Did the actors all have a great time? Did they get choked up at one or at multiple times throughout the performance and that made you choke up and/or cry? Do you wish it could have found a way to stay open longer? Did the audience go crazy when person A, B or C entered and/or exited which made you or them cry? Was it just electric in the Theaters today?

I dunno about that, but all three were on TKTS today.

Were there curtain speeches? It would be disrespectful to the theater as a whole if there weren't.

My neighbor's wife's lover tweeted that someone was taking pictures of Mark Rylance during his monologue and he got all Luponed on them.

^Yes. There in a video of it on youtube, and now there is a autotune/remixed version.

I want to know how the final performance of Zero Hour was! Did Jim Brochu cry? Was there a speech?

Share you memories here!

I don't know what performance this person saw where they claim that Mark Rylance "Luponed" but I was at the last performance today and no such event took place. That said, I was underwhelmed by Mr. Rylance's interpretation of the role. I very much enjoyed David Hyde Pierce and Johanna Lumley and the rest of the cast, but all the hype that has been given to this Valere was lost on me. To have this "La Bete" portrayed as a slacker/surfer dude was just a total misstep to me, I did not believe a thing he said or that he was able to say anything witty or clever.

I was at Night Music. It was such an event. The show was long today, pacing off, and Peters and Stritch completely played to the audience. But it was certainly an event. They brought Sondheim out at curtain and the theater totally ERUPTED. He was visibly moved and had us give a round of applause to Hugh Wheeler. Elaine followed with "Hugh Wheeler, I only changed ONE line." Bernadette thanked and praised the cast. It was very moving.
Will miss this revival!

I was at ITH and the show was amazing the cast gave it 200 percent and there were at least 6 standing ovations during the show. It was truly an amazing night.

The final performance of ITH was AMAZING.
How was the show at TKTS? When they did the lottery they said they only had lotto and SRO left

When I went online to buy tickets all that was left were 3 tickets at premium price and was told there was no Standing Room Available. So I am pretty surprised at that I knew they were doing the lottery.

I knew they'd hold the lotto seats they do for every show
they lotto'd off the SRO spots.
The lottery was crazy
