*breaks out tissues*
Just to add, that cheeky grabbing by Norbert to John after Schuffhasen isn't new. He did it two weeks ago and John's reaction was the same too. Still hillarious. They always added new quirks to their characters their whole time through together.
Other transition highlights I have caught from those two scoundrels:
John slapping Norbert on the rear after Ruprecht
Norbert strangling John after Ruprecht
Norbert crying in John's lap after the Reckoning
Those two were just so funny together...gosh now its over...
Just watched the speech.. I am NOT crying..............
Ok, yes I am.
Thanks so much to all of you who were there tonight for reporting back to us. Sounded amazing.
EDIT: Off to sleep now. 'Nite, all.

Aww look at Norbert being all adorable and short...
And John being all tall and adorable...
Wow Dre didn't realize how many times the whole night we "awwwed." Heh and you can hear my little claps for Fred, Jan and Patrick...and my Yankee fan scream
glad my videos were alright. I'll put pictures up tomorrow. too tired now and internet is crappy with me right now. and my dog is snoring which does not help. lol.
Something clicked and I remembered a teeny more of the end of his speech. Edited, but yeah it was the first chorus of DRN-every chapter has to end, you must agree. It was a joy, it was sublime, a splendid way to earn a dime...and something like and all these people know at heart I will always be a dirty rotten guy.
He also said, "You may be wondering why I would ever want to leave this role and this family." and his reply using the music and script was priceless. John Lithgow was Lawrence in every shape, way, and form.
BTW Wouldn't it be funny if John now lurked on this thread on cam day?
that would be funny!
Finally finished reading through your guys posts about the show. I'm all teary eyed now. Loved your pictures Ryan, and I'm about to watch the videos Dre, though I'm afraid I'll need more Kleenex.
Thank you so much for sharing all this guys, it means a lot to those of us who couldn't be there.
hey no problem. glad my camera was put to good use. and it was fun to talk about it. and remember it all over again.
Hey, my long posts are usually complained about, it's very nice to have them so appreciated Traci
Oh and see I keep remembering little tidbits, one thing reminds me of another...also I forgot Joe was telling me they have a rehearsal tomorrow w/ Jonathan b/c they're changing quite a few things. I asked if it was Jonathan dancing b/c he's a great dancer and he said not that he could think of he doesn't think it's dancing, but it won't be huge changes, but there will be little things here and there and I'm one of the few people he could say there'll be quite a bit changes to b/c I'm one of the few people that would definitely notice every single one I'm excited to go back now, will be nice to see some lines I don't mouth with. I love Joe!
See Dre, that's why I like making the long posts. Seriously I know the night's not really over b/c I get to come home and type all about it and relive it, also helps me to remember stuff b/c I might have forgotten some stuff tomorrow but I wrote it so I can read it and relive it, you know? And I mean that's why I absolutely love the videos, and our noise.
I love your long posts Panda
I just watched the videos Dre and they made me cry. Thank you so much for posting them.
And now I'm off to put on Chapstick and read more Harry Potter. lol
That sounds interesting Amanda! I can't wait to see what changes will be made. Of course I think I will take a little DRS break until Norbert is back for sure and I have recharged. So...two weeks?
*shrug* I'm going w/ my mom the end of January, THAT is going to be an interesting night. At least Greg, Laura, and Joe are excited to meet her. I wonder how Kevin will act towards me w/ my mother there...
I hope you have a wonderful time and that Kevin is playful but restrictive.
thanks everyone for all the reviews pictures and videos of John's last show, kind of makes it easier on those of us too far away to see it :)
It sounds like an amazing night, glad you all had fun and I'm glad John went out with a bang! And of course Andrew!
Oh and yey! for Greg's entrance applause too!
Em
ps loving the new thread!

I do love your long posts too, Amanda.
I haven't seen John's video yet because I had to go to work (I am working ritght now as well ...well, I am having my break, ya know) but I saw the Andrew video and I must say Dre or Amanda I don't which of you was the main holler but I loved your reactions.
Traci: I can hardly wait your/my gif on Wednesday
Amanda: ...and I hope you'll share every tiny changed detailles you will notice, right?
God I will miss John, but I am optimistic about the future.
Wow, I used at least 3 or 4 smiley gift and 2 hours ago I used 5 tissues...thank God my eyes aren't red now.
Haha Annie, Dre was the louder "holler," I think her loudest one was for the announcement of DHP. I was the one constantly going "awwww." Though in John's video, I'm the one screaming for the Yankees, still not as loud. My throat was hurting a bit too, but still I don't know if I'm capable of screaming as loud as she was. Props to Dre.
Of course, you know I love giving every little detail
aww thanks. I guess i do scream a little loud but I was in the moment. and I was the closest one to the camera since i was holding it. But you were good at shouting and screaming too amanda, don't sell yourself short.
And yet I was so quiet....
