but for the rest of you brave souls... enjoy!

Posted: 2/9/06 at 2:45pmSo sad I was dying to see it.
So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Posted: 2/9/06 at 3:12pmI went Last night. Sat in Row H 110 Dead Center. This show was absolutely astonishing. I love the amazing score, phenomenal acting and state of the art technical achievments. I wish I could go again. It makes me sad that it is closing prematurely. I wish everyone could see it. Yes it has its flaws, but it's the best ALW has done in a while.

I hadn't heard this - I thought it was doing well?
If I show you the darkness I hold inside, will you bring me to light?

Its been dying, I was at least hoping for it to hang in till Tony time. I already missed Ball once, I was hoping he could be back in time, but alas Norman was good, don't mind seeing him again.
Its so sad. It will be terribly emotional hearing Maria singing All for Laura one last time. And her final "I close my eyes" will kill me on the spot

I have been to one closing performance once - The Boy From Oz, a show which began with bad reviews ( as WIW) but it eventually found its audience and thrived on word of mouth and the close bond among cast, crew, and producers - so it was one unforgettable, heady, and wonderful experience.
If I could ( I live in Asia), I would be at the closing performance of THE WOMAN IN WHITE. But I expect it would be a different emotional experience. For one, I would miss Michael Ball's role in making the dramatic musical such an appealing show. And I would probably feel that while the performers go through the motions, that there would be an underlying sadness because the show did not find its audience. It might be too sad!
But I hope the cast find new shows and happier times!

Is there a rush policy for WIW?
I saw on Ticketmaster that they have $25 tickets for the 2nd level, but there are none available for anyday next week. Are they just sold out or is the $25 ticket the rush price?
