“We’ve weathered gray skies, been sprinkled on or even covered up for a few minutes of downpour, but never in the history of the Broadway Flea Market have we had such dire weather predictions,” said Tom Viola, BC/EFA Executive Director. “Our main concern is the safety, health and comfort of BC/EFA’s many friends participating in the Flea Market and Grand Auction and, of course, that of thousands of supporters and theatre fans. I hope you will join us at Roseland.”

Previously planned to be held in Shubert Alley, the event will now take place indoors at Roseland and is free and open to the public. From posing with your favorite Broadway and Daytime stars for photos, to buying that lost cast recording, signed show posters and Playbills, rare costume sketches or special gift for a theatre-lover you can’t find anywhere – this year’s BROADWAY FLEA MARKET & GRAND AUCTION promises to offer something for everyone.
