Wow, I just bought Xanadu tickets for Curtis's last preformance without even knowing it! That was a luck break, considering that he's one of the reasons I wanted to see the show.

Looking forward to Curtis' next gig. If nothing is set for him yet, I have a place for him.

Curtis is divine! I will miss him dearly in his muse outfit, but wish him all the best! :) I was glad to see him twice!

I'll certainly miss that cutie Curtis. But Kyle isn't so hard to look at either...

*sigh*
I won't be there for Curtis's final performance... I'll be in San Fran...
He's such a great guy and SO talented! Can't wait to see him in Saved either

I'll be seeing the show a couple of more times before he goes - it'll be bittersweet to see Curtis turn in his skates, but he had a great run and I'm very happy he had the chance to leave a great impression on so many. And hopefully all his new and old fans will follow him to SAVED!

Darn! I was really hoping to get to Broadway to see him in Xanadu!

But I wish him success in his new show.

P.S. I want a "Suspended In Time" shirt like he's wearing up there. It's awesome!
