I have answered this before. Last night's Playbill from the Legally Blonde closing has to be added. It has almost everyone's name on it. You can't even read most of them since they are overlapping each other.

I think this thread deserves a bump... Brag away!

I love these Playbills that I've recently added to my collection:
- A Behanding In Spokane (signed by OBC and McDonagh)
- Waiting For Godot (not a Playbill but the London program signed by Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen)
- Ragtime (signed by leads of the revival cast)
- The Pride (signed by Whishaw, Dancy and Riseborough)

I had a rather large collection of signed playbills but I've given most of them away to charities so they could auction them off. I did keep a handful of old ones, unsigned, that I just couldn't part with. These are all original Broadway casts: Sweet Bird of Youth, A Moon for the Misbegotten, 1776, Mame, Follies, Chicago, 42nd Street, others I'm not thinking of right now because I'm at work.

My favorite recent addition is signed by the entire original cast of Billy Elliot. Including all 3 Billys, 2 Michaels, and all the ballet girls!

While it is not strictly a Playbill, my most prized program is for Ethel Merman at Carnegie Hall, her last public appearance in NYC. The Hall was beside itself with adoration, with thunderous applause and cheers. I got Merman to sign her autograph on the title page, also getting Jule Styne's autograph on the same page. I have a very rare LP record of the concert--Ethel sounds great.

My favorite playbill would have to be my NEXT TO NORMAL playbill signed by all six members of the original cast (Alice Ripley, J. Robert Spencer, Aaron Tveit, Jennifer Damiano, Adam Chanler-Berat and Louis Hobson) from when I saw it during previews on Broadway. I know it's not rare or anything, but the memories I have of that performance and meeting all six of them at the stage door are very special to me, and I love remembering them when I look at that playbill.
