Millie Reunion Concert (reactions)

Actor's Fund performances like this do not have any merchandise. I've gone to many reunions over the years and have never seen anything.

I’ll be there tonight! I’m beyond excited.

You can stop by Triton Gallery. I think they're open Mondays and buy a poster from the original show beforehand if you want to try and get that signed.

I'm going tonight! The little videos on Instagram have gotten me SOOOOO excited!!! Does anyone know where the Minskoff Stagedoor is? I was thinking of stagedooring after.

Take a left as you exit the lobby onto the plaza/alley way and the door should be marked. Bringing my old Millie playbill just in case. But I’m also unsure if they’ll sign.

Will post more later on, but above all else, Sutton’s “Gimme Gimme” blew the roof of the Minskoff tonight.

Beautiful evening. ELECTRIC crowd. Standing ovations for Sutton Foster's entrance, "Forget About the Boy," and "Gimme Gimme." Sutton Foster is just so mindblowingly good. "Gimme Gimme" - I've never seen an audience on their feet faster. Gavin Creel is such a brilliant performer, and completely did not expect the amount of applause he got for "What Do I Need with Love." Maybe the longest applause of the night since Sutton exited pretty quickly after "Gimme Gimme." Marc Kudisch was HILARIOUS. Impeccable timing. Overall, everyone both onstage and off was thrilled to be there. The dancers, the actors - they gave everything. So happy I was there.

There were cheers in the orchestra before the show, so I assume there were big names in attendance? I was in the mezzanine and spotted Charlie Stemp up there.

(Side note: yikes, I did not realize how much of this show doesn't hold up over 15 years. We won't be seeing a revival any time soon, but tonight was unimaginably lovely.)

Yeah, racial stereotypes, sex trafficking, and sexual harassment don’t play well in 2018. The show is too long and really drags at times.

That being said, tonight was incredibly special. How is it that Sutton and Gavin sound BETTER than they did 16 years ago?

Sutton Foster is a truly special gem. I have nothing but love for her.

WOW. What an evening. I’m just now getting back to my hotel. For those who care, a few cast members came out to sign. Sheryl Lee Ralph could not have been sweeter. She signed and talked to everyone out there.

I was not prepared for this to be as full of a production as it was. Every production number was staged with the exception of The Nuttycracker Suite. I never thought I’d get to see Sutton in this role, so to say I’m still processing it is an understatement. Tonight’s audience was also a perfect mix of enthusiastic yet engaged correctly. They cheered, but also knew not to shout over music we all wanted to hear.

Sutton was on fire. You could tell she was having the best time. I was impressed by the amount of physical comedy she was able to work in even with the binder. Full standing ovations when she came out, and following Forget About the Boy & Gimme Gimme. You completely see how everything that happened in her career stemmed from this performance. It’s still star-making.

Yes the Asian plot is problematic, but damn if Harriet Harris didn’t command that stage tonight. Gavin sounded terrific and was having a blast. Marc Kudish was completely off-book and incredible. Sheryl Lee Ralph was everything you wanted her to be. Megan McGinnis was a welcome addition.

It was also delightful to see Kate Baldwin in the chorus of Forget About the Boy.

I was wildly impressed with the entire evening. I’ve also never been in the Minskoff, which is a beautiful theatre. A magical evening!

Missed the first couple of scenes but was so glad I finally made it to the theatre. What a wonderful evening. Fun to see Gavin, Sutton and Marc try to hold it together before the Mrs. Meers entrapment scene. These reunion concerts are such a treat. Looking forward to Ragtime!
