Good point about the writing, it was pretty bad at times. Hated her boyfriend in the show, he was so lame."

 

Haha Dev was the absolute worst! Followed closely by Jimmy in s2.

They were collectively nominated for the Olivier Awards but I don’t know if the Tony Awards would bend their rules to allow that.

You guys have already posted a lot of my fave moments of the night, but it was an incredible And emotional evening. The energy in the room was insane. I teared up the moment Kat/Jenna started her first “Dear Baby” and didn’t really stop weeping until the end.

In What’s Inside there was a big crash as I think someone in the ensemble dropped smtg which made everyone laugh and was a real ice breaker for the cast I think. And then kat was laughing as she sang “what a mess I’m making” because at that point the ensemble were accidentally or deliberately drenching her with flour, haha!

Kat accidentally throwing the dough out the bowl in WBCD and casually walking round the station to pick it up whilst still singing flawlessly was a funny and awesome moment, as was when she just stopped speaking during “my momma used to say” because she thought she’d messed up and then ad libbed with “as I was saying” because saying it again. Then Drew ad libbed with “she’s a smart lady” haha!!

The love in the room for Stephanie Torns was amazing to see, from her standing o when she came on as Francine Pomatter, to Kat going straight to her to share her closing bow with her, which was maybe my fave moment of the entire show, and v classy and selfless of kat.

Caitlin getting a standing o after “When He Sees Me” causing her to sob on stage was another highlight!

Chris Fitzgerald kissing Benny on the mouth stopped the show also because Benny totally wasn’t expecting it lmao.

I could keep going, but Kat and the rest of the cast just gave an amazing performance all round. The final scenes with Dr P and Jenna hit really hard when Drew said “so this is goodbye” and kat said “thanks for taking me to the moon, moon pie” - I’ve always loved how kat says that line In the show and it was extra poignant obviously this time - and kat pretty much losing it when she says “name a pie for me when I’m gone” was just the final straw for me.

And the speeches were beautiful, especially with it ending with an audience rendition of Everything Changes, led by Sara. Sara and her crew have put their heart and soul into this show and you could really tell, with all the outpouring of love in the room. It’ll be missed on Broadway

THANKS FOR TAKING ME TO THE MOON, MOON PIE

Wow this all reminds me of Heathers when Barrett left that production really abruptly, with no explanation ever given as to what went down. Still no idea what really happened. I know with MG everyone’s speculating based on speculation, but to leave (if she has left MG) 2 shows mid contract abruptly feels like it could be a pattern.

Aida is one I listen to frequently. 

Oh no, hope she’s okay 

A bit random, but I’ve always thought ‘The House Bunny’ would make a good musical! 

I had a great time when I saw this last year in the west end. Took my ma who is a huge Tina fan! Adrienne Warren is just superb. I agree with some people about the book being weak - parts of the script certainly felt a bit clunky to me, but for me the energy and the songs outweighed any quibbles about that. 

Saw ‘&Juliet’ last night and it was the most fun I’ve had at a show in a long time - I’d highly recommend it. Came out with a huge smile on my face. It’s only just started London previews but I can see it becoming a huge word of mouth hit.
