Iconic Treasures of Broadway There is Broadway memorabilia that is so rare, so unique and invaluable, so outstanding that they stand alone. Here are four pieces from the past, each representing a landmark Broadway musical, signed by legends and, with those signatures, now a one-of-a-kind treasure of Broadway musical theatre history. Most fans could only see these under glass or from behind barricades in a library or museum. Each can be yours to hang and display, to share with your admiring friends with pride.

A. One-of-a-kind, handmade WIcked set model – where so much happened before Dorothy dropped in. Before exploding onto the stage of the Gershwin Theatre where Wicked has played to unprecedented acclaim for more than 6,230 performances on Broadway and on tour in scores of cities from coast to coast, Tony Award-winning designer Eugene Lee carefully built a “to scale” version of what he conjured as the remarkable world of Oz, but from a different angle. This delicate model of what would become the Tony-winning home of “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” can now have a magical, “popular” place of honor in your home “for good.” Forever Wicked.

B. Extremely rare drawing of Edwin Booth playing Hamlet as drawn by famed caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. One of the most acclaimed Shakespearean actors of the 19th century, Booth’s performance as Hamlet is often celebrated as one of the greatest. Signed by Mr. Hirschfeld, this portrait is number 109/150.

C. Dear Evan Hansen Prop Arm Cast Signed by Ben Platt and Original Broadway Company. “You Will Be Found” “Waving Through a Window” with this prop arm cast from Dear Evan Hansen signed by Tony Award winner Ben Platt. Worn onstage by Platt in a Dear Evan Hansen performance, the cast features the name “Connor” as written by Tony nominee Mike Faist and has been signed by the entire original Broadway acting company, including Tony winners Rachel Bay Jones and Mr. Platt. You can own, “For Forever,” this iconic piece of theatrical memorabilia from this hit, Tony-winning Best Musical. broadwaycares.org
