Hunter Parrish's Last Show

[Ejm105989]

Just wondering if anyone is going to see Hunter's last Godspell show tonight

[Vagabond Anarchist]

Wish I was going to be there -- just saw Ken Davenport's tweet about how people had 2 last chances to see Hunter live... and it was almost enough to make me want to go out and snag a ticket. But I just saw it 2 weeks ago, so am going to save the cash.

Will be curious to hear from anyone who goes, though!

Also, here is Hunter Parrish's "exit interview"

To be honest, it would hurt too much to go.

[SueleenGay]

He'll come again.

Saw yesterday's matinee and Hunter got quite a bit of applause on his entrance.

My friends and I visited with him backstage after the show and he didn't seem too positive about returning to the show. In his words, "There's only a slim chance and it depends on contracts".

The show will be gone by the end of the summer, which is around when Parrish will be wrapping filming on WEEDS. He won't be back.

[Dollypop]

Don't plan on GODSPELL ending after the summer. It's a Ken Davenport production and he'll find ways to keep it running.

[Producer2]

We're not going any place!

[Dollypop]

Good to hear that, Producer2. This production of GODSPELL is one of the most exhilarating--and moving--productions I've seen in a long time!

Long live God!

I agree, Dollypop- I saw it a couple weeks ago and honestly enjoyed it most out of my four show vacation weekend (Once, Evita, and Starcatcher were the others...). All were great, of course, but I just felt something special in Godspell (and I'm atheist... lol).

[somethingwicked]

Short of physically forcing audiences to purchase tickets, Ken Davenport won't be able to do anything to prevent the show from shuttering once a fall production readies itself to take the theater for the onslaught of the new season.

^ word.

[PlayItAgain]

@somethingwicked your so wrong its scary.....

[Dollypop]

Oh yeah, the unique configuration of the Circle in the Square stage is going to make it the first choice for every show heading to Broadway this fall!

[somethingwicked]

So's your grammar, PlayItAgain.

[blaxx]

They're doing 2 for 1 for most of April and May. They can afford to do so, as Godspell is the biggest Broadway hit ever.

Long live God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tazber]

Is it true he'll be doing faith healings after the show?

[broadwaydevil]

Somethingwicked - its you're grammer. Get with it.

[PlayItAgain]

even doing 2 for 1 their running cost is disgustingly low. If anything their gross will pick up over the summer.

[Ejm105989]

Only time will tell.

[Dollypop]

Ken Davenport posted some beautiful photos of Hunter's last bow on Facebook. It seems as though the cast gave him a lovely--and emotional--send-off.

[FindingNamo]

Dollypop is the Tim Tebow of Jesus musicals!

DP:I don't see any new pics in Kens Facebook. Am I looking in the right place?

[PlayItAgain]

^um, what?

[Ejm105989]

Go to the Godspell main FB page. The final show pics should be there.
