Because who doesn't like to share their Roger Bart Playbills and posters? Autographed or not. For the most part, we all saw Young Frankenstein in different places too, OBVZ the Playbill is gonna be different!
On top of that, I know some of us purchase vintage Playbills like they're crack, and Ebay is our dealer. So totes magotes share those too. Some people might not have seen the Playbill/Program where Roger Bart played Tobias in Sweeney Todd-- or when he was Mickey in Blood Brothers, etc.
So basically, you show us yours, we'll show you ours and all that naughty Rogerific good stuff.
And be sure to tell us if it's your Playbill you got in person when you saw the show, or if you're sneaky and bought it from someone else's collection just to complete your own!

I will start. Check out 23-ish year old Roger! I didn't get to see this when it was on tour, obvz. But my parents did! And I've been a BIG fan of Big River ever since I was old enough to listen to the casette tape my parents bought at the show. And I would have KILLED to see Roger as Tom Sawyer! Gahhh. But alas. I was only looking for a copy of this Playbill on Ebay, because I wanted it. I <3 the show AND Roger.. so I HAD to have it! I just happened to luck out, and managed to get my hands on an autographed one.

When I first met Roger Bart.. I goofily told him to sign my poster bigger than anyone else. He was like, "because I have the most lines?" and I was like, "psh! No! Because I love you and you're my favorite!" hahahaa. Needless to say, he did. XD (sorry for the bad quality)

*scream* ohh thank you, thank you SO much for posting this! I had been wondering if that picture of young Roger was real....I didn't know what to make of it when I saw it online, but now I can see where it comes from....so neat! Btw, wasn't Roger 25 in Big River? It's so unbelievable that your parents actually saw this show!! Roger's not on the cassette tape, is he? and I was like, "psh! No! Because I love you and you're my favorite!" hahahaa. AWWW!!! I would never have the guts to say something like that!

Yes, he did the tour in like '87 and '88-ish. That headshot is one of his first ones. It probably was taken a year or two earlier. I don't know for certain, though! And no, sadly, Roger isn't on the Original Cast Recording. I've been trying to find any audios or bootlegs, and I haven't had any luck! Booo. and I was like, "psh! No! Because I love you and you're my favorite!" hahahaa. AWWW!!! I would never have the guts to say something like that![/quote] I was unaware of whatever was coming out of my mouth. That's what my little brother told me I said. So I was like, are you serious?! Regardless, Roger was awesome. Before he had even finished signing my poster, I was like, "CANIHAVEAHUG?!" So I got a hug. And my little brother took a picture! and Roger started laughing and was like, "uh-oh, uh-oh! He's gonna take a picture!" I was like, "what?" So I have this retarded picture of me and Roger pulling out of a hug. It's kinda funny. XD

Where did you see it before? On some Facebook account, I think.. And no, sadly, Roger isn't on the Original Cast Recording. I've been trying to find any audios or bootlegs, and I haven't had any luck! Booo. aw I thought as much, him being a replacement and all...but yeah, how neat it would be to listen to such a young Roger.. I was unaware of whatever was coming out of my mouth. That's what my little brother told me I said. So I was like, are you serious?! Regardless, Roger was awesome. Before he had even finished signing my poster, I was like, "CANIHAVEAHUG?!" So I got a hug. And my little brother took a picture! and Roger started laughing and was like, "uh-oh, uh-oh! He's gonna take a picture!" I was like, "what?" So I have this retarded picture of me and Roger pulling out of a hug. It's kinda funny. XD Omg lol, so awesome... ;D

Sadly, I didn't get to see this. But I do have the Playbill that I cherish! ;D I believe Roger was like, 37 different characters? or something like that. Anyway. I took it to have Roger sign it, and he got excited when he saw it, and was like, "oh my god, I have to show this to Melina!" And he went to show it to his girlfriend. lol. <3 him. He's awesome.

And on another occasion, when I saw him in Chicago, I had him sign my YAGMCB Playbill. He said he hadn't seen one in a while. I don't know iif that's true or not.. but hey! And he signed it. And I noticed that he didn't draw the paw, like he did back when he WAS Snoopy, and I was like O_O And I KNEW that I had to say something, because it was then or never, and if he didn't draw the paw, my YAGMCB Playbill would be incomplete! So I mentioned it to him, and he laughed and acted shocked. He was like, "you remember that??" and he was happy to draw the paw-- and while he was doing that, I was like, "while you're at it, you can write To Lacey, <3 Roger". And he was like, "okay!" Chicago was probably the most epic meeting with Roger, conversation-wise. XD We talked about many things! and it was a blast! ps, WHOA. That is an epically sized picture of it! XD

You should get you some Playbills! Lol. if that's your thing. I collect Playbills from the shows I see, etc.. so.. I <3 them! And I don't want to be like those people who take a stack of things for an actor to sign, so I only take one with me, each time I go to see him. So usually, he'll sign my Young Frankenstein Playbill and another various one. ;D I was only going to have him sign my Fully Committed Playbill when I took it, and then he was like, "do you want me to sign your other one too?" in regards to my Young Frankenstein one. ;D So I was like, SURE!

Here are all of my Young Frankenstein Playbills. I saw it in New York, Chicago, Houston, and San Antonio. I have Playbills from L.A. and Toronto because I'm magic. They're not signed though. Sadly. (L to R: Chicago, Original Broadway Cast, Replacement Broadway Cast, Houston. 2nd row: L.A., Toronto, and San Antonio.) Here's a closeup of Chicago's. Notice how Cory English signed, "Nice Humpin' You!" and Brad Oscar wrote, "I'm the best!" Rofl. That was the best conversation ever. And they were being goofy! Here's a closeup of Houston's: Others: Then I saw Roger in The Producers in Kansas City, MO; and he wrote "welcome back!" : and then more magic:

I'm jealous!! Your lucky, you would have to be a dedicated fan to trvel from state to state and city to city. When I saw the Houston one I was like NO WAY!! Because I saw the commercials for the play and I told my mom ''We should go and see that!'' But we never did. When I watched the commercials for it I had no idea of who I was looking at but I DO NOW!! DARN IT!!
