Congratulations on your well deserved Tony. You looked beautiful last Sunday, especially on the Red Carpet. And you are one lucky Broadway star, you get to perform in one of the most beautiful musicals ever written and go home and sleep with that hunky husband! (lol)
Not EVERYONE in the Broadway "community" feels you were undeserving and would welcome you back ANY TIME! (and bring ScarJo with you!!!)

Much love and respect,
Sueleen Gay

PEACE.

Ditto. To everything except the part about ScarJo.

They really do, Sue. And after the final performance of the week, their Stage Manager holds a blow torch behind them so they can light them all at once.

It's brighter than the tree at Rockefeller Center!

I just got out of the emotional final performance!
I told Catherine not to mind Paljoey, he is a bitter man because of the 2001 revival of Follies!

They also lit them in unison while pulling Santa's sleigh with antlers on. Brought Santa into the jet age. Spectacular indeed!

ljay, do tell about the emotional final performance!

She was sensational this afternoon (and proved why she deserved that Tony Award). "Send in the Clowns" was very emotional for her...she could barely get out the last two words "next year" and then she started crying. It was beyond brilliant. I love the woman so much and can't wait for her to come back to Broadway. She gave a nice curtain speech praising the Broadway community and Angela Lansbury (who was stellar this afternoon as well).

I will post more about it when I get home and am on my computer.
It was lovely. Catherine still sounded hoarse, but made her way through the performance. Her Clowns was nothing like the Tonys. Her performance certainly did change over the past seven months though. She was still very good. I am so happy she won the Tony.

Lots of tears at curtain call. A teary Catherine made a speech devoted to Lansbury. Will write more later.

How DARE she give an emotional final performance! Doesn't she know that there are hundreds of struggling actors who never know if their final performance may be their last?! She's just going to go home and have Michael Douglas buy her an Emmy.

I was also lucky enough to be there this afternoon, and it was a very emotional experience. CZJ was obviously hoarse, but Send In The Clowns was exponentially better than at the Tonys, almost stopping the show. The curtain call was long and emotional, with many cast members openly weeping. CZJ made a gracious speech, thanking cast & crew, with moving remarks about Lansbury. We were locky enough to be third row center, and many audience members were crying during the curtain call.

Knowing that Stritch & Peters would be taking over the roles, it was hard not to think about that during this performance. I think there takes will both be drastically different from their predecessors, and it will be interesting to see the results.

Her Clowns was pretty different from the previous times I've seen her. It was much more emotional. I couldn't tell if her ending was an acting or choice, or if her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't get out "next year." She barely got out "next year" then she repeated "maybe next year" but it was spoken. It actually worked. Her Desiree was more fun and goofy than the previous times I've seen her. Most of it worked.

Angela was just sensational as always. Such a shame she lost the Tony.
Ramona Mallory has toned some things down. And the rest of the cast was great. It was also Marissa McGowan's final performance which CZJ mentioned at curtain call.

The curtain call was beautiful. CZJ said something to the effect that it will be hard for her to find another experience that will come close to this. It was very emotional and touching.

I can't wait to see Peters and Stritch on July 13!

Dear Catherine Zeta Jones,

I think you'd make a smashing MAME.

I was also there this afternoon and was lucky enough to sneak from standing room to front row center at intermission. I also saw the show in January and thought that CZJ was better back then in Act 1. Her Act 2 today blew me away. She had me in tears at the end of "Send in the Clowns." As mentioned above, she barely got out "maybe next year" because of tears and then repeated it in a whisper. It almost seemed like her own "I'll be back!" but that's probably reading into it too much.

It was a very emotional performance all around and I really felt lucky to be able to observe from so close in the second act.

Dear Miss Zeta Jones, You only have one life, do work that interests you. But if Meredith Prattleson's "sources" are correct, and we have no reason to believe she has any, stop smoking!

I second that. We want you with us for a LONG time so you can keep coming back, so put them cigarettes down.

Re: Marissa McGowan leaving. Was she the actress who made the extension announcement on her facebook before it was officially released? If so, was she penalized for that and is that the reason she's leaving? Just if anyone happens to know?

Nope. Karen Murphy (Madame Armfeldt understudy) is the one who did that.

I really don't think she smokes. Have you seen the woman's complexion and she doesn't have any pursing lines above her lip. She can't smoke in a theatre anyway, can she? Wouldn't she have to go outside?

In all honesty, maybe the run just wore her out by now. Her voice probably isn't used to working that hard for that long.

That's right. I got the names mixed up. Thanks! Clearly it wasn't a big deal to "leak" that!
