That makes perfect sense. When I was in middle school drama we learned about that stuff. Now as a senior in high school I've forgotten a lot of it , because we have almost no theatre program.

I want one. If I didn't have marching band rehearsal...

This is just too sad..it will definately be weird seeing a different show in that theatre.

When I saw Jersey Boys 2 weeks ago it felt so weird being in a different theatre and seeing a different show.

All the signs are still there except for the ones hanging from the awning. The posters are still up, the wall paintings, only a tiny little closing notice on the front door.

Ok...now we're pushing it.

I felt that way after All Shook Up, seeing Lestat at the Palace was a horrible experience. And that's not even talking about the show itself!!!

Yeah, because I would actually take one. [/sarcasm]

I felt the same way after Sweet Charity. I walked into the Al Hirschfeld to get rush tickets to TWS & I was like "this isn't Sweet Charity". Got to the theatre for the show, saw the curtain & said "That's not the Sweet Charity curtain! Where's the box that Christina puts her feet in for the opening scene?"...then the curtain rose & Christina didn't walk out & make her blonde jokes. Instead, it was a loud opening with a lot of dancing.

And so it starts over again. Next time I'm in the theatre, I'm gonna wait for those opening chords & not hear them!

Though lets hope Curtains keeps up the tradition of connecting shows- Sweet Charity had the song "Hey Big Spender" & in All about the Green "Strippers screaming Hey Big Spender"

Out of habit, I just looked to see if Wedding Singer was on TDF.

I actually have a funny story about taking stuff after shows close.

When they were renovating the Rodgers after Movin' Out closed, a friend and I were passing by and noticed (on a very rainy night) that they were taking down the large canvas coverings of the scaffolding, which read "Twyla Tharp and Billy Joel's MOVIN' OUT." I asked one of the workers if I could take it, they said yes. My friend and I rolled up the thing (it was easily 20 feet long), we walked it to the 7 train, and now, I have a rolled up Movin' Out canvas sign taking up space in my bedroom. I tried to sell it on ebay - nobody wanted it (not surprised). I had it as my avatar for a while...

Wow. I would have bought it had I known about it. Lol.

I was checking today to see if there was anything around to keep, and they seriously loaded everything into trucks. I was offered the big balloon thing from the Someday reprise, but it was just huge and bulky and what the heck would I do with that??

[FOAnatic]

Posted: 1/2/07 at 8:58pm

I would have grabbed that, too.

I saw the matinee on Saturday, the 30th.

I was amazed and surprised that it was closing so soon.

Ditto what Liotte said, or anything from the final show.

Also *waves* hi guys! Sorry I haven't been around much, just a busy holiday season. It's hard to believe I come back here and have pictures to look at of the sets on the street...so weird. It doesn't seem quite right.

Too bad it didn't do that before :-P
I completely understand the not wanting to go to the theatre thing. I felt the same way when "Taboo" closed.
