TO MARKET, TO MARKET
Who will buy? Apparently, a whole lot of people. The 21st annual Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction was held on Sunday, September 23 in Shubert Alley and along West 44th Street. Stars, gypsies, backstage workers, et al. helped raise a grand total of $559,810 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS by posing for photos, selling merchandise, and doing just about anything else that needed to be done. Here are some pics of this joyful event.
BC/EFA stalwart Peter Borzotta had tons of fab stuff to sell at a table set up right next to the Booth Theatre.
Andy Halliday, whom you may remember from his work in several of Charles Busch's hilarious shows, hawked snow globes.
Here's Avenue Q co-creator Robert Lopez, with wife Kristen and their adorable daughter Katie.
Broadway maven Seth Rudetsky (left) with Hunter Bell, one of the co-authors and stars of the brilliant [title of show].
The Drowsy Chaperone star Jo Anne Worley (right) with a very happy fan.
Two more Drowsy people: Troy Britton Johnson and Mara Davi.
A trio of cute, cuddly, Broadway Bears.
As is the case every year at the Flea Market, the photo booth was the best place for schmoozing with the stars. Among those on hand: the ever fabulous Marian Seldes, late of Deuce...
...Jersey Boys J. Robert Spencer and Daniel Reichard, dipping into some dessert between posing for photos...
...Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone) and David Hyde Pierce (Curtains)...
...Debra Monk, one of Pierce's comic cohorts in Curtains...
...Broadway vet Tony Roberts, now co-starring in Xanadu...
....the cheeky Mary Testa, also of Xanadu...
...Avenue Q alumnae Ann Harada and Stephanie D'Abruzzo...
...funnymen Jim J. Bullock (Hairspray) and Christopher Sieber (Spamalot).
