Did anyone go last night? Curious to hear how it was. Some good (and notoriously bad) musicals that year!

I was there. It was like a Chess/Carrie lovefest, which was fine with me. :)

I don't have a song list (and the insert had several mistakes anyway), but from what I remember, it was mostly:

Phantom
Romance/Romance
Carrie
Chess
Legs Diamond

One song from The Gospel of Colonus, which was wonderful.

I was there last night. The big excitement was someone collapsed in the front balcony. During the last 20 minutes of the show very quiet havoc ensued as the FDNY (around 10) paramedics worked on her. This was going on while Howard Mcgillan was singing Music of the Night. Very strange.

Really?! I was in the rear orchestra and had no idea (the biggest problem near us during MoTN was someone with a plastic bag). I saw ambulances outside, but didn't realize they were for Town Hall.

You didnt hear the walkie talkiess. It was so bizarre. I do have to say Town Hall handled it very well. What do most theaters do when someone get very sick (or even dies) during a performance?
