COMPANY - Closing Performance Stories — Page 4

I am so grateful that I got to be in the audience today. It was truly an exceptional experience. The best thing was how into it the audience was. After every scene or every song, there was enthusiastic cheering. I've never seen anything like it. Kelly and Raul's scene hit me the hardest. They were both so obviously holding back tears when she said, "I think there's a time to come to New York, and a time to leave." Heartbreaking. Ladies Who Lunch was fiercer than I've ever seen it before. And massive props to Barbara for staring down the cell phone person. That was ridiculous. The audience loved every line- great reactions to everything. When Raul stopped playing in the middle of the song, I gasped. It was heartwrenching. By the end of Being Alive, I was gone. And when he blew out the candles for the final time. Also, when they were all standing there about to say "Happy Birthday Robert" for the last time, they all face offstage and they all looked so sad. And then he blew out the candles. Wow. I have several pictures from curtain call that I will gladly post if anyone would like to see them. And I encourage others to please do the same.

It was a really amazing night to be in the audience and was an experience I will never forget. Thank you to everyone involved in Company for this truly amazing show.

It looks like everyone covered the show today pretty well already.

It was truly an amazing experience, and I'm so glad I was able to be there. This entire show and cast was just SO extraoridinary; I'm really sad to see it go, but I have all the faith in the world that each and every person in the cast is going to go on to wonderful things in the future (and at least we'll have the PBS recording)!

I don't think the fact that it's gone is going to really hit me until I walk by the theatre tomorrow and see the "Company played it's last performance on July 1, 2007" notes on the doors.
