Phantom 25 was INCREDIBLE!

Hugh Panaro was great, and Sierra Boggess was great, and everyone else was great (except for the people sitting behind us ), and it was all just fantastic! I heard that there's a possibility it was filmed, and I really hope so, because everyone should be able to see it (I'd be surprised if they didn't at least film it so ALW could see it, since he wasn't able to attend). The only not good parts were that Michael Crawford wasn't there and that they didn't have the gift stand open (they replaced it with a free champagne stand for the night).

The stagedoor was madness (and absolutely freezing) and I didn't get any autographs, but I saw a bunch of people getting into their rides to the after party, including Ramin Karimloo. Although we waited for a long time, Hugh and Sierra seemed to have left through a different door and I wasn't able to see them. I did get to meet Davis Gaines, though, and got both a picture with him and his autograph on my playbill! I also ran into Peter Joback during the intermission, but I wasn't 100% it was him at the time, so I didn't say anything to him. XD

I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAS ABLE TO GO! And I also got to go to MoMA earlier that afternoon and see Starry Night! Best day ever!

AHHHH!!! Free champagne?!?! :: whimpers :: Oh, I would SO have taken advantage of that!
Yes, been trying to keep up with all the stuff about it from the Facebook page. The poor Actors have got to be utterly exhausted by now. They deserve the rest.

The champagne was free, but apparently they were charging for the ginger ale.
I'm still trying to catch up with all the internet stuff about it that was posted while I was gone (I didn't have internet access the entire time I was in NYC). XD

It was utterly insane the amount of stuff the facebook page alone put out! Took me the whole freakin' weekend just to even sort through it all! LMAO!!! I swear... someone or several people were posting on Facebook and through their Twitters at practically ever second of the performance! LMAO!!! So it felt like! And not to mention all the times that some members of the cast were on shows for the morning and more. Oh, the poor dears have to be so utterly exhausted!
