How many people in total are leaving tomorrow? Anyone know? Like including ensemble members. This post makes it seem like everyone in this picture is leaving, when it fact it should only be Taylor. https://instagram.com/p/Bd6HxzbglLB/

After seeing the show last night, I am also wondering who else is departing from the cast after today's performances. Guess we wont know until the 20th. I noticed that Jenifer Foote was on for Taeler Cyrus.

Wednesday night Kate at the stage door, Kate did say something along the lines of “we are losing so many of our friends on Sunday night. We love each other so much. I’ve been eating a lot of my feelings lately!” I assumed it was just Bette, David and Taylor she was talking about, they all seem very close.

I was told his days of traveling and clarity are over.  Beautiful human being.

Jessica Lee Golyden made a instagram post about Cameron leaving saying “My fair lady is lucky to have you”. So i think we will find out the ensemble soon.

That's very sad about Jerry Herman.

 

Who's replacing Beanie Feldstein?

I’m not really shocked Beanies leaving, but I think it sucks they didn’t announce it.

When they said Gavin and Kate extended their runs, I guess the subtext was... no one else did.

Looks like they’re filming today. Please be for public release at some point (doubtful).

I wonder if everyone is back in the show for Bette's final performance. Swings have been going on a lot the past few weeks.

There were no understudy slips in the Playbill.

Strange how the flu didn't care that it was close to the end of Bette's run like that?!?

anytime a swing goes on, there usually isn't slip in the Playbill. There wasn't last Sunday for Donna's final show and all 6 swings were on.

I was there for the matinee. It was a great afternoon. Bette wore Eeyore slippers for her curtain call. She was incredibly gracious and appreciate of the audience. She got a standing O at her entrance (and did a turn to acknowledge the entire ensemble) and another after the title song. I THINK the only time anyone got emotional was at the very end of the show when Horace sings and dances with Dolly. I was in the balcony but it seemed like David got a little choked up. Anyone else there that can verify?

It was my fourth time seeing the show and I must say that it did appear 'rushed' at times... like the cast knew they had a 6pm reception ahead of the second show of the day. The rapturous applause for the Waiter's Gallop was cut-off by Rudolph's whistle.

I couldn't help but walk out feeling a bit burned. I bought these tix months ago for a lot of money because I wanted to be at Bette's last show. And then Rudin adds a final final show after.... so all of us who bought to see her final show with emotion and a speech (perhaps) got the amazing appetizer instead of the main course.

How dare he add an extra show to raise a boatload of money for a wonderful charity!

I feel this Actor's Fund performance should have happened last Sunday evening instead. Donna's final show should have remained on Tuesday, January 9 & Bette's official last show should have been this matinee today.

People would rather pay thousands to see Bette’s final peorfmance, not the performance the week before her final one.

No speeches, just a great time tonight. Oh, and the cameras were for the Lincoln Center Archive. At least that's what Scott Rudin told me at intermission...
