Final Bows You Disagree With — Page 2

I think in Wicked it should go:

Ensemble
Chistery
Boq
Nessarose
Fiyero
Morrible
The Wizard
Glinda
Elphaba

Because Kristin was such a big star, Elphie and Glinda will always be now viewed as equals, when really Elphie should be the star of the whole show.

---

Don't care who plays her--Elphaba should always get the final bow!

"Hello Suckers, Welcome back."

Velma does speak to the audience, and sings "I Know A Girl" to the them as well. She also makes some asides to the audience as well.

Do you guys know who gets the last bow in Into the Woods usually? And how it went for the original Broadway cast? For the revival? I assume Vanessa bowed last in the latter. It's just so hard, I suppose the Witch always is supposed to bow last, but there are so many leads - the Baker, the Baker's Wife, and the Witch being the most primary, I think.

Interesting. I guess since it's an ensemble show, she ties everyone together.

Bow order, I've determined, should not be taken to mean anything at all. I have long gotten bent out of shape over it, and I've finally come to terms with the fact that it really just doesn't matter.

My one major disagreement with bows comes for Once Upon a Mattress. I think the Queen should have the final bow, just after Winnifred. I know the show isn't about the Queen, but every production I've seen the Queen steals every scene she's in.

morosco- who DID get the last bow in 42nd Street?

Sometimes i wonder about the Beauty and the Beast final bows....it's very hard when you have two characters in the title of the show, because then it makes for confusion as to who gets the LAST bow....I know it's always the beast, and if anyone has seen steve blanchard as the beast would agree that he should get the final bow...

Also (the bows dont upset me, just the article), but i read once, where a reviewer for Thoroughly Modern Millie was disgusted that the Bows were set up so that when the title song was played, that sutton foster walked out to take her bow....honestly, that's one of my favorite curtain calls...I like how for each character, their song, or theme is played as they come out to take their bows....i think that's incredibly petty of that reviewer to say that...I mean the show is called thoroughly modern MILLIE, why bitch about having the curtain call set up for her? who does he think the last bow would go to? Roxanne Barlow?

I think we've beaten the Little Shop bows until there are no more solutions left.

I think South Pacific should have Bloody Mary bow after Cable & Billis because her part is more relevant to the plot than both characters. Plus, she steals the show and she's a hoot and a half!

Annie pretty much got the last bow in all of her new york runs.

Nell Carter was thought to get the last bow in the revival but it turned out that they all thought it should go to Annie/

I think the sequel Annie 2: Miss Hannigans Revenge had Dorothy Loudon being last...and I can also recall one Natnl tour where Hannigan was the last.

I don't really recall every having a problem with bows being in what I thought was incorrect order

"but the show is called Pippin afterall, shouldn't Pippin have top billing?"

That's bad logic.
Title character doesn't mean lead character.
Should the Wizard get the final bow in The Wizard of Oz?
No.
Should Louise aka Gypsy Rose Lee get the final bow in Gypsy?
No.
And so on.
Title character really doesn't mean anything.

GLidna needs the last bow...at least her charecter is intresting
