Times Square turned into every theatre lover’s dream as Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS presented the record-setting 26th Annual Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction on Sunday, September 23, 2012. The all day, outdoor extravaganza featured celebrities from Broadway’s biggest shows, live and silent auctions with once-in-a-lifetime experiences and exclusive backstage access, and one-of-a-kind theatre treasures.
BroadwayWorld.com was there to capture all of the excitement of the day! Here are photos from the merchandise tables with all the hardworking volunteers!
Among the priceless lots available through this year's Grand Auction was the opportunity to meet the legendary Barbra Streisand, a private lunch with stage-and-screen icon Angela Lansbury, opening night VIP tickets to 15 of this season's new Broadway shows, the shirts off Hugh Jackman’s and Ricky Martin's backs – literally, and much more.
Broadway and Off-Broadway shows were represented at flea market tables offering show biz memorabilia not available anywhere else, including props and set pieces, custom-made keepsakes from costumes and rigging, handcrafted ornaments and dolls, and other theatrical riches.
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.
