The Best Feeling in the World...

for me:
sitting in a theater, flipping through the playbill. suddenly the lights dim and the first chord of music erupts from the pit. or the actors enter and the show begins.

right when scarlet pimpernel was over

When JLT says, "And we were both very young..."

"when BKLYN wins the Tony for bestest musical ever."

Woah.... never.. I hope...

when Nathan Lane said "Avenue Q" and the orchestra played "It Sucks to Be Me"
The look on NTG's face at my Tony Party was priceless
Ruv u sweetie

munk, you and i have a lot in common.
best feeling, the end of gypsy.
worst feeling, seeing that naked fat lady in gypsy with binoculers!

I'm agreeing with C-Q-T for best feeling. That's my favorite feeling EVER. My heart races as the curtain goes up (or, the actors come on stage if there is no curtain), or the orchestra starts to play. It's just amazing.

---

i wasnt thrilled. it wasnt horrible, and bernadette was great. maybe it was because i was in the alst row of the upper mezzanine and couldnt see anything. that and i had gotten 13 phone calls during the show and i got irritated.

---

ok, another great feeling. seeing Mark Shoenfeld's face when i asked him to sign a playbill....then seeing him pull out his own Sharpie.

Theatre related:
A lot, actually.
When Avenue Q won the Tony, I literally fell off my couch. I was really close to dozing off during the commerial right before, and as soon as they announced the winner I snapped back to my sense and literally fell off the couch.
When tickets that you've ordered come in the mail. I think TM Cara has referred to it as "the happy ticket feeling."
The start of an overture.

And... my ultimate, number one, head-in-the-clouds theatrical moment: hearing Adam Pascal sing Glory October 10th. I had no idea what was coming. The look on his face was pricless, the audience reaction was priceless... it was just something I never thought I'd see in person. The thought of it still gives me chills almost a month later.

Sitting in Studio 54 with your hands crossed waiting...just waiting to see Cabaret for the VERY first time.

---

eh, just involved alot of shows ending or closing or whatnot

Sitting in Studio 54's balcony knowing the history that building has behind it. Kinda makes you feel dirty (being in the balcony and all) but it's ripe with stories.
