Ryan has Joanne and I have Johnny. That's absolutely adorable.
Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

Ah, 20-20 Hindsight...

S'alright, Mamie often refers to Kerrie as Kerry, then I always do a double check for John Kerry lurking around, although Kerrie does look like a man and loves to flip flop, quite suspicious hehe re: The Official Greg Jbara Love Thread, Part 4! *Witty Title Forthcoming*

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

I'm so sad I missed Joanna's last cam.

I just listened to "What Was A Woman To Do?" and cried. I'm a sad sad soul tonight.

this is what ILoveWicked330 said on the "goodbye Joanna" thread:

"I was at the show today not knowing it was her last show. I did the lotto. The box seats were HORRIBLE. I had the 1st box on the right but the back 2 seats & I literally couldn't see anything. At intermission I moved to empty seats in the 2nd row center of the orchestra! At curtain call, the producer came out and made a short speech about how she created the role and how it was built around her. Then they gave her a poster that said "Goodbye Joanna! There will never be another con like you". Then Greg made a speech about how she is an amazing person on and off stage and he would always look forward to coming to work just to see her. She was crying. I waited at the stage door for alittle after. Norbert came out, signed for afew people and ran. I'm 99% sure Joannas' limo was there and was told to go to another exit because the stage door guy said to the driver "Rachel? Rachel Yorks driver? No? Joanna?" & then went and spoke to him and the car drove away. Not like it matters or anything but yeah. Great time- 2nd time seeing the show and it was still going strong."

I love you Barb.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. I even sidestepped a question Ryan asked me about Joanna that I really didn't wanna answer at least at the time, so I honestly said that I know nothing about that and Joanne.

Sounds like a great show, I had a feeling Greg would make a speech; I bet it was awesome. I want more comments/details! I can imagine how adorable Like Zis/Like Zat was tonight.

But it was a great night for Wicked--I was having an emotional weekend so the themes in the show were great. Derrick is still without a doubt my favorite non-Norbert Fiyero. The only one since that made me buy both sides of his character, liking Elphaba and Glinda, etc. Megan, who I haven't seen in months, has only gotten better, really putting her own stamp on the part. She was just fantastic. And Carol Kane...plays the part like Rue but obviously is a big improvement. Still, I don't understand why the producers want it more "drunken"ly play. I loved the way Carol Shelley played it. God, no one will ever replace her.

And Eden...I mean if I say I like other Elphabas better, it's not to say I didn't really like her just if you're directly comparing. She kept singing defying "grevity" and it was a pretty voice but it was really annoying me! Her Wizard and I was definitely better than Shoshana's, who I remember being weaker, but Sho's No Good Deed was better. What I will say for Eden is I think she had the best balance of innocence, strength, and anger of any Elphaba since Idina. Shoshana seemed a bit more innocent, and Saycon definitely angrier. Eden handled both well, surprisingly, I would have thought she would have been more on the innocent side too, great laugh.

If anyone cares, I decided to rank my Elphabas because I have too much freetime:

Idina, Stephanie Block(I loved her!), Shoshana/Saycon(tie), Eden

And as I walked out I saw someone who might have been Geena Davis...I figured not, until she turned to the side and I saw the mole..it had to be have been her re: The Official Greg Jbara Love Thread, Part 4! *Witty Title Forthcoming*

I think the box seats are great too. To each their own I suppose.

Regarding Joanna's last show, Laura mused on Friday that even when she (Laura) is gone, there will be new people to make friends with. To that I said, you can never forget the people who made everything so special in the first place. So therefore, we must never forget Joanna and John.
