In Musical Comedy Murders I was Marjorie and my sort-of opposite was Ken. It was a boy I had a crush on about a year earlier, and he was/still is an absolutely incredible actor. It was just a lot of fun.

In Applause, there were 4 minor roles who weren't Gypsies (singer/dancers) but weren't prominent enough to be leads or really that featured. There was one girl, me (Petra) and two guys. The two guys were kind of my newest freinds in theatre and it was just really nice to get to bow with 2 friends who I had recently bonded with because of our role-types.

MASH was fun bewing a Bonwit, just curtsying sillily and getting a nice applause.

Least favorite...I guess the ensemble one in Little Shop...it wasn't bad though, I LOVE curtain calls.

I think ensemble bows are perfectly appropriate for a straight play when the roles are of equal size, no indignity about it.

LOVED the 42nd Street curtain call...they just kept on dancing for years!

My school just did Grease. Our curtain call was pretty nice. We came out from the wings, company, teen angel chior, and Johnny Casiono and Vince Fontaine and the likes first, then Patty, and then the couples. I was Marty, so I came out with Sonny, and we were 2 couples before Rizzo and Kenickie, so it was cool. We had Sandy and Danny do their bows last, then Rizzo and Kenickie joined them, then the whole cast joined THEM. Once we were all there we sang the song Grease. It was really nice. We had afull house, and they were all dancing and clapping along with us. On closing night we sang a song we'd written for our director. It was really nice.

I like the ones where they kind of introduce people in the chorus in groups, then all the leads kind of get to bow on their own, then everyone kind of bows together.

I also like it when there is a routine/music during the curtain call. (I don't like how phantom and spring awakening it's like dead silence and they just all bow)

I personally really like the legally blonde curtain call, as lame as that may sound. Wicked's is pretty good too, with like a jazzier version of defying gravity kind of playing throughout.

By far, the most powerful I've seen was at Journey's End.

To satiate my ego, I'll say my favorites were The Man Who Came to Dinner and Medea. I played Whiteside and Medea, respectively, and it's so nice to have the final bow.

On the flip side of ego, I played Rocky in Rocky Horror, and was stuck in traffic when they were choreographing curtain calls, so they put me first. Look, I know he's not the most important character in the piece, but the dang show's named after me, I should be bowing after Eddie. Dude's got one song.

I had an affinity for the Urinetown curtain call where they'd do that crazy dance after their bows. I still think about that and laugh.
