When you put it off as a limited engagement, it seems like ... it was a success. And it was a major failure.khackdrums wrote: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!![]()

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??
