What's your favorite thing to get at the merchandise store (for souvenir) when you go to see a broadway show?

I like the programs.

I would buy more keychains but they always break.

I used to get T-Shirts at every show until they started taking up too much space in my drawers. I've worn maybe 2 or 3 of them. lol
SO I stopped.

I love the programs, and they're really not expensive.
I have a few posters, but those also take up a lot of space.

Posters - if I really liked the show, I'll get the poster and have it framed.
Magnets
Program

I REALLY wish the original Sprg Awakening Poster was still available. I really hate the new one, and I would like to have it represented.

Definately the posters, they are the best things available. I love all the different show logos. I always frame them with the playbill and the ticket.

Also, if I really like the show then I will get a program.

The recent revival of The Ritz sold embroidered bath towels.

They were/are the single funniest and ingenious souvenir I have seen in 48 years of theatre-going. I gave them as Christmas gifts last year.

I love show t-shirts, but I'm a bit funny about 'em. I haven't worn my 'Wicked' ones at all since it opened in the West End. I won't wear any show t-shirts in London or New York. I like wearing my 'Equus' one when I know I'm going to be around crowds of small children. I should probably stop buying them. But I do like the green v-neck 'Wicked' shirt a great deal...

Show shirts are so overpriced, but I'm a sucker and i buy them. I also have a strange fascination with stuffed, show themed monkeys. I have ones from Wicked, The Drowsy Chaperone, and Inherit the Wind.

fafolguy, have you tried Triton Gallery? They have an extensive inventory of Broadway posters. Even if they don't have any, they can make a copy of it for you.

Just the playbill for me! No souvenirs...I'd rather use that money towards seeing another show!

FVALLE24 - Thanks for the head's up. Turns out, they do have the one I'm looking for. They need someone to boost their google rating, cause I have never seen their site come up in a search.
Thanks!

I'm with bwayfan4. The FREE playbill is generally enough for me. If I really love a show I'll get the window card or maybe the program. But I have to flat out LOVE a show to do that.

Whenever I go see a show usually, I buy both the program and the CD, and then have the playbill, CD, and program signed at once. One of my favorite souveniers are small things which can be cheaply bought in large quantities, since whenever I see a show, I love getting something from it, like the little red bands from Spring Awakening, or the Pin from Little Mermaid, and giving it to them. Otherwise, the classic Playbill.
