It appears that the spring Broadway Cares post-show fundraising has begun (which I always look forward to quite a bit!) - tonight at A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, which was just as amazing as the buzz has claimed, they were selling signed posters for $100.00. Any word on others shows beginning to collect?

Posted: 3/18/10 at 1:17amYank! was collecting tonight. Nothing in particular being sold- except, according to the BC/EFA speech, cast members (Bobby Steggert is apparently quite expensive).

Posted: 3/18/10 at 8:26pmFela this past Sunday had signed playbills for $30, signed posters for $100 and they had a limited amount of sweatshirts made just for the cast for sale, about 150 left. Probably sold out of those by now. Addams Family as of this past Tuesday did nothing after the curtain.

Shows in previews generally don't collect during previews.
Behanding in Spokane will begin collecting tonight. However, they won't be selling anything.

Posted: 3/19/10 at 5:34pmHow long do they usually collect/sell things for? I'm thinking I might be headed to the city in April/May timeframe. Will the still be collecting then? Thanks!

Posted: 3/19/10 at 6:03pmIf I'm not mistaken, it's now through right before the Easter Bonnet on April 26 & 27.
#11BC/EFA Spring Fundraising
Posted: 3/19/10 at 11:55pmAs if Yank! wasn't already wonderful enough - I saw it today and was blown away - they announced tonight that earlier today the cast shot a pin-up calendar that will be available at the theatre next week or through Broadway Cares. They said with twelve actors in the cast, everyone gets a month!

Posted: 3/24/10 at 11:13amBEHANDING's posters are $200 each. Last night they only had 6 signed ones and sold 4 of them! I hope they sign some more for tonight's show because they sold more than I would have thought! The posters are signed by the four actors and the playwright.

From my own weekend observations:
No plea- God of Carnage, American Idiot (as expected), Sondheim on Sondheim (as expected) and Mr. & Mrs. Fitch.
Plea, but nothing for sale- A Little Night Music

Mary Poppins is collecting:
Signed poster: $40
Apron: $20
Bag: $10
Backstage tour/ Meet and greet with Bert, Michael, and Jane: $150
#24BC/EFA Spring Fundraising
Posted: 3/29/10 at 11:36am^ It's weird Mary Poppins increased the price on the signed poster. When I was there in the fall, they sold them for $25, unless it was towards the end of the fundraiser and they wanted to sell as many as possible.
