So I'm tempted to get My Fair Lady merchandise online, but the hoodie is just SO expensive. Should I wait for the BCEFA flea market to see if they have MFL merchandise? Or should I just get it now? Any thoughts appreciated!

What is the BCEFA flea market?  I've never heard of that before...

If it is something I really want, I just get it. Not guaranteed you will find it at the flea market. Or if they do, you chance not getting one if they sell out before you get there. JMO

Not every piece of leftover merch ends up at the Flea Market the same year if at all, and what does end up there isn't guaranteed to be there by the time you arrive. It's very much a gamble.

There's also a fair chance that LCT knew that MFL hoodies weren't going to sell like gangbusters, so they probably don't have 500 in the back, and they can keep reducing the price as the show nears its end. I've been to many shows with reduced price merch and many items selling out for their last few shows.

I think there's a chance they could have MFL merch. I don't remember anything from last year besides windowcards. But speaking of apparel, I haven't many hoodies in recent years and it's rare to find something from popular shows. Basically, if you really want it, just get it because I think the chance of finding a MFL hoodie at the flea, let alone one in your size, is very slim. You might have a slightly better shot if you were looking for a T-shirt.

Knowing how Marquee Merchandise (the company that does the LCT merch) I would not count on them having much, if any, of the My Fair Lady merch at their table (if they do one this year). They’ll keep the remaining stock for the website sales (both shoplct.com and broadwaystore.com) or possibly send it out with the tour.
