last year when i saw thoroughly modern millie they announced that after the show you could get the cast to autograph things and to get pics with them to raise money for broadwat cares because it was the holiday season. any chance other theater will be doing this thanksgiving time? i'm seeing wicked so fingers crossed...

I understand Harvey will be selling autographed boobs that he wears in HAIRPSRAY. I think they'd make great holiday gifts; especially if you run out of coasters for your guests to place their drinks on.

This is part of the Annual Gypsy of the Year collection, that goes from Oct. 24-Dec. 8, that the shows do to raise funds for "Braodway Cares: Equity Fights AIDS." Typically Broadway shows will give Autographed Playbills for a $20 donation, or the Poster Autogreaphed for a $40 donation. They will also auction off items from the show, like Harvey is doing, or in Take Me Out they sell a few of the props, even last week Hugh Jackman auctioned off a Kiss from him, on stage, a man from the audience won, it was GREAT!

I've been able to get some great Cast-autographed Playbills during this time of year, and it's a worthy cause too.

My wishes are with you for Wicked!

It's great how Broadway does so much for this.

Why don't they take a % off every ticket for this too?

2 things:
1) Gypsy is selling autographed gloves & other doo-dads.
2) A % off the tickets comes from the production & could ultimately cost quite a bit of money, but autographed thingamajigs cost next to nothing & can come directly from the company; can't see producers dipping into an increasingly shallow well, despite the almost universal support fo BC/EFA.
