One signed, Opening Night Playbill signed by the Original Broadway Cast?


The reason that it's odd is because the show opened on Broadway last year in March. Not only that, but some of the show's cast has left and they signed it. I do remember mentioning it was Jill Paice in the show that made me go see it and I loved it...and her name was on the cover signed, but she left in Feb. Who knows?! It's strange they just have random Opening Night playbills laying around seeing how Playbill.com usually takes them and sells them for $10-$50!

That's a great success! So cool that you got an Opening Night one !
congrats!

Odd, usually that never happens. Are you sure its an opening night one? Perhaps they had a few lying around that were signed and they just sent it to you. It was quite popular when it came out.

I sent a request sometime lately, 2 weeks ago perhaps? I do hope I get something back as I really would like a signed playbill.

Congrats on your success

Cheers

Awesome Success! {thumb2}

That does sound odd, as you say. Amazing success though!

I had the same thing happen to me a couple of months back... I thought I wouldn't get an Original Cast one since Jill Paice had already left the show, but I did!
I'm not sure if it's an opening night one, though, since if the Playbill store is correct, all opening night Playbills have a blue "OPENING NIGHT" sticker on them.
Awesome success nonetheless, though! Congrats!

night Playbills have a blue "OPENING NIGHT" sticker on them.

thats what I thought. But if it is opening night, you just got an amazing gift mate LOL

Nah the Playbill store just likes to trick people . Do you really think anyone would want to put a sticker on 500++ playbills and then get rid of htem all by the next day!? Haha I wouldn't! You can usually find opening night playbills on ebay for much cheaper. I've actually bought two playbills off of ebay for reasons unknown!? I just kidn of did it for my collection but I bought Jekyll & HYDE one for $3 and I got it and it was opening night! (See below!).

To see if you have an opening night playbil just go to the page where it says like
"DAVID HYDE PIERCE DEBRA MONK
in
CURTAINS
Starring:
hghgjh"

And look at the very top of that page it says the opening date. If it doesn't, then it's not an opening night playbill. Playbill.com will always give you an opening night playbill, but they just tack a sticker on it and put it in some fancy shipping thing.

Examples:



The first one is the Curtains one I got today, followed by: Dracula, The Musical; Les Liaisons Dangeruses...(Which I actually received through the mail recently as well!); Jekyll & HYDE: The Musical; and the last one is Curtains, which I received from David Hyde Pierce a few weeks ago, with as you can see nothing at the top.

Those were just a few I checked...I wouldn't be suprised if I had more, but probably unsigned.

Check yours! They may be more valuable then you think!

And for the record, if anyone watches the Legally Blonde: The Musical: Search for the Next Elle Woods on MTV....a familiar face appears with the Dracula Playbill. ........!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something MTV wouldn't want you to know!

Laura Bell Bundy is the life of that show. And Kate Shindle is a nice add-on to her. I don't know where that show would be without Laura Bell for sure. That reality girl better be good or .........................................!
