what's the 'record breaking' 'Fiddler' you have?????

A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!'' Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

I'm impressed -- how did you EVER get Katharine Hepburn to autograph your Playbill? She was notorious for not signing. There's a story that, while in Venice shooting Summertime, two nuns approached her and asked for her autograph. She lectured them for a about a half-hour why she wouldn't sign, when it would have taken her two seconds to give sthem ome kind of scribble.

Every Playbill I own is prized. Off the top of my head:

Spamalot (my first B/way musical for years) - signed by David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria, Steve Rosen, Christopher Sieber, Michael McGrath, John Bolton, plus more playbills afterwards signed by other cast members.

Curtains - signed by David Hyde Pierce, Debra Monk, Karen Ziemba, Jason Danieley, Noah Racey, Edward Hibbert, Megan Sikora, Jill Paice, Michael X Martin, John Bolton, Michael McCormack and Ernie Sabella

Prelude To A Kiss - signed by Alan Tudyk and John Mahoney.

Chicago - signed by Bebe Neuwirth

Drowsy Chaperone - signed by Bob Martin

November - signed by Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalfe and Dylan Baker

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - signed by Jonathan Pryce and Greg Jbara

Xanadu - signed by Kerry Butler, Cheyenne Jackson, Mary Testa, Tony Roberts

I have some other playbills / programmes from Broadway & the West End, but I'm not an avid 'collector'. I prefer to get autographs from performers who I've found particulalrly entertaining. Hopefully that will include Roger Bart, Christopher Fitzgerald, Sutton Foster and Megan Mulally next time I'm in New York.

Seen some shows in my time....

I lost all of my older playbills from the 70's. So my most cherished is probably my Playbill signed by the casy of the Company revival. It was a gift. It was sold for BCEFA.
