Well, it sounded like a lot of people needed some cheering up. I was just trying to get people focused on something positive.

Well, the thought of spanking Adam certainly got my attention diverted quickly!
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2. "unleash the girly"

*sigh*
Normally I love this guy, but I'm feeling a bit ticked off about his attitude. He really ought to have just sucked it up and signed stuff for people there, it's the last night. We all have to do things we don't like sometimes, and it's not like signing autographs is difficult. And there's no need to interrupt the show by rolling his eyes when people take pictures. Grow up and deal, Adam.
Sorry if I'm bitchy, but I'm not in the mood for any **** right now and when I read that stuff about him it made me feel like, 'your life is not that bad, just get over the little things'. (And this has nothing to do with his personality, but that after-party outfit was ick. My grandfather may have a similar suit... but Deborah is beautiful.)

yeah i agree. oh well. i probably would have been pissed off if people were taking pictures during the most emotional scene in the show.

i was gota tiny bit angry when i was in les mis. during the 'finale' or during 'on my own' everyone would take pictures and it really distracted me. i just went with it and tried to stay in character.

Insomniak - in person, Adam actually looked wonderful after the show. And Deborah is STUNNING.
I'm not really sure what to say about Adam, though. Whatever happened last night doesn't make me think any less of him, because I love him to bits no matter what, because of his talent more than anything else, and last night that was there in full force. I honestly think that he was really emotional, and being distant was probably the way he was handling it. Love you, Adam!

Yes, he did look really great afterwards in his suit. Pictures don't always tell the whole story, no matter how good they may be, and yes, I know, some of you only have pictures to go by. I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about that.
Having never performed in anything, I can only imagine how distracting all those flashes were to them up on stage. They were distracting enough just being in the audience. Growing up and dealing with it is not the issue. Flashes going off shouldn't have been an issue at all. There shouldn't have been any!

When a couple went off sporadically in the first act, I saw ushers going down the aisles, but I didn't see them get anyone. With the amount that started going off later on, forget it. There would have had to have been one usher for every 10 people in the audience.

It was absurd. I really did feel bad for Adam... that the last time he was going to do the most emotional scene in the show. Poor guy.

Fair enough, we are all just complaining about the flashes from the audience (which annoyed me BIG TIME as well) but where I was sitting the picture taking by the cast was very distracting as well. They were taking pictures (with flashes) non stop at the sides of the stage! So maybe Adam should give s***t to his colleagues too.

Ok, I am finally posting my thoughts about it. Last night I couldnt bring myself to doing it. I got home, went back out, then straight to bed to mop and mourn. I give you such credit for doing it last night Emcee. I know how hard it was for you too.
Yesterday was such an unbelievable surreal day for me. I have never been to a closing, so I did not know what to expect. All I knew was that it would be something I would remember forever. And it was. I have never been to more emotional, intense, and electrifying show in my life. Every song, dance, scene, action and moment was absolutely wonderful. It is almost indescribable for me. There were no adlibs, or added things into the show as some people might have expected. But i was glad at this fact. It is such an emotional show that I feel anything of that sort could possibly have taken away from it.
--I am not sure how to review the show (i.e going through the scenes or critiqing the actors, so bare with me)--
Everyone has shows that hold special places in their hearts. Momentous shows. RENT was the first Cast Recording I fell in love with. CABARET was the first Broadway show I saw. And yes even WICKED, for it was the first show I saw without knowing anything about it, and came out really liking it. But AIDA always held a unique place in my heart. I bought the OBCR because I knew Adam was on it, and never expected to end up loving it. But I slowly started listening to the songs that Adam was in, and began to fall in love. And once I saw it live it was wonderful.
Last night was no exception. The curtain rose and the audience went wild. Deborah came out, the audience went wild. Then Adam, then Lisa turned around. Every moment was fully appreciated and aknowledged. I tried to etch every thing in to my memory and take everything in.
Lisa's voice is so amazing. When she sings her voice fills the theatre without effort. She looks at ease on stage, and its truely a pleasure to watch. Everystory was flawless and got a great applause after, which sadly is overlooked because of it flowing into Fortune. Strongest Suit was so enjoyable. The audience clapped along with the beat during the fashion show, the ensemble members truely gave it there all during that and had so much fun. I Know the Truth was hauntingly good. And was at the point I realized it was truely over. Her acting was impecable. It is great to see her grow from My strongest suit to the end where she finally steps up to the plate. I agree with whoever said that if it wasnt for her and her character I would be sobbing throughout the entire show.
Deborah's vocals were better than I have ever heard her do before. She really went all out for the closing. It seems like all her previous perfomances were building up to this last and final one. Her "The Past is Another Land" was so powerful. It was a song that I always listened to on the CD but never realized its potential until hearing it done yesterday. It is another song that is often not aknowledged by the audience because the dialogue comes so quickly after the end of the song, but again yesterday it was met but a thounderous applause. Her vocals only got stronger as the show continued. Dance of the Robes was stunning and was met but a well deserved standing ovation that lasted a good amount of time. The Gods of Nubia was again flawless and powerful. (it was also a pleasure to see Shele Williams sing it for the final show being that she was an Orignial cast member)This song was again met by a standing ovation, which continued as the houselights were brought up for intermission. EAL. Wow. I feel so repetitive, but she did a splendid job with this. I have always criticized her for the lack of emotion she showed on the Elaborate Lives reprise. I have no complaints now. It was so emotional and powerful and exactly how it should be done. Her acting was good. She has and will always be a singer more than an actress. But she has grown so much in the role and really nailed.
Adam was in supurbe form. He is nothing if not consistant! His Fortune Favors the Brave was excellent and has so much energy, from him and the ensemble(I was so glad at the applause they recieve when first coming out during Fortune). The raspiness of his voice was there, though seemed to be toned down, which i found unusual, nonetheless, great. EPT, besides the "note" was such a pleasure to watch. Deborah got a great applause when she told him off and gave him the hand that i was afraid that I would be able to hear if he hit the not or not! Elaborate Lives was so memorable. Adam and Deborah's voices blend so beautifully together. Like Father, is always a pleasure to watch because it is perfect for Adam. His range, his style, everything. The raspiness was there in full force for that song and was excellent. Radames Letter was so touching. It still amazes me how much emotion he can portray with his voice, and is great to hear him sing in his falsetto. He has grown so much as an actor since he left the show. I credit CABARET for that. And there is so much more growing he can do that once he reaches his full potential it will be wonderful.
Everything about the show was perfect that night. It really hit me that it was closing when i saw The Eye of Horase (sp?) lift for act 2 to begin. That is when I knew, truelly, that once they stop performing that is IT. During the first Act, you got a break and knew that you would go back to your seat and see more. But this was not the case for the second Act. As soon as they finished what they had to do it was done. It was hard to handle. Like Emcee said, I shut down my emotions too. Something I do quite often for "big" things like this.
For those of you who are still reading - i realize that i wrote an extremely long post but i felt it needed to be done to do it justice - the show was so well done. The entire cast gave 150% of everything they had. I felt honored to be there.
