I can only answer in the words of the boring prophet:
"There shall in that time be rumors of things going astray, erm, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight O'clock. "

I don't know.
I'm an old fart, but I was a big fan. I saw the film when it first came out.
I went to see the City Center show in NYC in April 1976. Met the troupe. Got autographs from Graham, Eric, Terry Jones, Michael and John. Carol Cleveland, Terry Gilliam and Neil Innes walked by, but I had to "prioritize" and didn't get theirs. I'm sure they weren't offended by that!
I was a snotty-faced 14 year old boy. So the guys were not unfriendly, but not terribly interested in me. My Sister reminds me that Eric had two drop-dead gorgeous women with him. it would be another few weeks - literally - before I discovered girls. We didn't mature so fast back then!
John Cleese stuck around for a while and chatted. The others didn't. Again, I can't blame them, but John went out of his way to be nice. I hope I meet him again, to say thanks.
:)
PS I don't know what happened to the autographed Playbill. Oh well. The memory is priceless!
