Very well preserved music book sporting a handsome pictorial cover and a very sturdy blue spine. The only real fault is a small spine roll, but otherwise the book is clean and attractive inside and out. It measures 9"x12" and has 224 pages. Some selections are easily recognized such as The Blue Danube, The Merry Widow, and Tales From the Vienna Woods, while others await discovery. Among the composers you will find Schubert, Joseph Straus, and Oscar Straus, among many others. Small portraits and information about composers and selections scattered throughout. Measures 9"x12" and has 224 pages. View more info

Surprisingly scarce program published in honor of the 25th Independence Day Dance hosted by the North American Association of Venezuela. Clearly, this was a big event, as the ads in the program are largely national -- Chrysler has the back cover and Helena Rubenstein cosmetics has the flip side. Others inside include Ponds, Sears, Chevrolet, Elizabeth Arden and many more. The program is large at 9"x12" and has much information about the event itself, the liberation of Venezuela, and the ties that bind Venezuela to the United States. Illustrated with black and white photographs. The program is... View more info

Nice, clean oversized program which measures 9"x12" and is illustrated throughout with both black and white and color photographs. Pages are not numbered, but I counted 22, all filled with information about the Scots Guards, the Black Watch and the Regimental Band, as well as about the Highland dancing and the bagpipe. The program itself takes up a two page spread at center. Only faults are two light scratches to cover and a small bit of rubbing to bottom front corner next to spine. Pages show no writing or creasing. View more info

Nice color postcard which shows the fabulous Pier Dance Hall located on the shores of Lake Erie. In its day Geneva-on-the-Lake was a popular resort, the first of its kind in Ohio. In this daytime exterior view it's hard to imagine that the Big Band Era waited in the wings, but in the 40's it came to The Pier. The card is very nicely kept and was postmarked -- the first three digits are visible (193), but the last digit is hiding under the stamp. It was sent to Springfield, Ohio with a message that reads thus,"The waters are wonderful here. You would like it fine. How's your vacation coming. S... View more info

I don't buy too many patterns, but every once in awhile ... This one is for a square dance dress with a fancy bodice that flows down to the eight gore skirt. The instructions and pattern pieces are crisp and unused. They also retain their factory folds. The sizes and measurements are: Size Six 30'1/2, 23, 32-1/2"; Sixe Eight 31-1/2". 24, 33-1/2"; and Size 10 32-1/2",25,34-1/2". Original plastic bag was torn, so I have replaced it with a new heavy gauge one. Only visible fault is a notation about a dance coming up written by former owner at top of cover -- visible in photo one. ORDERS OUTSIDE ... View more info

This was an annual calendar designed and published by Dance Magazine for distribution to entities such as the School of Cleveland Ballet which could have their name printed on the final page for their own advertising. I have seen these before, but always missing at least one page. This one has all 12 and all are pristine. Each month shows a photo of a famous dancer along with a quote from each. The 1978 calendar aimed the spotlight on Alexandra Danilova, Natalia Makorova, Peter Martins, Edward Vilella, Vaslav Nijinsky, Louis Peres, Cynthia Gregory, Margot Fonteyn, Erik Bruhn, Martha Graham, Mi...

Do you hear strains of Barry Manilow warbling "At the Copa, Copacabana ..."? Yes, this Copa is THAT Copa. I must say though that I'm surprised at the rather folksy look of this advertising mailer. The Copacabana, after all, was noted for its sparkly, pink haired Copa Girls. They're here all right, but this time in a "gay review" titled How To Parry A Millionaire starring Betty & Jean Kean with Norman Brooks, The Dunhills, Jonathan Lucas and Herb Fields. This, too surprises me because everybody who was anybody sang there -- Harry Bellefonte, Peggy Lee, Danny Thomas, Dean Martin etc. etc.. Also ... View more info

Very nice booklet for an event which took place at the Sheraton Cleveland Hotel, Saturday, February 21, 1976. The booklet measures 5-1/2" tall and 8" wide with 68 clean tightly bound pages. The program lists a social hour, followed by dinner, a performance by "Jump", a Modern Dance Club from Chicago, and then dancing for everyone to Paul Burton's Orchestra.

