| He or she was expressing a feeling, an emotional connection with the piece and the audience. I got that. And believe it or not, I appreciate that. It's just that hyperbole is hyperbole. We currently live in a regime based entirely on hyperbole and deliberate misleading exaggeration. Do we need it here too? I'm sure today's Dolly was wonderful and memorable and special. It was also Bernadette's last day. We tend to get automatically hyped up and nostalgic about moments like these. Because it was the closing performance of her run. Not because the performance itself was millions of times better than usual. If anything, it has a lot to do with the audience congratulating themselves on being at a very special occasion. That's human nature, and I get it, and yes, it's very fun and exciting to be part of that kind of moment. But THAT'S why people stood 6 times - it was the occasion, not necessarily the performance. I'd much rather hear about how the actual performance went. That's all. |

| I appreciate and understand what you are saying, however, IMHO and my my eyes, your response to the original poster was a bit snarky. | |

| Thanks again-someone just posted the final curtain call on you tube-everyone can see the fervor of the audience now. Wish I had gotten affidavits from David Hyde Pierce,Santo Loquasto,Carol Kane and Harvey Evans who were also in orchestra saying how many standing ovations were done all afternoon-REALLY hate being compared to our president and his fake news by some posters!! | |
