For fans of Broadway, musicals, specific plays or actors, or entertainment in general, Broadway souvenir programs are a great collectible item. We’ve all been to a play or concert, maybe a production filled with school kids, where programs are handed out at the door. They list the names of the songs to be played or sung, or a little information about the play or musical, and all the names of the musicians, dancers and actors to appear. Broadway souvenir programs, however, are sold as you’re entering a show, rather than handed out for free.
Lots of souvenirs can be found for sale at every Broadway show. T-shirts, maybe even soundtracks for long-running shows, pictures of the cast, calendars, mugs, hats—you name it, it’s there for sale. But especially for people who attend a lot of shows and love the souvenirs, Broadway souvenir programs don’t take up much space, they’re light, and they encapsulate the entire entertainment experience in one small book.
Right at your fingertips you’ll have full color pictures from the production, a cast list with some information about each actor, information about the show itself and more. It’s a great way to remember a great performance for years to come. And if you can catch actors at the stage door, or maybe find your way to an official signing, you can have your Broadway souvenir programs autographed, giving them even more significance to you and value as part of a Broadway collection.
Some people, however, might not be interested in the Broadway show, or it might be a show that’s been closed for years, but they want Broadway souvenir programs from the productions as collector items. Whether they were a fan of the show or just an actor in it, or they’re collecting programs from the Broadway shows available during a certain period of time, the programs must be purchased from dealers or other collectors. Another option is to look for different versions of the same Broadway souvenir programs. Many long-running shows constantly update their programs, making the discovery of older versions a fun challenge for avid collectors.
For most current and recent Broadway souvenir programs, Playbill, the exclusive Broadway magazine, offers many official Broadway programs for sale online. This is a great source for those currently running or recently closed programs you’d like to add to your collection. Online auctions, as usual, are a great place to find vintage Broadway souvenir programs, with or without autographs. For those that are autographed, compare the photo of the signature carefully to one that you know is authentic.
Also, note the seller’s other inventory. Do they look suspicious because they have 40 Boy from Oz Broadway souvenir programs all supposedly signed by Hugh Jackman? Have they sold the same item before, or is the one you’re considering the only one available? What is the likelihood that one person or company has 10 programs signed by Liza Minelli? Use your good judgment when purchasing these items online.
