To Those Of You Attending The Final WOTV Tonight...

Please don't scream. I know you're excited to be there and you love Patti. I know you want Laura to hear you scream and shout and acknowledge your existence when you scream at the top of your lungs after she finishes singing or she enters onstage. However, as much as you love to do it, it makes the actors on stage and everyone around you want to punch you through your skull.

So in summary, please enjoy the show tonight. I know I will. But please refrain from
Talking
Texting
Shouting
Screaming
Hootin'
Hollerin'

and anything that you think maybe somehow just might piss someone around you or two levels up off.

Thank you for your time and enjoy the show.

My comment to you made sense. Yours to me did not.

Saw the final matinee. High energy on stage and in the audience.
Patti was visibly sad at curtain, hugging and clutching onto Laura.
I really think the show deserved a better rub. At least we are likely getting a cast recording!!

I was there too, ljay! It was my first time seeing the show and I loved it! The energy was electric and the cast was clearly having a ball. Danny Burstein mentioned in the opening number that the performance was being taped for the Lincoln Center archives, but I didn't see any cameras.
I wish I could see it again, but I'm glad I got to go today!!!

On 12/30 Laura was crying at curtain and holding on to Patti when the scrim came down.

There was a lot of love from the audience, especially after Model Behavior & Invisible (deservedly).

Hopefully, we'll see a LuPone/Benanti HELLO DOLLY soon enough.

There are reports that the cast of WOTV will be going into studio to record the cast album on Jan 17. No label is attached as yet.

I'd be shocked if Ghostlight/Sh-K-Boom doesn't do it.

TAKE PICTURES OF PATTI!!!


Oh, and the show curtian.

Intermission now. Great energy in the theater tonight with a very long extended applause for Laura after "Model Behavior".

It still is not back on Ghostlight's website.

I can only imagine what the energy must be like!
Should be a great final show, and a great final curtain call.

I bet there will be extended applause after 'Invisible' as well.

This will be a performance to remember - I wish i was there.

Did no one ever upload a pic of the show curtain? Here's a crappy pic I took a few weeks ago, then:

WOTV has my vote for the best show curtain ever.

Valium gazpacho. Yum.

Oy. Laura started crying so I started crying then my friend started crying.

Really a great show and I'm genuinely sad to see it go.

Well, the person sitting next to me didn't seem to have gotten the memo, unfortunately, although things calmed down considerably as the show went on (thank goodness).

Wonderful performances tonight, a great night at the theater. Did anyone see David Yazbek? I assume he was there by what Danny Burstein said, but I didn't actually see him.

David Yazbek (and Bartlett Sher) were in and out of the stagedoor after the matinee. So I assume they were at both performances.

Thanks, ljay, I'm sure you're right. Sher came out of the stage door after tonight's performance (as did Jeffrey Lane and Christopher Gattelli), but I don't think Yazbek did. But I'm sure he was there if he was there this afternoon and Danny Burstein was joking with him while he was on stage. Does Danny Burstein always ad lib stuff in the opening number, or has he only been doing it this week?

Some guy in the mezzanine at the evening show kept shouting "Pepa!" at the end of each Sherie scene/song. Yet when he shouted in applause at other cast members, he used their names (ex: Patti) as opposed to their characters (Lucia). He does know that Sherie's name isn't actually Pepa, right?

I was there and remained the model of decorum until Patti took her curtain call.
