COMPANY - Closing Performance Stories — Page 6

Wow, that sounds like an incredible experience
I so wish I could've seen this show again

But wow, Heather Laws' baby in that Amy outfit is probably the cutest thing I've seen in a LOOOONG time! I almost want to make an icon out of it, haha :)

Totally saw her run after a random woman with a baby thinking she was Heather Laws. And then she plowed through everyone to get back to the front of the crowd. She was CRAZED!

anything like Heather Laws, haha?

No, not really.

While everything's pretty much been covered, I just wanted to say that I am so grateful that I was able to attend the final show.

What I'm sure will be more interesting to people is that I was in PBS' production truck for both the matinee and the evening show on Saturday, and the shots are absolutely beautiful. I don't know how it's going to turn out after editing, but from the shots alone, it looks great. Some of the sweeping shots from the rigged camera are gorgeous, especially during Being Alive.

My heart sank the moment I woke up this morning, after only a few hours of sleep anyway. It's strange; the first show I ever loved was AIDA, and when that closed, I was so, so upset. It had been in my life for several years, so of course I was sad to see it go, and I still do to this day miss it sometimes, but I never did the way I will miss Company. I loved Cabaret. I loved Sweeney Todd. But it was never like this -- it's hard to explain, especially after just waking up, but I'm sure some of you guys know what that feeling is like, to just connect with something. I feel like someone has extracted an actual part of my life. I know that's terribly silly, but because this time I actually live in Manhattan and was able to see it often, it really did have a big presence in my life. I feel as though I have lost something as irreplaceable as a close friend. I will be forever grateful for the time I did have with it, but hate that I will never experience it again. And sure, people will say to me that it's just a musical, but I suppose people here will understand how sad it is to let go of one of the most wonderful things you have ever experienced.

I wonder if they sold all the programs yesterday.

I really hope that the cast got the card that I sent them in time, because yesterday was too crazy to actually tell them anything in person

"I wonder if they sold all the programs yesterday."

When I was there on Saturday matinee, the guy said he only had three programs left (one on the counter and the 3 display ones.) I snagged one. He also said he only had the teeshirt on the display left. The lady next to me snagged it. The only thing he seemed to have much of were CDs and mugs. I don't know if they were saving more stuff somewhere to sell that evening and Sunday.

The program was only $5. Is that the usual price or were they clearance priced? I usually pay $10-$15.

---

It was originally $10 -- I got one the week they came in.

by the way, if you want to pay $17, you can buy the program online...

Great performance. I'll never forget it.

My friend got me a signed playbill a few months back when they were selling them for BCEFA. Although she said they mentioned another charity that evening. But I have it signed by the entire cast. So, didn't get to see the show, but have a piece of it at least.

thanks for the photos people! I feel like I was there :)

Any more? Please post!
