| Since seeing Here We Are last week, I haven't been able to stop thinking about the last image we see before the production's final blackout. The experience has made me reflect on other shows that have had powerful closing images. I'm curious to know: Which productions have had closing images that have stayed with you? What were they? I'm thinking specifically of striking visuals rather than haunting lines of dialogue ("I have such doubts") or musical phrases ("The children of Caroline Thibodeaux"). A few of mine (SPOILERS)... Cabaret (1998) - The Emcee and ensemble in a concentration camp where he removes his leather jacket to reveal not his provocative getup from act one, but prisoner stripes with a Jewish star and pink triangle The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? - Stevie standing over the goat's carcass, which she just dragged in, as Billy anxiously looks between his parents The Inheritance, Part 1 - The many "ghosts" emerging to greet Eric in his new home Sunset Blvd. (1995) - Norma reprising the last lines of With One Look in her makeshift Salome costume as a gigantic image of her famous closeup is projected behind her, essentially consuming her Sweeney Todd (2023) - Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett taking hands and jumping into the centerstage trap |
