Favorite Broadway Flea Market Finds? |
A couple of years ago I found all four albums of Harvey Schmidt's MOVIE MUSIC IN A SMALL TEXAS TOWN- autographed. Also, a small portfolio of paintings he did as concept for the original 110 IN THE SHADE. Sometimes, luck is with you.
I also have a red water bottle that used to say Hello Dolly! Broadway Cast or something like that but it has since faded
And comet which made panels from their curtain and earrings from their chandelier. Still can't find a pair at any price....

Oh those earrings were THE FIND the year they were at Flea. Wow. I was volunteering at the stand next to GC and there was such a huge crowd. Those earrings went FAST.

This is the first year that I will attend. Is it best to get there early when it starts at 10am? Also, are prices for the items expensive orr pretty reasonable?

I got there 10/15 minutes early last year, and people were already shopping. So if you want first pick, I'd get there early.
For the most part prices are reasonable, but it really depends on the table and what you're looking for. Leftover merch from a closed show is a totally different ballpark than props and other higher-end items. Also, as an example, last year I saw a copy of Angels in America signed by Tony Kushner for $30 at one booth, and $70 at another. And, of course, there are a lot items that it's difficult to put a price tag on, so it's hard to say whether or not the prices is reasonable.
Last year was my first year going, so YMMV.

I got a Legally Blonde CD that was made for Tony voters and that Waitress tony voters Book last year!

OBC In The Heights for $1 and OBC Hamilton souvenir book for $5. Also a friend found me a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang mug (if that counts!)

I am starting to get excited about the BCEFA Flea Market coming up, and have been trawling the board for old posts regarding everyone's off the wall finds.
Anyone have any interesting scores from past years? I'm especially interested in things outside of window cards and playbills, as it is always interesting to me what pops up outside of the norm.
My favorite finds last year were a 4 foot tall plexiglass An American in Paris placard that used to hang outside of the Palace, Tyne Daly's show jacket from It Shoulda Been You (her booth is always a hoot) and signed dance shoes from AAIP."
One of the actual stars from the Carousel set. We rewired it and used it as a Christmas tree star last year. And at Tyne Daly's booth I got her lorgnette necklace from a tv pilot she did ages ago she said.
Oh, and a full revival signed playbill from 1776!
I only went once and (that was enough). I did buy several caps (which I have never worn to this day) to closed shows , magnets, and brand new cast recordings for a $1 a piece.

That is such a great use of the Carousel Star! I was intrigued by those at the flea but had no idea how I would go about utilizing it.
Probably my favourite thing though was the Priscilla OBC recording. After listening to it I declared that I really wanted an Australian revival and it was announced the following week!
