110 in the Shade closing this weekend!

I can't believe this show is closing! I'm so glad that the public got to experience the phenomenon that is Audra, along with a stellar supporting cast.

Is anyone going to the last performance?

Will be there as well... then heading over for last "BATB" (

so many shows are closing!! a sad weekend for broadway...

Yep.... so sad, all on same day !

Jordan.... check your PM--- If you CAN make it to "BATB" - Sunday, final show--- I might have extra ticket-

That show is going to be amazing !!

Does anyone know if there will be rush (either regular or student) for the last performance?

I haven't heard that there WON'T be. My guess is probably so since it's not an "unscheduled" closing I doubt they'd get the pissy attitude the shows that do have "unscheduled" closings seem to. But I haven't been since last Friday.

Testing...got it and PMed you back.

"Of the 4 shows going out this weekend, 110 is the only one I will truly miss."

I totally feel the same -

This show, for me, was so unexpected. I know it's an old musical, and even though it wasn't really flashy or trendily modern, it was perfect and timeless the way it is. I had such high expectations for Audra, and she exceeded them so quietly and confidently. A big surprise for me was also how strong the supporting cast was - especially Steggert, Collum, and Kazee.

It's nice to know good shows still come to Broadway, even though they might not be blockbusters.

I can't wait to see it again tomorrow night...I did TDF again, I was lucky last week to get orchestra seats that way...I have a feeling I won't be so lucky this time

I saw 110 last night & it was just as amazing as I remembered it. Price was there (with a cast on his right wrist, does anyone know what happened?), and the cast was GREAT.

Kazee was FANTASTIC, he wins the Most Improved Award for the year. When I saw the show in previews I did not like him at all. Not at all. But last night he really impressed me.

Audra's a Goddess & one of the nicest people ever. Nothing else to say about her.


... as for the tickets, I called about the "splash seats" & they're sold out for the rest of the weekend. I asked if they would be having rush tickets over the weekend & they said no (which is why I bought some IMMEDIATELY for last night), if anyone is on the fence about seeing this show, GET OFF & BUY TICKETS NOW!!!!

In what ways has Steve Kazee improved? He was excellent when I saw him in May -

Too bad. It was very good

Would love to have a video of this over any of the other shows closing 7/29

I'm not going to the last performance, but I saw it tonight for the first time. Someone gave me tickets and they were 5th row center. Woohoo!

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Christine Ebersole's performance in Grey Gardens and I was almost equally wowed by Audra tonight. Just extraordinary. I will say that it took me a little while into the first act to engage with her, but the second half of the first act and the second act were brilliant.

I had previously seen Audra in Master Class and Marie Christine and, of course, her tv stuff, but none of that even compared to 110.

I also thought Kazee was outstanding.

I thought the whole piece was exceptional. I'm so glad I got a chance to see it.

I probably don't need to tell you that the audience went wild for Audra at the end. Probably par for the course.

Steve likes to change his Melisande a little every night. If something works well he usually does the same thing but then changes something else. I love him in that song though.... Well I think he is great in the entire show but he really gets to play in that song and I love that he really does. He could easily just do the same exact thing every night but he changes it up and makes it fun to watch. I didn't see him in previews but the past 2 months he has been wonderful and changes lil things here and there but always wonderful.
