Hey, everyone,
Today was Rachel's last performance in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. At
the end of the show, the cast and producers paid tribute to her and
thanked her for her wonderful contributions, onstage and off.
Below is the copy of a post made on BWW by a fan who saw the show
today:
"Full cast today Great, great show. I still see so many different
things in each show. Jonathan and Norbert especially just throw
something new in for each performance. And Rachel was of course
singing the **** out of those songs. Jonathan grabbed her for a big
kiss out of nowhere in the More We Dance(not where they usually
kiss). Jonathan and Norbert were still totally cracking each other
up. Ooh, and Sara's gotten in on it too...adding in more fun screams
that Jonathan especially responds to, covering up his ears and such.
I got a TDF ticket which was pretty great, side of front mezz. But
the entire first act the 6 dead center seats of the front row were
empty. So I grabbed one to the right of Fred...no one else did...and
had a fantastic time watching act 2 from the first row. I haven't
done that in a while.
Jonathan Pryce introduced Marty Bell who said everyone would miss
Rachel's immense talent and her incredibly sweet backstage presence,
that this is a home for her, and she's always welcome back, and
presented her with a poster/picture...the one of her sitting on the
desk during "Here I Am" and it said something like Rachel York...au
revior, something else in French, and "You came. You conned. You
conquered." It was really cute.
The audience was pretty filled, much more so than the last time I
was there, and they were into it. There was a loong cheer after DRN."
Wish I'd been there!
