Na, Lily I agree was crap when I saw her. Seen Gabriela every other time! Anyone else going to the closing on Sunday btw, me and daniel are going together with a friend so feel free to come say hey if you see us (more likely me as he doesn't have a photo on his profile) I'll be there with few friends from Russia. But I'm going to be a teary mess from the beginning so not sure I'll be a proper person to have a chat with

Guys, anyone wanting to go to the Sold Out show tonight, daniel has two spare tickets for the show. I can no longer go due to a bit of a medical emergency earlier today that has left me unable to get to the show so my ticket is up for grabs, just drop him or myself a message and I will get you in contact.

Oh that's a shame. Hope you'll be OK! I'm already going (in the worst seats) with my friend. Hope someone takes them.

Thank you, I'll be fine, just gutted I'll be missing it, been looking forward to it for months! I'm sure they will go, if we can't find someone by social media, he will just take them to the box office. As the show is Sold Out, chances are there will be some people wanting to buy.

From what I have heard, currently at interval, two standing ovations already, and entrance applause for every cast member!

I'm feeling a bit better now thank you, obviously gutted I can't be there but glad my friend managed to find another two people to go to the show and he can enjoy it, that's the main thing.
I'm sure its not the last we have seen of In the Heights anyway.

Yeah, with Lazarus leaving today as well, I assume Google is moving forward its plan to build on the site. Been a fun few years!

Who in the audience won the award for drawing the most attention to their tears? I expect there was stiff competition.

The group who jumped to their feet and started dancing during Carnival del Barrio probably win the "look at me" attention-seeking prize...there wasn't too many tears near me thankfully!

I can imagine that so easily!!! Lol Glad you enjoyed it though. A last night can have an amazing atmosphere, but I just don't understand an audience member trying to make it all about them!

Was a great night and a good atmosphere. Standing ovations after 96,000, Blackout/Fireworks, Carnaval del Barrio and at the end of course.
Massive screams when Lin Manuel Miranda was announced as being there - it felt more of a surprise to me this time than last as I don't think he was in the audience for all of tonight.
The cast were clearly emotional in places but generally held it together really well.
Johnny Bishop's undies just before 'pull your damn pants up' were obscenely tight.
Every little thing got a scream so some lines were missed but it was sweet.

Forgot to say, some of the previous cast were there and waving flags about (as was I). Some of them ran down to the side of the stage at the end to cheer the cast some more.

Jesus, if you want a sense of screaming fangirls, its loud throughout, but listen at 6:20 onward when they start bringing out Lin!

I'm pretty sure I saw a "competition" on twitter the other week between the superfans as to who would clap/scream first at the end of Sunrise

"Oh my God, oh my God" Oh Christ! No wonder he watched the show from the control booth. A position of relative safety for him I expect. To judge by that reaction I'm not convinced that the Moon would be a position of relative safety.

I'm sure he appreciates his fans, but surely he must wonder about some of them.

He's actually been pretty vocal about being frightened by some reactions he gets. Finds it quite overwhelming (quite rightly).

How are these people gonna manage if he does Hamilton over here? I sat second row with him in the cast (to the point where he actually interacted with me and other people around me) and people were enthusiastic but not ridiculous like in that video. And this was the first performance after the Tonys when LMM/Hamilton hype was at its absolute peak.

Thats slightly concerning when usually Broadway audiences are percieved to be the more hysterical ones.
