WHAT A NIGHT!!! WHAT AN AMAZING END TO A GREAT SHOW!!! This was such a wonderful & emotional night. Definitly the best night of theatre I have ever experienced. As "obsessedjb" stated before, the minute the announcement was made saying "welcome ladies and gentlemen to the last Broadway performance of A CHORUS LINE" the audience went nuts. And again once the lights went down and the cast walked on stage, there was applause for about 2 minutes.
My favorite parts:
- Opening: So much energy, so much emotion. It was sad seeing the 7 cuts dancers leave the stage for the final time. I just wish Mario Lopez wasn't on stage.
- At The Ballet. It was sort of weird seeing Deidre Goodwin so emotional during this number but I loved it. Then to end it, Melissa Lone's belt of "At The Ballet" lasted forever and the audience went nuts again. Beautiful!
- Music & The Mirror. Jessica KILLED it as Cassie. Simply amazing. Loved the standing o at the end and Jessica was so emotional. WOW!!
- What I Did For Love. When Zach says "If today were the day you HAD to stop dancing, how would you feel??" The tears started. First it was Heather, then Paul McGill & Jessica, then Deidre & Natalie(and for me as well). A much deserved standing o after that number.
- Loved the speech by John Breglio at the end. It was nice to see so many past cast members there. I'm guessing it(Breglio's speech) will be on Broadway.com or some other website as there were camera crews there filming his speech.
Overall, simply breathtaking. An amazing night of theatre that I'll never forget.
