Carousel - the final performance - 20.6.09

Carousel - the final performance - 20.6.09
It’s hard to put into words all the emotions that were going around yesterday but as we all took to our seats & settled down for the final show, we all knew we were in for something special.
The entire cast delivered a performance that was graced with perfection but after the break was when the real emotions began to kick in & show.Alexandra Silber’s tears after ‘Billy’ died were very real
Jeremiah delivered a truly outstanding & heartbreaking performance throughout.But even towards the end,during the scene set outside Julie’s cottage for the reprise of “If I Loved You” then soon after at the ‘graduation’ he was very choaked up & his tears were showing...seeing the pain in his face really set me off (I just wanted to hug him right there & then!)
At the curtain call most of the audience rose to their feet and gave the cast the standing ovation they so richly deserved.Over the last 9 months or so each & every one of them has given their all.It’s been a pure joy to see the show as often as I have done so.
