My only solace is Barrett taking over in two days.

But I hope Johnny has an AMAZING night. He deserves it!

I wish him all the best and pass the tissue box!

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I almost got to go, but that didn't work out. Oh well.... I have a certain small festivity planned for this evening, anyway.

i was just going to post the john thread, but im glad it has already started! about seven minutes till curtain...broadway is losing a great performer tonight, but hopefully he will be back very soon. when i found out john was leaving, i knew i had to get tickets, and i did on the 20th. i am so glad i did decide to go because that is a performance not to be missed. i will be seeing avenue q again in march, but it will not be the same. can you guys let me know how barrett is? im sure he's really good...anyway, thanks john for being so amazing and for being probably the nicest performer i have met...ahh i love him!

Two minutes...

I can't believe it... and wish I'd seen the show earlier so I could have seen it more than once with him in it... but I did get to see him in it, so yay for that. And I wish I could have gone tonight...

He'll move on to even more, another solace..

I got the chance to see the show in October and Johnny was AMAZING (as was the rest of the cast, of course). I got to meet him afterwards and he was just the sweetest person. He even apologized for taking so long to come outside. And did anyone else see the ginormous water bottle he has?

Oh wow... I'm going to miss him so much - even if I have only seen the show once!

I did the same thing for Idina's last. Regretted not going, and wasn't sad until it was actually the day of. I'm such a nerd.

*cries*I wish him all the best, and he WILL move on to greater things, although he was amazing in Avenue Q. He's such a sweet guy and I wish him the best with whatever he does, and I know he wont be out of the spotlight for long.

I hope there are pictures from his last performance :)

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

*Sigh* I wish i was there right now. John's performance was incredable and he was such a nice person at the stage door.
