What Final Performances Would You Had Loved To Seen

Posted: 12/11/05 at 9:43pm

Since Movin Out closed today I was wondering what shows would you had to loved to see on it's last performance? For me it would be:
1. Movin Out
2. A Chours Line
3. Les Mis
4. Boy From Oz

I was actually at a number of these final performances, you can usually get tickets to them. You should go if you want to see a show close and you're in the area, closings are awesome.

I would have loved to see Idina's last day in Rent.
Or Sutton's last day in Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Or the last performance on Les Miserables.

Jennifer Holliday's last performance in Dreamgirls probably would have been pretty mindblowing.
I second Bernadette's last day in Into the Woods.
I'd love to have seen Raul Esparza's last peformance of tick, tick... BOOM! as well.

ETA: Also, Michael Crawford's last performance of Phantom

Definitely seconding Jennifer Holliday's final Dreamgirls (Broadway) performance. There must not have been a roof on that theatre after that show.

I would also like to have seen Daphne Rubin-Vega's final Bway performance in RENT.
Closing night of the Rocky Horror Revival
Closing night of Taboo
Ellen Greene's final performance in Little Shop
