir programs, and one poster said: "Mine came with an insert for Color Purple, I got it in December."

Today, I called Broadway Merchandising, LLC (who handles their marketing), and inquired about the insert. The representative indicated that prior to Headley Headley, there was NO CAST INSERT. When Heather  came on-board as Shug, they created a cast insert. This representative with BwayMerch said that she personally created the cast insert with Heather Headley and that she knows for certain, that no cast insert existed prior to this.

Does anyone actually have a cast insert featuring the original cast of TCP revival?  If so, do you have any suggestions on how I could obtain one?

Many thanks!

Thanks @Z5.

I think the theatre itself must have been inserting them into their souvenir programs. BwayMerch has never had them, but they do have the inserts featuring Heather. I'll contact the theatre directly, but, I'm not confident they'd still have old inserts kicking around.

Perhaps there is someone on here, who would like to sell me theirs? If so, message me!