The beautiful cover caught my eye, as did the plentiful photos of the dancers. This is not a program for a production. It's more of book celebrating 40 years of Balanchine's accomplishments and sponsored by the City Center of Music and Drama. The essay at the front is about the previous forty years of Balanchine's life as both a dancer and a director, but there is also no date. At first I thought it was 1988 because Balanchine took on the New York City Ballet in 1948. But I then noticed that he was still listed as a director. He died in 1983. Booklet measures 9" x 12" and has 41 counted pages... View more info

Outstanding cover design and lots of photos inside showing the various acts at the Moulin Rouge Fantastic. Some are in color, others in black and white, but both show the grandness of the show. The program is in French, but it isn't hard to get the gist. It's a very attractive keepsake from the legendary cabaret of Montmarte. The program is viewed vertically at first glance, but is turned horizontally to read it. It measures 8-1/2" x 10-3/4" and has 21 counted pages. Very clean and nice. (ENT.-2) View more info

Large program bound with quality golden cording. It measures 9" x 12" and is clean and bright inside. The cover is a bit toned around the edges and there are indications of nibbling to upper corners. I repaired them with archival tape which smooths it out and keeps the tiny chads from the abrasions to keep from tearing. Archival tape is non-browning and almost invisible. Inside there are full page photos of the Queen Mother, The Princess Margaret and others. But the focus is on the ballet and its dancers -- Alicia Markova, Yvette Chauvire, Youly Algaroff, Henning Kronstam, Kirsten Simone, Lu... View more info

Seller ID: 2542
Condition: Very good condition
I saw the word Playbill on the spine of the binder and had to have it, especially when I saw that the shows were older, from 1968 to the 80's. There are 14 programs in all, most of which are Playbills from the various New York City Broadway theaters, but there's also a couple from community theaters close by but outside the city, including Jones Beach. Some programs have ticket stubs stapled to them which is always a bonus. New York shows include The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie; Plaza Suite; 1776; Company; Sleuth; No, No Nanette; Annie; Peter Pan and more. Very nice find for a theater buff. View more info

This is a very nicely kept program. Had it not been folded in half vertically, as theater-goers tend to do, it would be perfect. I ironed it and put it in the book press and it's now completely flat. The program shows the seating diagram, and of course the cast of the narrative ballet, Romeo and Juliet, which was staged in one act. I checked out the list of performers and found Maria Tallchief in a lesser role. But a little research showed that at the time Tallchief, the first Native American ballerina, was dancing for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. This was very early in her career, but in ...

As you can see from the photo there are two programs here. The large one is the souvenir program sold at the performance which in this case was held September 28, 1972 at Public Auditorium via the Cleveland Opera Association (Ohio). The large program is gorgeous and features two ballets -- Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. There are pictures galore in both back and white and color. It measures 9"x12" and has 44 pages all on quality coated paper. The small local program measures 6-3./4" x 9-1/2" with 15 pages. View more info

Beautiful from its shiny metallic toe shoe on the cover to its 32 full-color pages of dancer photographs and bios. This is not a program, it's a souvenir of the 1984-85 season of the Cleveland Ballet. How impossible it is to believe that all these young dancers are 30 years older now! The souvenir is truly that -- a keepsake of a long gone season of magic Booklet is crisp and clean and beautifully cared for. View more info

Very nice, tightly bound and clean souvenir of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. There is no reference to the theatre or the dates. But on the last page it says S. Hurok Presents for 1966-67 a list of attractions, one of which is the Royal Winnipeg. Beautiful black and white photographs throughout, plus information about the cast. The premiere dancers are Christine Hennessy, Leo Ahonen, Sheila MacKinnon, Bill Martin-Viscount and Richard Rutherford. The booklet is over-sized at 8-1/4" x 12". Only fault is some rubbing to edges of back cover. View more info

This is a pretty picture and I have another one here showing her and Nureyev together in a new one-act ballet in 1963. Fonteyn was 43 and Nureyev was in his 20's. This picture also shows her role of Marguerite, only by herself. The dance was titled Marguerite and Armand. The card will arrive in a brand new mylar. View more info

Very handsome travel guide explains the many arts -- dance, theatre, ballet, music, art, opera and cinema to delight the audience. There are many black and white photographic stills of dancers and actors. The program measures 9-1/4 x 12" and has much information. The two Festivals were founded in 1958 by Gian Carlo Menotti to be held in June and July. Soleto is a beautiful place, set like a diamond in the Umbrian Hills.The program is clean and nicely kpt. The only defect is a small loss of paper at the top and lower spine. I repaired it with Jpanese paper. View more info
