Who's going to Comet's final performance?

I am! Sitting in the rear mezz for the first time, which means I'll have sat onstage, front and rear mezz, and orchestra by the time it's all said and done.

Who else is going?

I will be at the final 4 shows, sitting in the sunken tavern, the Russian custom seat, table TP, and BC. Excited but also depressed. Going to be a rough weekend for this cometeer.

I will be there! I'll be in the Front Mezz Row E for Sunday's performance, and in rear mezz row D for Saturday night's performance. I originally bought Saturday night when Sunday night was sold out but once I saw that a few tickets had been released for the final performance I pounced.

I will be there! Off to the side in the orchestra. Seeing Scott tonight for the first time (also my first time seeing it from the front mezz, which is stunning, sure wish I got to see Dave from here).

Oh you will love Scott!!! I think after Josh Scott had the best voice.

Scott is wonderful. After tonight I have seen Josh, Dave, Scott and David Abeles (at Kazino), so everyone except Oak. Dave is certainly still my favorite, but they have all been wonderful. Josh exceeded my expectations, but for me I still just love the grit and growl that Scott and the Daves have. I'm so glad I've had the chance to see Dave after missing him downtown, and I wish his Dust and Ashes was preserved. That song still hits me every time. Ugh, I so wish I was sitting in this seat on Sunday! It is like seeing the show anew.

 

I'm looking forward to Scott's second act!

I'll be there in the rear mezz. I saw Scott in Cambridge, then Josh Groban from onstage SA3 (GOD I wish I could have gotten that seat again!) and I'm really looking forward to seeing Dave on Sunday.

I booked this last-minute when some seats opened up a couple of weeks ago so my flight's too expensive and my hotel is a fleabag, but I'm just happy to be able to be there at all.

My boyfriend and I are seeing the show for the first time at the Saturday matinee.  When a few seats got released for Sunday, we jumped on them - we'll be sitting in Orchestra Row J to the left.

I've never been to a final performance before, so I'm excited.  I'm guessing with curtain calls the show will let out closer to 6?

I'll be there!!! Im excited as the energy during the abduction is going to be INSANE, but I'm so sad to see this show go also Scott is probably my favorite Pierre. I was able to see him during his one week stint as well as by surprise this past Sunday, and he truly is wonderful!! I hope you enjoyed his performance tonight!!

Loved Scott's performance tonight. We've been lucky with all the casting for Pierre's (and the show in general), there haven't been any that I disliked in the role. That being said, Dave Malloy's remains my favorite.

 

I knew I had an okay seat for the final performance, and being there for that is going to be special for its own reasons, I'm sure the energy will be kicked up, lots of ovations (heck, the last couple times I have been, the ovations have been incredible), but after seeing it a lot from partial views and the rear mezz, I wanted one last experience with a really great seat. I also wanted to catch Scott's performance. So when a first row center mezz seat popped up the other day, I pounced on it, and it was so worth it. It was like seeing the show anew, I connected with new parts, it was just wonderful. I'm so thankful to have gotten to see this show a bunch more times since falling in love with it the one time I saw it off-broadway. 

 

See you all on Sunday!

I'm going Irish....I'll be in orchestra unless I can get a better location.  I don't see well and I can't climb those stairs to mezz heaven.  I'm also going Thrs and Sat.  I have no life.

I did want to hang by the stage door on Thrs to get cast to sign my GC book as a memory.  Jayelle

I'm going Thrs, Sat, Sun.  Thursday & Saturday on stage....Sun in orchestra.  Perhaps we should wave?  Jayelle

I wish. I went two more times a week ago. If I didn't already have Labor Day plans I would have made sure to be there.

Any BwayWorld folks interested in meeting on Sunday at the theater entrance or inside to put a face to all the messages we've done here?

Eliza2...join my world of depression....I love this show b/c I always feel happy when I leave.  I love watching all the cast.  To play an instrument, dance, and sing all at the same time is incredible.

I hope it will go back to the tent off Bway, but it won't be with this great group.  Hope to see you there Eliza.

I'll be there! To repeat a question from the seating thread, would anyone consider right orchestra toward the back on the aisle better than center orchestra right behind where the stage snakes through? Not sure if being right where the stage cuts through the orchestra would mean obstructed views at any point in the performance or if it means extra performer interaction.

There are also seats available toward the front of the orchestra on the aisle. Would those be a better choice than the back of the orchestra?

Ahhhh, yes....the front is better than the back. The sad thing about orchestra is that you miss half the show that goes on in the mezz.  That's why I love the stage.  I don't have great eyesight, so sitting in row E is like looking at a blur on the stage. Remember, in front of row B, there are tables and than the tavern seats, so row E is more like row J.

The closer to the stage, the better.

Caught Scott tonight, and will be there Sunday. I am in the sunken tavern on stage left, at one of the front seats, very close to Dave.

That is exactly where I sat for the first preview, absolutely loved that seat.

Jealous of all of you who have great seats! I'm bringing 4 people, plus my sister and her husband, so I knew I had to keep costs down and go rear mezz, esp. since this will be my 6th time.  If I were solo, I totally would've splurged on the best seats available.

Do you guys think the stage door will be a madhouse? The forecast now doesn't look good, so I'm doubting my husband will want to brave the crowds in rain.

I was lording right above that seat in the front mezz last night, and was like, yeah, lots seems to happen there!

[hmph]

Posted: 8/31/17 at 9:31pm

Anyone need tickets? I originally bought rear orchestra when that was the only option available, but was able to get seats I liked better. Selling at cost, not trying to make any money here.

Snagged a ticket for tomorrow night, the weekend was sold out and Friday only had 3 seats left in rear orchestra.
