With Hairspray in town, I thought it would be cool if I could get a can of hairspray as a souvenir. Well, they don't sell them so I don't think that will happen.
I do have a candlestick from Les Mis, a piece of the set from Cats and a ripped "deed" from Crazy For You.
What does everyone else have? I already know I will be extremely jealous very soon.....

I have Anthony Rapp's sharpie pen. Not exactly a prop, but when seeing the Little Shop of Horrors tour, I made a last minute decision to go to the stage door, so he ran back inside and got one for me and let me keep it
Sadly, that is about as close as I've come to owning a prop/costume...

I have a piece of the original Les Mis barracade. As for how I got that, it's a long story.

I have most of the prop notes from Phantom, beads from the original NYC Phantom chandelier, Christine's bouquet from the final lair scene of Phantom, and I think that's it.

I have a couple of pewter mugs from Beauty and the Beast. I thought hard about buying a pair of tap shoes from The Tap Dance Kid at the most recent Flea Market, but decided I couldn't justify it since the shoes were a size too small.
I know they're not costumes, but I have show jackets from Beauty and the Beast, Starlight Express, and West Side Story. Did you know that it's good luck to both give away and receive show jackets? (Not sure if it's as lucky to buy a used show jacket at a Flea Market and then give it away...)

Posted: 10/6/04 at 8:10pm(Sob) I really haven't got that much...Just a fake rose and a bunch of big sparkley confetti from Chicago. I also have a couple of locks of "hair" from Michael Crawford's wig from DotV (the one they used in previews) I wish there were more.....

Posted: 10/6/04 at 8:24pmI don't own anything, but IF i could own anything, it would have been the picture of Christian and Sutton from Millie that was outside the theatre by the box office door.

And if we're counting roses and razzle dazzles from Chicago.... I have 21 roses and, I kid you not, a box full of razzle dazzles. You know, if I gave some back, they could probably re-use them lol
