Saw the matinee this afternoon and it was an amazing afternoon of theater! Phenomenal performances all around. Loved Ben Levi Ross as Evan in DEH, and he really shines as Nick. The choreography, set, staging and lighting are superb. We were handed a pamphlet/program with an insert containing the current musical numbers. Really wish there was a soundtrack to listen to!
Act 1:

Miss Saigon! All the individual panels that ringed the stage and were raised and lowered...all the set pieces that glided in and out...and the Fall of Saigon scene was incredible, with the helicopter being the cherry on top :)

Seems odd to me that Garten wouldn't do the final two performances. The Sat. matinee wasn't the "final" matinee...today's performance was a matinee."
He was actually in the final 3 performances....both shows yesterday and today's finale.

The show was spectacular and it was an amazing experience to be there to say goodbye to this gem.
Yes the audience was given special hats with todays date and "Waving Goodbye to Broadway".
There was no special program.
Tons of alum were there, as well as the whole creative team.

So sad to hear this. Taking the pandemic into account, it only ran for about 16 months.
I know many think this show has run its course, but to us superfans it feels like the sad reality of the Broadway end is a little closer now (though grosses seem to be holding their own at the moment).
I feel that the movie is to blame to a large degree. It was such an abomination. And for people who saw it, even if they enjoyed it, likely don't feel the need to spend the money to see it in person since they probably feel they have already "seen" it.

Is that a decent location for a seat? The floor tickets are off to the side (and more expensive) so I figured center was better even if it was up high? Please correct me if I am wrong on that."
In my opinion you are totally correct in going with center mezz. For a first viewing this

Wow - what a night! Jordan - as was the whole cast - was absolutely phenomenal! He did things vocally with For Forever that I had never heard before. And his acting was of course superb. I'll have specifics tomorrow when I can get my head wrapped around everything. For people wondering about whether they would add one of the new songs from the movie - no that didn't happen. The show is exactly as was pre-pandemic.
Opening speeches were given by producer Stacey Mindich and d

This week has been a killer, with anticipation building each day, and now the day is finally here I can't believe it! I know many people enjoyed the movie, and I'm happy for them, but it was overall a disappointment for me and I really need this to help cleanse me of the movie experience. Can't wait to see Jordan and I'll have a full report :)

Hard to take this seriously when he writes that Evan ends up with Zoe, which is just untrue. Did he even watch the movie or just read other reviews?

So glad I’ve seen it for free.
It’s everywhere. Karmic intervention, I suppose."
Just curious:
1. Since you said "...even more repulsive...as a film" I assume you saw the stage show and didn't care for it - is that cor
