I saw the matinee with Hugh Panaro and Julie Hanson, and I LOVED it!! The special effects were wonderful, and the singing and dancing was wonderful!!
I laughed when Carlotta croaked like a toad and all the other funny parts, and I cried when Christine left the Phantom and during Think of Me I cried because that was beautiful. The Don Juan Triumphant scene was great, and I cried over the ending of PONR. I loved Notes as always, and there was no final bow music when they did their final bows.
I went backstage, shaking, and Hugh Panaro was in his dressing room taking his makeup off. Hugh was adorable--I thought his jokes were so cute. I told him I was shaking and then he said, "It's okay. It's a very emotional show." I agreed with him. Then he signed the playbill for me, and he was just so excited to see me. I got a handshake from him, and I left his dressing room with a big smile on my face. I was very very nervous about meeting him, though, but still, he was very very very very sweet.
