Yes, my father and my best friend were there. (You may have heard my friend go "I'm so confused!").

I have to say- as much as people post on these boards how much they hate the show- both times I've seen it- in previews and months later- the audience seems to be totally present and into the show- and were very responsive- both in their applause and their absolute silence and astuteness in following the story.

You feel very communal as an audience- like you're one big group experiencing something special.

This show really is a unique experience in so many ways- truly wonderful.

Loved it. But.. I do love Pajama Game.

I agree that the majority of the audience always seems to enjoy the show. I've also had conversations about the show with strangers during intermission, and I don't think that's happened before.

I'm glad that they got a standing ovation immediately last night. I didn't want to be one of the few to jump up right away, but they all deserve it.

Were you there last night?

If you're asking me, yes, I was. It was great to be there that night.

Did you stagedoor afterwards? I am still remembering all of the great moments from last night's show.

No, I didn't stage door. I'm very shy, so I'd probably just stand there and be awkward, especially when I'm by myself. I was so tempted to do it, but I had such I great time at the show, I didn't want to do anything to ruin the experience.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I didn't stage door until the second time I saw it, and didn't really have anything to say until fter I started going to cast member's solo hows and gigs and the like.

I live out of town and have not seen the show since December. I am so glad that their first night back was so well received by the audience. It probably re-energized them from Sunday night's disappointments and re-confirmed to them that "We're putting out some great theatre here."

I am very sorry I missed it!

Kind of along the same lines...but the night BEFORE the TONY's was an incredible experience. I was talking to Lauren Molina afterwards (backstage, where also Glenn Close walked by---what!) and we were talking about how fast the show went tonight---we think the cast's excitement about the TONY'S cut off like 10 minutes of the show---the energy was great, my seats were great, and it was amazing.

And the stage door lady was awesome, too!

This is FANTASTIC! Wish I were there as well!

Oh, I wish I was there!!

I'm so glad that they had such a warm and welcome reception by the audience (as, of course, I knew they would). They are just so incredibly fantastic, and for me the Tonys were such a kick in the teeth, that I'm sure it felt good for all of them.

So AWESOME.
