Your best feeling leaving a show

My best all time feeling leaving a show was - - walking out onto the plaza of
Lincoln Center on a warm night listening to the sound of the fountain after seeing
" The Light In The Piazza " Listening to the cd now brings back that memorable
feeling - - - how I LOVED that show - - - anyone else have special good
memories to share?

"Well that was worth my $111."

After lots of drama, I ended up in New York for 12 hours only with tickets to... THE HISTORY BOYS (sigh)

i don't think anyone really knows how excited i was. it was the most wonderful expierence. i left the theater s o insanely happy, the fact that I didn't get to stagedoor theshow didn't even bother me!

The best feeling I ever had in leaving a show was walking out of the Hirschfeld during the intermission of THE WEDDING SINGER and not returning.

leaving the majestic at phantom.
walking out on purple summer in SA cuz it just sucked.
dancing after one in a chorus line.
laughing at the end of spamalot.
crying at the end of les mis.

=D

Walking out of DRS for the first time and wanting to walk back in and see it all over again.

I had the same feeling for SA, except, I did see it again.. that night. lol.

If you hated it that much, why would you wait till the end to walk out? In the last number? At least be respectful and wait the extra 30 seconds if you waited that long the whole show.

A couple of times, I've seen shows (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Altar Boyz, Wicked, Spelling Bee) and I just walk out of the theatre feeling so giddy and happy. That's a wonderful feeling... :)

hairspray, mamma mia, and the producers, walking out of the theater was one of the best feelings ever. i just felt so full and happy.

So far wicked has been the best feeling i had in the inside after i walked out. Legally Blonde made me all smiley. lol

After SA two days ago I felt very confused after Purple Summer because ehhh i didn't get the ending too -_-... maybe its just me but don't get me wrong i loved SA.

I guess the beauty of musical theater is that you can go to the same show as someone else and have a completely different experience. Lately, one of the best experiences I've had leaving a theater was after seeing Grey Gardens for the second time (not my third and most recent) and being in awe of these two people who were so opininated, unique and most of all true individuals and feeling priveledged to have witnessed that. Although their story can be rather depressing, I tend tofind optimism in it as well.

Overall though, my greatest theater experience was probably at the last performance of Gypsy in 2004. I left thinking to myself, "I will probably never experience such overwhelming joy from the minute the overture started to the last bit of dialogue between Gypsy and Rose".

Edit: After listening to the cast recordings of A Chorus Line and seeing some footage of the original and revival, I have a feeling I will leave the theater when I see it in July wanting to be a dancer which can't bod well because I've tried and lets just say, I'm not a performer! Just a small inkling...lol

"Hello, Dolly!". When Ethel/Carol, Pearl, and everyone else who played the role, came out for the final bow, WOW! WOW! WOW! Fellas.

"The Destiny of Me". Thought about it for a long time after the show was over. It was pretty depressing and very sad so I don't know if I'd call it a "best feeling".

Gypsy1527, I feel the same way that you do about GYPSY, from the minute I hear that

I Had a dream - - a dream about you baby - - it's gonna come true baby - -

Wow, I better calm down - -I love it soooooooo!
