more reviews

Was at Opening Night also, up in the balcony with a very loud and proud and loving group of fan-boys. *word*

By the end of the night, my throat was dry from the over-abundance of screaming and cheers following literally every song, actor-entrance, and self-referential joke.

I've never experienced a Standing-Ovation before the end of a show. At the end of "Nine People's Favorite Thing" the balcony leaped to its feet... the applause lasted and lasted... subsided then waved into an uproar when the "get to your feet" vibe spread down to the mezzanine and then the orchestra. A full 2 minutes of applause.

Starting with Susan and spreading down the line, their smiling faces just shattered into tear-streaked weeps and beat-red unbelievability. They finished the show in complete euphoria. Michael Berresse came to the stage, also a hot tranny mess. Everyone on Cloud 9.

I've had Most Beautiful (Sunday), Most Emotional (Sweeney) and Most Hit-Home (Spring Awakening), but [title of show] heralds the Most Euphoric platform. Utterly amazing moment to experience, as a fan both of their journey and original theatre.



*ahem* Mister WannaBeAFoster, Andy, just from WHOM did you learn about that special Opening Night Playbill distinction??? :)


Ummm... It TOTALLY just occurred to me that the Power 5 all have B last-names! Bell, Berresse, Blackwell, Blickenstaff and Bowen... plus some Pressgrove on the side!

Friends: I just clicked through 270 photos of [title of show] Opening Night (backstage, curtain call & party) taken by the incredible Peter James Zielinski... and they are magnificent. He captured some breath-taking and joyous moments. I don't know when they will be posted on BWW and elsewhere, but patience, because it'll be worth it!

Thanks you guys for the answer about the opening night playbill and the after party. I thought it was real because in LA I attended Annie the day after opening night, and I got a playbill with that sticker on there (I guess they had left overs).


Susan looks beautiful. I agree with other posters here about the audience's response. AMAZING! I've never had that experience and I glad I did, and it was with [tos].

[tos] love!

Can someone tell me about the voice mail messages bit or PM me if you dont want to spoil it please.....I LOVE The [Title of Show] Show but I am never going to get to see it living in a diferent continent and this intrigues me :~)

Pretty pretty please? thanks

Oh my god those pictures of Hunter crying made me MELT!
Heidi is SO beautiful
2 days until i *finally* see it :)

Heidi is a knock-out no question about it, but Susan looks beyond fabulous too, and her dress is just absolutely AMAZING!!!
I'm loving the photos and just itching to go to the show again :o

I almost lottoed today because I was in the area but I had kind of a lot of stuff with me (had just gotten off a bus at port authority) and none of my local tosser friends were free so I somehow managed to restrain... but boy was it hard. haha

Wow... those pics came out fabulous!
They all were so amazing and looked like the kids in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory...
[wr hearts tos]

PS: I finally found this pic and all my gnerds will giggle too

So I've (sadly) only been able to listen to the CD, and I'm DYING to know the song changes that were made.
I've looked all over the place online, and can't find them.
Can someone list any of the changes they remember?
Thanks!
