Best Curtain Call?

Mamma Mia
Hairspray


YAY for dancing in the aisles!



Dance of The Vampires was VERY enjoyable as well I hear.. people were SOOO glad it was over

Oops, forgot to mention my favorite.

PETER PAN! (Of course.) Peter flying over the audience was most thrilling!

I also like 42nd STREET's curtain call.

I enjoyed LEND ME A TENOR's curtain call a great deal.

Sounds sweet! They dance in the aisles? I bet the light wall looks cool at the end.

Mamma Mia...I'm convinced it's the curtain call that makes me go back again and again and again....

I'll have to agree that the Mamma Mia! curtain call is great fun. This was not one of my favorite shows, but the dancing to two or three songs at the curtain call was a joy.

Urinetown.

Dance! Dance!

That reminds me of a curtain that I was a part of.

We did the play BANG BANG, YOU'RE DEAD and toured it to local middle schools. We then took it to a high school, performed it, and did our regular curtain call which was this:

This was a cast of 18 people. The show ends where a student (who goes into the school cafeteria and shoots/kills five other students, possibly others) falls to his knees and says "Oh God" after it has sunken in on what he has done. A blackout slowly fades in, where only a red spotlight is on this student, and then it goes out.

All us actors then slowly walk to the ends of the stage towards the audience, in a chorus line, then the lights fade back on to reveal a perfectly straight line of actors from one end of the stage to the other end. No one bows. We just stand there with expressions on our faces that say "Yeah. Scary, isn't it." A song then fades on (from KORN I believe, which was played before and a point during the show. This song seemed to be for "fun before the show" but during the show was "oh no" and after was "oh my god!").

No one clapped, but everyone stood, in awe. The silence was our applause. The tears were our applause.

I like the curtain call i "Arsenic and Old Lace" when the dead bodies from the cellar take bow.

I'm sorry Phantom05- you have a right to your opinion...but there is NOTHING special about the Phantom curtain call.

Of course they are smiling.. it means they made it through another show without teh audience dropping teh chandelier on teh cast for having teh gall to perform that show AGAIN

the most thrilling curtain call ever was for Lauren Bacall as Margo Channing in Applause.

this was truly one of the best parts of the show.
