| I did not arrive until 1:30, and by the time I arrived, there wasn't really a backup at the tables, although the interesting stuff was also pretty much gone by that point. Whatever interesting stuff was left was mostly still there because the prices were high. The only interesting thing I got was a Playbill for $1 from the original cast of I Can Get It for You Wholesale, with the "born in Madagascar and raised in Rangoon" bio for Barbra Streisand. The auction bidding seemed much higher than in previous years in general. Anything Merrily-related went for a lot, and the cast members of both the original and the revival were generous and had a bunch of items at the auctions. I think this year will probably be a record-breaker for amount of money raised. Although I understand why it seems fitting to have the Flea Market tables on 44th and 45th, it makes sense to wonder whether it's time to consider using 43rd or 8th Avenue instead. I also think that putting Six/Hadestown/Outsiders/Water for Elephants/Suffs/The Notebook back-to-back-to-back probably created an enormous traffic jam that could have been improved if the tables for so many new musicals or ones with a big teen fanbase weren't clustered together like that. |
