Closing Great Bway Shows

by


It is so sucky when an amazing show closes. Right now, there are several shows closing and I feel like I need to give a moment of silence for each one. Have you ever attended the actual closing day of a show? I have not. The closest was Xanadu and I saw that the day before it closed. I got emotional at their bows because I knew it was their last few days. Sad. It’s just plain sad.
I don’t know if I could handle a closing of a broadway show if I was in it. Right now, I have yet to be on a broadway stage. I have yet to hear the applause from the huge audience. I have yet to feel the warmth of the spotlight.
That’s what those performers are getting. They are on that beautiful stage experiencing the dream. Even if it’s not what they expected it to be, they are still on a broadway stage. … and now it’s ending for many fantastic performers.
It is super sad.
I doubt any of the great people who are working on Broadway are reading this. But if anyone does read this blog and their show is closing, my heart goes out to you … and I am totally jealous cause you have lived my dream.
