"Missing" shows

My school has a poster for a service that has a person that looks just like, and might be Adam Chanler-Berat on it. Every time I see it, I really start to miss Next to Normal and feel a longing for it.

I think so. I'd compare the feeling of missing a show I really loved to what it's like to miss a person, honestly. When you get used to something being there and then have to adjust to its absence, isn't that only the natural thing to happen There are certain shows that I think I will never stop missing -- or, for that matter, loving.

There are times when I'll turn to one of my friends and say "I need a Xanadu day". It's not just missing the show as a piece but missing the feelings the show brought out in you. Xanadu, for instance. It could be a miserable day outside and maybe in your heart but there was always a bit of sunshine inside the Helen Hayes.

Or with South Pacific. I can honestly say that it was probably the closest thing to theatrical perfection I have ever seen. I not only miss the show itself but the feeling emotions brought forth because of it.

Whenever I see a cat it makes me want to cry

Eris, what I miss most about South Pacific is the thrust stage sliding back to reveal the orchestra as the Bali Hai section of the overture crescendoed! A one-of-a-kind experience! That and Paulo Szot stopping the show with "This Nearly Was Mine"

I agree on both counts. I also loved when the orchestra stood up during the Entr'Acte. Still bummed the PBS doesn't have that.

I don't think they get replaced. All you have to do is step inside to see that. It's like a spacial nostalgia for me. I always love being back in those theaters in particular.
