What is your favorite bit of theatre merchandise?

Posted: 4/19/09 at 8:04pm

I know that there people out there who like to get merchandise from their favorite show. I was just wondering, what is your favorite bit of theatre merchandise that you have or at least have heard of.

I don't have this but I think that the best bit of merchandise for any show is The Who's Pinball Wizard. A pinball machine made for the musical version of Tommy.

Ha, that is brilliant!

I think my favorite has got to be the commemorative coconuts from Spamalot-- with instructions on how to use them.

There's tons of better things, but I always loved the Syringe pens that Jekyll & HYDE used to have/give out. Very clever! Haha.

I always buy a shirt from whatever show I see and I wear them all the time. I love them all! I also keep all my Playbills in a binder with the ticket stub, but if its a signed Playbill, I frame it and put it on the wall.
