YOUR Playbills

What Playbills do you have from Broadway shows and their off-Broadway run such as "Legally Blonde"??

I have:
*Wicked (B'Way)
*Hairspray (B'Way)

Speaking of Playbills, do they give out Playbills when a Broadway show is on tour??

Depends on the location. Boston, Chicago, LA, SF give playbills. Places like Providence, RI make their own program.

I have over 150 official Playbills (from Othello in 1984? to Spring Awakening in 2006-haven't been to the theater yet this year, sad). Plus numerous off-broadway, off-off-broadway, and regional programs.

I have around 300. Listing them would waste your time as well as my own.

I have a box full of playbills, signed and unsigned. I can't tell you exactly how big it is, but you could probably fit a medium-sized dog in it.

Lizzie, what kind of dog? Its very important when measuring volume in dogs that you include the type of dog, or else it could throw off the whole measurement.

Perhaps a New Guinea Singing Dog.

I have a lot of Playbills. A good portion of them are signed. All the signed Playbills are framed and on my wall (they're great conversation pieces, whenever my parents have company they're always intrigued). My unsigned Playbills are kept (this is embarrassing) in a couple of shoe boxes. I have no idea what to do with them. I could buy a big ole binder and a crap load of top loaders but I don't know where I'd keep the binder. I already have a binder chock full of signed headshots and one for ticket stubs and I really don't need another. /end mini tangent. IN SUMMATION: I would list them all, but it would take a while. I think one day I'll make an inventory.

As aforementioned, it would be a waste of time to tell you ALL of the playbills I have.

Some highlights:

Original Broadway 'My Fair Lady' run, replacement cast, c. 1960.

SIGNED:
The Woman in White, Fiddler on the Roof

and MANY MORE.

Phantom of the Opera [Broadway]

I have a 2006 RENT Playbill unsigned and the Les Miz Revival Playbill signed by the entire cast.

I probably have about 12 or 1,300 in my collection of Broadway musical playbills (including special events and Pre-Broadway or Off-Broadway tryouts if they moved to Broadway later).

The earliest I have (I think) is "Sporting Days" which played the Hippodrome in 1908.

I have pretty much everything (with the exception of a few) from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s and am trying to complete my collection of the 1960s and 1970s.
