Date Set For 2011 Broadway Flea Market

The annual Broadway Flea Market will set up shop in Shubert Alley at 44th Street on September 25. Fans can enter the market from 10am to 7pm.

Each year at the Flea Market, merchant tables sell a variety of theater memorabilia such as costume pieces, scripts, photographs and more. A Grand Auction also takes place in which guests bid on prizes that often include walk-on roles in hit Broadway shows. Other highlights include a silent auction as well as a Celebrity Table, where prominent Broadway stars greet autograph-hungry fans. Participating stars will be announced at a later date. All proceeds from the event benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Last year's Grand Auction featured prizes including walk-on roles in The Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia!, In the Heights, Rock of Ages and Wicked as well as a meet and greet with Stephen Sondheim, dinner with Anthony Rapp, an autographed tank top worn by Daniel Craig, costume pieces worn by Brian d'Arcy James in Shrek, the chance to conduct The Phantom of the Opera and more. Broadway.com also participated by offering fans the opportunity to lick Susan Blackwell's face on camera for her series Side By Side By Susan Blackwell. The event raised $476,917.
