So today was Tony Yazbek's last show. The entire cast was emotional. During "What I Did for Love" paractically everyone on stage was in tears. Even Michael Berresse had tears running down his cheeks the first time he said "What do you do when you can't dance anymore." I was even getting teared up. It was so sad.
Other than that, Michelle Aravena was in as Diana, Grant Turner as Don, David Baum as Greg (all of whom I had seen in those parts before) as well as Jessica Lea Patty as Judy. I still don't like Michelle's Diana, Grant is fine as Don but I still prefer Brad, David Baum did a totally different take on Greg but I still like Michael Paternostro's version. Jessica Lea Patty was the one who came closest to pleasing me as much as the full time cast member. Her Judy was funny, but it's SOOOO hard to fill Heather Parcells shoes in terms of comic timing. I missed her today. Also, I love how this was my 7th time seeing the show and I have still seen Ken Alan all 7 times even with his many supposed absences.

Posted: 7/1/07 at 9:24pmWhat a joke. That show always has a bunch of understudies on. I hope they're all not renewed.

Posted: 7/1/07 at 9:44pmWell I talked to some of the castmembers after, and they told me that Michael was really sick, so he missed the show. He wanted to be there for Tony's last though. And Heather barely ever misses a show. As for Natalie and Brad, they aren't renewing, neither is Michael. Heather is though.
