Anyone go to the final performance of Violet today? Was it pretty typical last show stuff, or did anyone make any special speeches? Anyone spot any of the creative team or production team(Tesori, or the Sherman-Pallidinos)?

I went! It was pretty typical last-show stuff. Sutton said a few things, about how the show was special, that it was in fact closing night, etc. She actually invited the creative team on stage to take final bows with the rest of the cast, so I'm pretty sure Jeanine Tesori and the Sherman-Pallidinos were among the ones on stage since I recognized some faces. Something funny Sutton said during her remarks was that "...I'm sorry, we're having brisket after the show and I just keep thinking brisket, brisket, brisket, hoping it will calm me down." I also noticed that all the applause throughout the show was extra long and extra loud.

I went last night and then listened to a special recording ( ) from the performance last night as soon as I woke up. Great show, stunning performances, fantastic audience. Brian Crawley was sitting near me so it was cool to see his facial expressions and reactions during the show.
