POTO tour closes tonight

It's far from my favorite show anymore, but this tour was a huge part of my childhood. I'll never forget seeing it for the first time the night before thanksgiving when I was 9. My mom's co-worker suddenly had an extra ticket and she brought me. My dad gave me money to buy souvenirs which still sit in my closet and my folks bought me the cast album for Christmas that year. I listened to it start to finish everyday.

It visited here in Denver several times over the course of it's 20+ year life and every time it came to town it was such an event. It's certainly the end of and era, and I congratulate all of those who worked on the tour over the years for their success.

Always sad when a show closes and actors, musicians and crew become unemployed. This tour has been running for 18 years - that's an amazing feat! Think of all the millions of people, both young and old, who went to the theatre and enjoyed themselves.

Very sad the tour is ending tonight. I first saw it in 2006 and it was AMAZING! I went back this year to see it one last time and I am so glad I was able to see it. The actors were also so nice at the stage door.

It's times like this I wish I was a billionaire, I would buy the sets and set them up in a warehouse someplace so I could go play with them whenever I wanted.

Pity the demand isn't high enough for some city to set up a sit down using this set.

I congratulate everyone who worked on this tour or astounding millions of people. I saw this as my first show in 2006 in Philly. WOW! Practically identical to the one on Broadway! Some of the actors who I saw are still on the tour! This show inspired me to want to become a performer. Congrats!

High schools and colleges are doing the show as we write.
