Mine would have to be my Phantom mask, they released about 1000 for the 21st Anniversary, also i don't know if these two count but was in New York when the Little Mermaid was closing and got given a couple of Bubbles off of the set when they were moving out, and when i produced Avenue Q in Tunbridge Wells i got given the girl bear puppet afterwards smile.gif

Would love one of the Love Never Dies rings!

I don't buy merch, apart from programmes. And a poster if I really love the show!

I love my signed Austentatious poster that everyone got at their Dress Circle performance. It's a wonderful little show. The only cast member not there was Ilan Goodman. He's now in 'Six Degrees' at the Old Vic. I wanna stage door with it and get him to sign but I'm not sure how he'd react!!

one of my favourite pieces of merchandise i have i didnt actually buy from the theatre....my parents brought me the book of Cat on a hot tin roof with the current casts picture on the front and i got it signed by James earl jones and his son (who took it in to get signed for me) came out and said did i want to meet James as i had had ot wait so long in the cold and i said yes please and he took me into James dressing room and James said i looked cold so to sit down and warm up and it ended up that me and my best friend(who was waiting outisde thinking i wouldnt be long who was then brought in as well) actually got to hang out with James Earl Jones for roughly 20 mins and its so weird when i actually shook hands with him....legend is all i can say. xx

Aww, that's a lovely story! Stuff like that means a lot more than just buying something from the gift shop.

I have a few things but one of the best is one of the Leaflets that is used in Hair on Broadway during the show - the other is a signed album of In the Heights that I got given when I was in NYC and met the cast
This is my street, I smile at the faces I've known all my life, They regard me with pride.
