ALW’s 43 year streak on Broadway ends today. Still odd walking past The Majestic with no signage or any sign “Phantom” was ever there.

Final performance today. I do feel for the cast/crew. So much hype and just seems to have been over in a flash. I also feel for the cast/crew, because I don’t like anyone losing their job. But they should have seen this coming when they signed up! |

^ I'm still amazed that it transferred after the shambles of the 'costly mistake.' But I suppose it's a job!

I see the previous leading lady put up a gushing Instagram post wishing the Broadway cast well on their last performance. In true CHF style, she managed to make the post all about her originating the part with photos of her in the role.
Considering she liked a tweet gloating about the closure date less than a month ago I’m not buying any of the well wishes.

But they should have seen this coming when they signed up! They may have had an idea, but probably joined to at least get some work. From what I understand about Broadway (from what people have told me) is that there are a lot of struggling young actors over there, as it is very difficult to find work, compared to over here where the opposite seems to be happening, at least from what I've noticed. They probably saw this show as an opportunity to finally be out of work, only for them to sadly be back out of work after tonight. I want nothing but the best for all the cast and crew of this show and I hope they all go on to do bigger and better things in the near future. |

I am hoping and praying that Malloy brings Grace over for The Witches.

Was there a 'costly mistake' style speech at the last performance?

Was there a 'costly mistake' style speech at the last performance? The costly mistake quote was in direct reference to all the money he sank into a production that was clearly struggling. His pride and ego made him carry on with ‘his Cinderella’ during a pandemic when it was clearly folly to do so. The cast who were already unhappy chose to jump on that quote. Nothing to see here. Looking at the positive comments by the Broadway cast I think they haven’t had the same ‘issues’ some of the west end cast did. |

Just to say I saw this last Saturday night, I’ve already let you all know I love this show!
It was utterly brilliant & still think it’s so sad the Imperial is dark & it deserved to play longer!
I did stage door and the buzz & fandom was so fun to be a part of!
