| Thanks so much! So much negativity on this board this evening! I was surprised cause I had never seen a standing ovation DURING a show except for Lllias White's Oldest Profession in The Life years ago.Oddly enough this was led by the original Dolly Carol Channing who was sitting 2 rows ahead of me. Hope more of today's audience respond-there were 1460 people there and we were were all in heaven. Thanks again for your kind support! | |

| The Life? Jesus Christ. Fun show. Fun song. But standing O? I guess people were overexcited because she had won the Tony. She's a good singer and all but people are working too hard to convince themselves that they are at a legendary performance if they are standing for that. How do you know all 1460 were in heaven? I'd bet thousands that there were people who were pissed that they had to stand because people in front of them did the same. | |

| This is beginning to get really mean to a poster who made an innocent comment to express his enjoyment of an incredible show and a wonderful performance by a talented actress finishing her run in that show. It also is now mocking other people who have seen shows at which standing ovations stand out in their mind. Since there is no way to know what is going on in people's minds one cannot possibly know what is going on in their minds. One makes assumptions. I don't know if it the current administration and the relentless news commentary on it or the long near heat wave of July but this seems like a particularly contentious thread over an innocent and expressive posting. I suggest we all move on. | |

| Thanks for being so considerate and understanding! Never knew there were so many cyber bullies on this site! Glad to know there are others like you who enjoy theater and could see what I meant from the original posting-it really means a lot. Thanks again! | |

| How do you know all 1460 were in heaven? Weren't they at the Shubert? ;-) Billy Bigelow commits suicide, finds himself at the Shubert. Two usherly friends are there to help guide him back one block away to the Imperial, on the condition that he doesn't hit anyone on the way. Something like that. ;-) |
