| I, too, have Playbills for a couple of shows I don't remember seeing and some with little recollection of what their plots were. Plays like Spofford and Poor Murderer are just titles to me at this point. In 36 binders, they are arranged chronologically backwards, so that No Time for Sergeants (1956) and Bells Are Ringing (1957) are at the very end of the first binder, and then they go forward to the most recent shows I saw when last in New York. Actually, I do consult them sometimes and can look them up by years, and it's fun to see all the old car and liquor ads and also find now prominent names of actors who played very small parts in their first Broadway shows. The binders have all the shows I've actually seen, and there are drawers and boxes full of shows not seen and all my London programs. What will become of all these, I don't know. I dread the idea of getting rid of them at some point, if and when I have to give up my house, and I'll probably just get on Talkin' Broadway and ask, "Is anyone looking for a Playbill from some obscure show?" Then there are all the cast recordings from Broadway and London..., but that's another story. | |
