FOLLIES is CLOSED, Y'all — Page 2

Gaveston2, I'm happy to report that absolutely everything you said above is completely wrong.

Anyone can be bored by anything. I am bored by FOLLIES. Hopefully in person, I won't be.

Trying to be cool? I'm 45 and a show queen who looks like a defensive tackle. I can't even try.

Hates musical theatre? Yes, that's why I spent my youth defending it against my jock friends at great peril to my reputation. I used to spend the interval between two a day football practices in high school in a bubble bath listening to the OBC of THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS.

"Idiot" most certainly does not refer to AMERICAN IDIOT. I don't like that show either. It refers to something in my professional life that would too easily identify me here -- the one place on the internet that I prefer to remain anonymous. It's also what I call my hound dog when he does something cute, which is often.

(Insert raspberry noise here.)

Well, Jordan, that's finally mutual then.

Or a desperate remix of a song by The Human League.

...like i need gonorrhea (again).

So who was there? What happened? Did anyone cry at the end? Who took home the show curtain?

And I think Jordan Catalano and Idiot also put their arms around each other and embraced.

I'm watching the show now. Don't tell me how it ends.

Very exciting show today due mostly to the energy and enthusiasm of the audience; thunderous applause after every song with a wonderful standing ovation for Terri White, who started to cry onstage. The final moment between Sally and Buddy - well Bernadette and Danny - was so touching! It was overall an ordinary performance as nothing was changed, but the energy was electric.

Yes, Bernadette gave the curtain speech. The first person she thanked was Sondheim. She thanked the producers, the director the writer and mentioned that there were 41 people in the company and 28 musicians - something that Broadway doesn't really have anymore.

She said everyone was so touched by the love that NYC has given the show since it moved from DC, and said that everyone is going to LA. She didn't mention that she wasn't, but for the most part everyone is going to LA.

Regine, who played Solange in the DC production was a few rows in front of me, and I saw Rebecca Luker before the show started at at intermission.

It was an amazing afternoon. The show was fantastic and there was such emotion, such raw emotion from everyone at today's performance.

When do you think the next revival of Follies will be?

---

Lea Michele can play Carlotta.

Is Nick Jonas more of a Buddy or a Ben?

---

Kevin the waiter. At any age.
