[ashley0139]

The link is not working for me, even when I go directly from the BC/EFA website. Could someone post the list?

[alliez92092]

This is 3 days after my birthday. Why can't I go? Oh yeah, because I have to live in Boston.

This will be my second year at the flea market, and I am excited already.

I learned from the mistakes I made last year. I don't have a show scheduled until 4:30PM (NYMF-Love Kills), so I can be in the autograph line every hour (I had to leave fot the 3PM A Chorus Line performance last year). I will be in it early every hour, so I dont have a repeat of missing a line (12PM) like I did last year.

I absolutely love the lineup so far. I will definitely be requesting Bernadette Peters for the photo booth in the 3PM hour. Getting a picture with her would be even bigger for me than the ones I got with Bebe Neuwirth and Edie Falco last year.

Last year they took you out of the autograph line if you wanted to get a picture, and then put you back where you left off. I hope they do that again this year.

Here's an interesting story from last year:

I will also be looking at the tables this year for a jacket from a production. The Les Miz jacket I got at the Phantom table last year dosen't fit. Since it is autographed by it's former owner (Hugh Panaro), I would never wear it anyway. Imagine my shock whan I found that autograph on the inner pocket.

As you can tell, i'm excited!

[donna_darko_23]

Wow, that's a great line-up for the tables so far!

[stella985]

Here's the list for those who can't open the PDF:

11-11:50: F. Murray Abraham, Jonathan Groff, Lea Michele
12-12:50: Anthony Rapp, Ilene Kristen, Jo Anne Worley, Julia Murney, Kerry Butler, Orfeh
1-1:50: Beth Leavel, Debra Monk, Marian Seldes, Mary Testa, Tony Roberts
2-2:50: Bryan Batt, Christine Ebersole, Dana Ivey, Jake Silberman, Kamar de los Reyes, Robin Strasser, Sherris Saum, Van Hansis
3-3:50: Amy Irving, Bernadette Peters, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Christopher Sieber, Corin Redgrave, Jeff Branson, Lynn Redgrave, Mellisa Claire Egan, Nicole Forester, Robert Newman, Vanessa Redgrave

So, do people just pay money, line up, and then go down the table and get photos with people?

[misschung]

I have never been to this before, so I'm giddily excited to say the least.

Last year they took you out of the autograph line if you wanted to get a picture, and then put you back where you left off. I hope they do that again this year.


So how did this work, exactly?

[WaltSummersPI]

At certain times, a star will go over to the picture area. Those people who want a picture with that specific person are pulled out of the autograph line to get their picture, then you go back to the autograph line to finish up. It's great fun.

[Lm4dham05]

do you pay per picture??

[shiz_student94]

I would care to know why they have Jeff Branson & Melissa Claire Egan in the line up? Apparently this is more than just 'Broadway?' I don't know too much about how this works. SO. Haha. Just wondering. Jeff & Melissa are insanely sweet. Woo.

[ashley0139]

Thanks for posting that, Stella.

So, do people just pay money, line up, and then go down the table and get photos with people?

I've never done it before, so I can't be sure, but I think that list is just the autograph line. There are no pictures, you just get things signed. People go into the photo booths separately.

[WaltSummersPI]

shiz, a lot of the ABC Daytime stars come down to this, too.

[DivaBrigader]

Here is how it works for all the newbies:

You pay $20 to go on the line at a certain time and you can get the autographs of everyone at the table in that time slot. They will sign up to 2 items each. Once you get to the end of the line, if you want the people from the next time slot, you have to wait in the line and pay $20 again. You can do the autograph line all day long if you so choose. Simultaneously, the people will step out from the autographing table to go pose for pictures. Usually there are people waiting for pics only and whoever gets the most requests is asked to come over to take pics in the photo booth. The pics are $10 a pop. If you are getting autographs and someone you want to meet just got called over to take pics, you can ask to wait around for that person to return. You can also get off the autograph line to take a pic with somebody and then get back in the autograph line but always ask permission from someone running the show or else they will think you're cutting. That should cover just about everything.

Thanks for the info!
