Now that the season has kicked off for Spring donations, I thought we could post what shows are offering for the cause here. Post em friends!

Does Cursed child have signed window cards?

[Ahmy]

The Come From Away tour (so far) only has signed window cards for $40 CAD. (They can only take cash or cheque up here, because whatever app they use to take credit card payments doesn't work in Canada.)

Mean Girls:
cast signed posters and Playbills
“I’m a cool mom” apron. Sorry... didn’t get prices!

Tina Fey made a surprise appearance and they auctioned off a meet and greet with her after the show, a signed Playbill and photo op. The top 2 bidders paid 3k each; winners were able to take up 4 ppl total.

To Kill A Mockingbird has $200 cast signed window cards. They were giving a portion of their proceeds to the Southern Poverty Law Center

Any reports from Waitress?

Any updates in general?

I'm curious what Harry Potter has. In December they had the signed window cards that were the "first preview" commemorative edition.

With the new cast starting this week, and all their rehearsals, I wonder if it's like what they do with shows in previews that don't collect. But it would seem strange for the new cast to sell things signed by the previous cast.

I bought the first preview signed window card in December but I'd like to have a signed one of the regular logo window card.

Yiddish Fiddler had $20 signed playbills and $40 signed posters last night.

The Cher Show has $40 signed playbills

[ClumsyDude15]

I was at Harry Potter on Wednesday and they didn’t collect at all. Perhaps they’ll wait until the new cast starts and begin then.

Went to a college programming scouting conference over the weekend and they auctioned off signed posters for Aladdin,Anastasia,and MFL . All went for over $200. First two went to students and last one went to an advisor.

King Kong had $40 signed playbills and $60 signed posters, as well as a prop ticket for $20 and a limited edition tote bag + prop + poster for $200.

I was this there this past weekend, they said that since they just opened, they would be participating later this month.

Any updates from the weekend?

[the.hard.part]

Frozen had $5 koozies, $20 aprons "cooking never bothered me anyway", and $100 signed posters

[RWPrincess]

Anastasia has the signed Playbills and window cards. I didn’t catch the prices but in the past the Playbills were $40.

[spikethebunny]

From my week there:

Cursed Child didn’t offer anything.

Ferryman didn’t have anything.

Pretty Woman had cast signed playbills for $20, posters for $100 and posters signed by Bryan Adams for $300.

Phantom had playbills and posters and a signed monkey music box replica (I can’t remember the prices) and I got one of the Phantom notes for $20.

Wicked had playbills and posters but I can’t remember the prices. I think they started at $100.


King Kong had signed playbills and posters for $40 and $100 I believe. As well as a red ticket to the Kong show for $20 and strings from the Kong puppet made into a keychain for $20 (which is what I got).


Network had signed playbills, posters and Bryan Cranston’s book autographed. They started at $100.

Nothing at Be More Chill (which seemed like a missed opportunity seeing the crazy merch lines and stage door).

Nothing at Hadestown (which I expected since it just opened).

The Prom won for my favorite items: for $5 I got a bag of Cheetos and a pride flag (Barry Glickman’s gay snack pack, they called it), and for $20 I got a sparkly recorder with the recorder sheet music for The Acceptance Song. They also had playbills and posters.
