The outdoor sale of Broadway memorabilia, along with an auction, raffles, autograph events and more, was held Sunday afternoon on its traditional West 44th Street location and (for the first time) into the Times Square pedestrian plaza on Broadway between West 43rd and 44th Streets.

There were 67 tables of rare and unique Broadway memorabilia, more than five dozen celebrities at the Autograph Table & Photo Booth and 203 lots up for bid in live and silent auctions.

The inaugural edition of the event in 1987 raised $12,000. This year's total was up $70,000 over last year.

The 25 editions of the Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction, which is produced by and benefits Broadway Cares, have raised a grand total of $9,185,327.

"It's wonderful to see so many Broadway Cares supporters and theatre fans from all over the country, and exhilarating to witness such extraordinary efforts by New York's theatre community — from Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, unions, guilds, theatre offices and other theatre-related businesses — who work so hard in the weeks leading up to this event," said Tom Viola, executive director of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, in a statement. "We all come together to sell and auction an amazing array of incredible, hand-crafted, silly, hard-to-find, tasty, remarkable and one-of-a-kind treasures, experiences, memorabilia and just plain 'stuff,' all in an effort to help Broadway Cares fund hundreds of vital social services organizations. It truly confirms that we can care for one another — and have a heck of a good time doing it!" This year, the 67 tables of the Broadway Flea Market collectively raised $273,886 and represented nearly every show on Broadway and several Off-Broadway shows, as well many organizations within the theatrical community.

The top 10 tables raising the most money this year were: Wicked with $15,367; Follies with $14,819; TDF with $11,635; Broadway Beat with $10,580; The Phantom of the Opera with $9,313; The Book of Mormon with $9,229; How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying with $9,192; Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark with $7,697; United Scenic Artists Local 829 with $7,346 and War Horse/Lincoln Center Theater with $7,217.

The Grand Auction portion of the day included both live and silent auctions, as well as instant-experience "flash auctions," which were new this year.

The live auction included 63 "lots" and raised $201,500. The top-selling lot was a day at The Phantom of the Opera, including a walk-on role in the Broadway show with special costumes and make-up, which went for $10,500 to two bidders, raising $21,000 for Broadway Cares.

Other top live auction items included:

A one-of-kind photograph of the late Elizabeth Taylor taken by Rivka Katvan backstage during the 1981 production of The Little Foxes, one of her only two Broadway performances, raised $10,000. It was autographed by the acting legend exclusively for Broadway Cares shortly before her death earlier this year.
