Tonight was crazycakes. I mean, they pretty much went all out for Theo. Inserting little things here in there including probably my favorite "Holiday" ever. When Theo got on top of the bus, everyone else yelled "King of Fuck." When Theo came out during "Homecoming," he already was already tearing up. By the time "Whatsername" started, Gerard was losing it. Then Ben. Then Declan. Esper as well. Johnny's got a bit emotional during his monologue at the end. And then there's the encore. The beautiful, gorgeous, hilarious encore. My video is having a hard time uploading but my friend posted this and she was next to me: Billie, Johnny and Esper performed "Walking Out On Love" by The Exploding Hearts for Theo. Such a great send-off for such an entertaining performer.

More from awesome ToniAnn Well, among other things is why I love Billi Joe so much, he doesn't let you down with his fans in this weather neither !

So many amazing pics!! Thanks, y'all!

i love him!

I'm glad my dumb mistake amused you. I think everyone made that mistake initially, myself included.

Here's a better video from my friend: Yes. Of the original females leads, Becca will be the only one left after Christina leaves.

he's too nice, too cute, too wonderful for this world

If you've never seen the show before, mezzanine is a great view. It's the middle level of the theater. The front of the Mezz is best - it overhangs at about the 9th row or something so you are close. Those tickets are still over $100, though, at least back to the middle of the Mezzanine. Back of the Mezzanine is still good, though, and better (to me, anyway) than back of the Orchestra. Those tickets should be less than $100, maybe 70-ish? Balcony front rows are surprisingly good, but don't go there if you have a heights issue. I am not fond of the Orchestra unless you can score an aisle seat so you can lean out and see stuff. I've always had some bonehead in front of me blocking my view during the show when I have sat there. If you want to go really cheap, look for partial view tickets...those are maybe $37? Try to get left side partial view, you miss too much of Billie Joe on the right side since he comes in on the right. It's not like you miss a ton, though, still excellent views. And I think most shows (although maybe not the weekends?) have student priced partial view seats also. You buy those day of show at the box office starting at 10am or so. Not so much the money (although surely that helps too) as better roles. Joshua Henry, the original Favorite Son, left for a starring role in Scottsboro Boys, also on Broadway. It got great reviews, but not ticket sales and sadly closed in a really short time. I imagine they do get tired of doing the same show night after night, too. It's not like a TV show, where it's different for each production. And, of course, I didn't mention that most of them have been rehearsing this whole thing since probably Spring of 2009. So, they have been living and breathing it for nearly two years now.

Thanks for all the video and audio of Theo's last show. Awww, love how they sent him out in style. I believe they are under contract for a certain amount of time to begin with. But it's neither in their interest nor the producers to have them under contract for years. If the play is a huge money loser and closes early, presumably the play would still have to pay the actors. And, if something awesome comes along for the actors, it would be a shame if they were committed to two years of a play and had to pass on it. Remember, most of these guys have been with AI since September 2009 in Berkeley, so that's a considerable time commitment and a move across the country!

My video:

About the cold sore, my mom got one this week and I was like, "Billie has one too!" then I thought wow, what have I come to...cold sores are now references?? ^ Billie saliva
