"Fifth of July" This is How It Ends

We did it.  It's done.  I can't be sad because Judy told me not to be.  So I won't be sad.  This last weekend was a doozy.  To say we went out with a bang would be silly because we'd need a sound effect for that!  And sound effects were not our strong point on closing night.  Something broke and we weren't able to have the phone ring all night.  Of course, we didn't know that until the phone didn't ring in Act One.  We thought the problem was fixed at intermission... Until the phone didn't ring in Act Two, either.  So, somehow we invented call waiting in 1977, we randomly decided to make phone calls for seemingly no reason, etc..  It kept us on our toes.  And Chris Carver was literally on his toes by the end, since his shoe completely ripped apart and fell off during his fight with Johnny.  He tried to put it back on for his exit and you could see his toes through the front of the shoe.  He came back on for curtain call with a duct taped foot.

Oh man, what a ride.  These people:

Will be in my heart forever.  This was one of the greatest theatre experiences of my life.  I've never laughed so hard, seen too much and worked so easily before.  Thank you guys.  I love you.

I will leave the world with the following.  This is what we had to endure in the dressing room from the time he put his pants on until he went on stage.  With the emphasis on repeatedly.  Chris had to get the boys ready.  Ladies and Gentleman, the Nuggle Juggle:
