Hundreds of theater buffs packed Shubert Alley in the Theater District Sunday, not to see a Broadway show but to get their hands on a piece of one.

“Everything: posters, signed posters, signed CDs –just beautiful pieces of memorabilia,” said theater-goer Valerie Turnerpolishook. "If you love Broadway, you'll love this.”

“You get to keep it forever. It's always there, brings back the happy memories of seeing it live,” said theater-goer Virginia Bolten.

The 22nd annual Broadway Flea Market took over the Great White Way for the day, with more than 70 vendors offering T-shirts, playbills and many items autographed by cast members. Fans could also purchase costumes and props.

“I got a minotaur costume,” said fan Jordan Sternbach.

“Some customers are looking for certain items,” said vendor Jeff Johnson. “If they've seen the show, ‘Oh, God, I love that hat,’ or the wings is a big item, or even the toadstools.”

Proceeds from the flea market and the grand auction go to the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

For $10, fans got their pictures taken with daytime television and Broadway stars, like actor Rebecca Luker from “Mary Poppins,” who has been involved with Broadway Cares since its inception.

“It's one of the only organizations like it that started out raising money for this cause and they've raised more money every year, I believe, if you look back at the records,” said Luker. “I believe they raise millions every year and it's all done with sweat and hard work and tears and creativity and love, so I'm committed to it.”

The flea market has grown more popular in recent years, attracting a core following from all over who turn out to take home a piece of Broadway memorabilia.

“I try not to miss this event at all,” said theater-goer Mary Taub.

“We're big Broadway fans, so we've almost sort of made it this thing between us and our daughter that whatever show we've seen that year we would buy some sort of memorabilia from it,” said theater-goer Pearl Caruso.

Over all, fans called the event a hit.
