I'm glad I was there today. My first and last time seeing the show. It was truly something special.

So sad Xanadu is closed tonight. I didn't get a chance to see it but was planning on it for my birthday in November so it makes me even more disappointed.
Hope to hear from anyone who went to the last performance with all the details.

Thanks for making the lights on Broadway shine a little brighter. We will miss you Xanadu ! Good luck to everyone associated with the show.

I can't believe it's done! I couldn't have dreamed of a better final show. All I can say is thank you to everyone involved for providing a year of stress relief and fun! I've met so many great people thanks to Xanadu!

I was so teary eyed the first ten minutes of the show. Oh I am so going to miss this. The highlight by far was Cheyenne Jackson calling that Nightline woman a bitch, only followed by the Westside Story moment.

I hate that I was unable to see this show more than once, but I am SO grateful for that one time! What a sweet, fun, hilarious, and special production. Amazing.

Best of luck to the cast and crew on their next endeavors! Thank you for the wonderful experience of Xanadu!

The first time I saw XANADU, I saw it because of the on-stage seats.
The second time I saw it, I went because of Whoopi.

Today I went, because it's an amazing show.

I'm gonna admit, I was a little annoyed there were two girls in the seat where Mary and Jackie caress the on-stage audience members, I feel it would have been hilarious if they caressed the girls, but what they did worked.

I got really emotional but managed not to cry when Kerry started crying during "Suspended in Time".

Mary and Jackie's ad-libs absolutely killed me, I almost started crying from laughing so hard during her "Somewhere" act. Before "Strange Magic" with the "Of course it's empty! That's why were closing!!" and the "It must of just been mice, loud overacting *couldn't here because of applause* mice." When Jackie told her secret "I DON'T HAVE A JOB!" I felt bad, but couldn't help laughing. Then end when Mary said all her lines about Les Mis, the strikes, Spring Awakening, Gypsy, and Equuis... that was amazing.

Loved Cheyenne's night line comment. Malice, or any one who heard... what did he saw about West Side Story? I missed that due to all the applause.

Overall I really enjoyed the show which I'm happy because this is the first time I actually saw XANADU to see it, and not just because of some perk about it.


I'm gonna miss this show, a lot!

Goodbye to a wonderful, fun show, that will stay for ever in the hearts of anyone lucky enough to see it !!! I saw it twice in April, making it the first and last show out of the 20 I saw on my trip ! It will always have a special place in my heart and I wish the incredible, enormously talented, gorgeous cast ALL THE BEST !!! Thank you, XANADU for brightening up our lives !!!

Thanks for posting the "I'm Alive" clip. It must have been AMAZING to be there!!! I hope you'll be able to post Kerry's "Suspended In Time" clip. That should be tough to watch!!!

Did anyone else notice that I THINK Mary sang a line for Jackie in "Have You Ever Been Mellow?" Mary was off on the side watching... and I'm pretty sure Jackie lip synced one line... the voice sounded completely different. Anyone?

Wow - it's really over! I got to sit on stage Saturday night with my friend and fanadu Jennifer, and in our favorite spot that we call the "suddenly seats" stage left. It was my 27th time seeing the show. And it was awesome, as aways.
Jennifer surprised me with tickets for Sunday's final show, my 28th. Thank you hunny... I <3 you. It was a fond farewell to what will ALWAYS be my favorite show. I left elated and happy, hugged & kissed the cast and surprisingly didn't cry. But now that it's all over and reality has set in, while reading this thread I'm crying my eyeballs out

Thank you all... cast, crew, fans, fanadu's, HH theater, ushers, new friends & old who came with me many times. It was the best year ever. I love you all and will never be the same. I miss you already! *sniffs & wipes tears away*

I teared up a little bit during the performance on Sunday, but nothing serious. But, yesterday, when I was watching some of the film clips, I really started bawling like a baby. It's been such a great experience (only 14 times for me) and will always be in my heart. Thanks to all of the great people who made Xanadu happen. B'way won't be quite the same without you. HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
