anyone there today? Curious if any speeches were made afterwards & how emotional the show itself was today. Wish I could've been there. Such a fantastic show, I hope it does well on tour.

Was a terrific performance.  I actually enjoyed it more today than I did when I first saw it a year and a half ago.  The performers were all on their game and were clearly emotional, especially at the end and at bows.  Lots of tears and tissues   

Simon Stephens (the playwrite) gave a very warm and thank you filled speech. 

*spoiler*. A cell phone went off in the complete silence when the father was taking Christopher's clothes off to change him after the found letters episode. Almost ruined that incredibly powerful scene.

Was there tonight. I saw the show last April and absolutely loved it. This afternoons show was incredible and had more of an impact on me then before.

The cast was spot on today seeming to bring out more emotion then before. Simon came out at the end thanking everyone for coming to see the show for the past 2 years. Many tears were shed from the cast.

Only problem as stated above was the person behind me's cell phone going off during the end of the 1st act ruining the entire moment for me, and seemed to bother several people around me. Simon Stephens came out the stage door and signed for a few people as did most of the cast.

I'm going to miss this show and I hope the show continues to be successful on the road!

Did they still do the post curtain call scene even after the speech? I'm sure that must have been a ton of fun if they still did it!

It's not really a spoiler.

I was there. Lost count on how many times I've seen this show. Saw all Christophers. All wonderful in their own way.

That cell phone was nerve racking today. And it had to be in one of the quietest moments of the show. When will people learn?

But back to the show. Both original Christophers, Alex Sharp and Taylor Trench,  were in the audience today. Fun seeing them saying hello to so many, including the ushers.

As has been said, playwright Simon Stephens was there. Beautiful speech. Enid Graham who has played the mother for nearly 2 years spoke beautifully too. All cast members were in tears.

A wonderful performance. I will miss this show.

I saw it shortly after it opened and again just before it closed.  In all ways, a true bright light on Broadway.
