Does anyone know if they sell any of the merch online? Went in previews but didn't get a chance to buy anything.

Awesome to see the production recouped its investment!!!! Wow!

Sent you a PM, V!

If you're going to wait for rush, I would line up no later than 7 pm tonight and check with the box office to confirm that they will surely be offering it tomorrow. There have been no seats left for awhile and plenty of people spent their night camping out from before midnight all week and were to late.

I really hope so but it may be tough given the show didn't comp any Tony voters this season to see the show (which meant Tony voters had to pay $$$ just like the rest of us to see it.) I understand Tony voters love theater but given how they're used to getting free/comp tickets to the best seats in the house, I wonder if they shelled out $$$ of their own money to get premium seats to see this show or if they just didn't see it (if they're in nyc, as I understand a good percentage of Tony voters don't live in NYC area.)

SDV said: "Might there be a chance for a special Tony for this extraordinary production, like the one they gave JCM a couple of years ago for his Broadway Hedwig when he wasn't eligible? I was just thinking about how many awards this show would take if it was in the running. Would love to see the committee recognize this company."

They chose not to compete, though, so they were eligible for Tonys otherwise.

They withdrew themselves from consideration, so I think that is more than them just not campaigning or providing seats.

It was a lovely final performance. The audience was low key but enthusiastic and respectful. There was a short speech from Jake at the curtain call. Sondheim and Lapine were not brought out.

The performances were just as beautiful as they've been since February. Jake's voice sounded a little tired but his dedication to this character more than made up for that. Annaleigh is quite possibly the definitive Marie, just such perfection.

Just a side note, I overheard a woman complaining to an usher at intermission that the French horn player seems to always miss the final note of the act 1 finale Sunday, sounding cracked/flat. I've noticed this as well during the several performances l've seen. Even at City Center, the note was missed at the performance I saw. I'm not sure if it was the same player. Have others noticed this? I'm not a musician, is that a particularly difficult note to hit?

I was at the final performance today, too, and echo everything that ljay reported. This was my third time seeing "Sunday" at the Hudson, and I saw the Encores mounting once, so needless to say I love this show and this particular production. I think I was most emotional today of my four visits knowing I'd have to say goodbye to these performances (I'm so grateful we're getting that cast recording, though). There were a lot of audible sobs in the balcony at the end of the show and much enthusiastic and elongated applause (particularly after "Sunday in the Park with George," "Finishing the Hat," and "Move On", but nothing over the top, which I thought was appropriate and non-interruptive.

I spotted both Sondheim and Lapine in the orchestra, and also noticed Debra Monk and Jeannine Tesori in the audience. Someone next to me said they spoke to Huma Abedin at intermission. Jake gave a short and sweet curtain call speech saying that his heart could burst with gratitude and left the stage in an embrace with Annaleigh.

I also got to chat with Philip Boykin in line to buy merchandise before the show. He said it's been an incredible ten weeks. Such a lovely guy!

JBroadway said: "But do the same rules apply to special awards? I'm guessing the producers of Hedwig didn't give comps to all the Tony voters just to see JCM, yet clearly he still got the special award. Same thing with Hugh Jackman when he wasn't eligible for his one man show. Are the Tony Voters/Nominating Committee the same people in charge of choosing the special awards? I would guess not. If the people in charge of the special awards saw Sunday, I think there is still a chance it could get one. I'm not saying it necessarily will, but I don't think the lack of voter comps is a deal-breaker. "

I think special awards are just awarded by the nominating committee, no comps required- the Tonys can, if they so desire, give an award to anyone if they deem it deserved. That said, I wouldn't really hold your breath on a special Tony for this production. I will admit that I wasn't as enamored of it as most, but the Tonys rarely give special awards, and I'm not sure they'd give one for a show just because it was well-done.

Glad to hear the last performance was lovely.

OK....it's the last show of a successful run and the last thing you want the French Horn player to think about was the wrong note he/she hit at the end of one number? I mean seriously?

And some woman complained to an usher like the the usher can do something about it?

I can confirm it, as well. I shook his hand.
