Wow, amasis, I was wondering if anyone around here had seen it. Anything else you can tell us about it?
Well, it has been a while... The most electrifying moment must have been when Heather struggled to finish that last line in EL reprise. She sang "I just want to be with you..." and couldn't continue. Adam was looking at her, and she just cried and cried. And then you hear this woman in the audience (who we found out later was Heather's mother) yelled, "Finish strong!!" and Heather pulled it together and sang her last line. But in that moment when she was struggling - it was really intense.
There were a couple of moments like that... At the end of 'Dance of the Robe', the cast applauded Heather (they tapped the floor as they were bowing) and Heather shook her head quickly, as if asking them to stop, but they went on and she cried. She cried a lot that night.
Gods Love Nubia was also insane. Schele Williams started crying the second she tried to sing her lines and Heather took her arm and rubbed it. This happens every show (that Aida and Nehebka held hands for a few moments) but Heather didn't let go for a long time at this show.
*Edit: Oh, I just remember something else. You know the museum scene at the end, right when Radames and Aida walks toward each other and realize they've met before? On this show as they were walking toward each other Heather sort of shook her head at Adam (I think she says later that she said to Adam, "It's over."), and instead of finishing up the scene as usual, they just grabbed and hugged each other. And there were lots of flashes going off then, but no death stare.
