Is Christy Carlson Romano in the Avenue Q playbill?

No, this is a December Playbill, Christy was only there 8 weeks (end September - end November).

Guys and Dolls was no limited engagement. It got horrible reviews and horrible attendances and closed early. Just throwing that out there.

Sorry, an innocent mistake on my part. Reviews? Reviews are the last thing on a collector's mind when requesting a Playbill. Most of us request them for other reasons. In the case of Guy's and Doll's, many of us requested a Playbill because Oliver Platt and Lauren Graham signed it. Two wonderful actors. It is a great addition to any collection!

When you put it off as a limited engagement, it seems like ... it was a success. And it was a major failure.

Reviews/status of a production are extremely important to collecting playbills. If you have a Phantom of the Opera playbill -- who cares, there are well over 500 million probably, ... so it's not rare/that valueable. Lion King? No...most of the cast are dancers. A Tale of Two Cities...the musical? Valueable: Flop, only ran for two months - previews in this case even more rare because of cut songs. And then there are valueable ones like Curtains, which although ran for a year, still flopped, but starred a Tony Winner/TV Star (Hyde Pierce), two other Tony Award nominees (Monk & Ziemba) and an American-Broadway-justAsManyCreditsInLondon-star (Jill Paice)...


Rant Time:
Also I count anyone who asks the stage manager for a signed playbill for the sole purpose of getting two celebrities, who got pretty bad reviews themselves, just incredibly lazy. You could have easily sent a request to Platt and asked him for Graham's autograph as well. I would LOVE to know what you/other people write in your requests..."Hi. I'm a big fan of Guys and Dolls. I have the Cast Recording and don't stop listening to it. Lauren Graham, in case you didn't know was in my favourite TV show: Gilmore Girls. Also, I love Oliver Platt. Can I have a cast-signed playbill?" I'm surprised they must answer to that ... if I was stage manager I wouldn't (especially since half that info is false). And also: Craig Bierko was in it, wasn't he in that Scary Movie 4??

Okay, I get it. Between this thread and the other thread you have made your point.

I admit it I am incrediblly lazy sometimes and not much effort went into several of my Playbill requests. Therefore the reason I'm hoping someone who appreciates them more would like to add them to their collection. The Playbill's deserve a better home.

Moving on?

I'm so surprised you took the time to rant Pimps - that is just not like you
