Some things from Taylor’s last show
I was in the mezz so I’m sure I missed some stuff but god, what a special show.
The audience was electric.
Applause at every entrance but ESPECIALLY her Meet the Plastics entrance.
She started crying during Someone Gets Hurt (as did I).
She went hard on the end of Fearless like damn.
In her treadmill scene with Mrs. George, she just broke and couldn’t stop laughing at Jenn and Jenn just encouraged it. It was amazing and hilarious.
She screamed for an extra long time after finding out about the Kalteen Bars it was so good.
WORLD BURN WORLD BURN WORLD BURN
The applause at the beginning and basically every time she opened her mouth was amazing.
All of it was just. SO. GOOD. but especially when she belted “mean” before the fight break.
You could tell this is where it was really getting her.
She didn’t belt the last “I wanna watch the world burn,” she just kind of said it and her voice was just so full of emotion and then she stopped and sobbed for a second and got a standing ovation.
This is also where everyone else started really losing it. During the gym scene before the apologies, the girls were struggling. Collins had to put her head in her lap to get herself together at one point. And Maria (who was on in Becca’s track) was actually crying during her “I wish we could all get along like in elementary school” speech.
The bus was just a little bit late but she had to keep yelling at Erika so she told her to shove her apology up her “fat, hairy pussy” on a Broadway stage. It was truly incredible. She apparently apologized to Tina Fey as she ran backstage to change.
The whole Spring Fling scene in the bathroom you could tell her and Erika were struggling not to just sob.
Taylor did not even look at Erika until she absolutely had too.
Erika tossed Taylor the piece of the crown that she normally throws to Riza.
Krystina and Taylor’s goofy Spring Fling dancing was extra on point.
During the part in Stars where all the principal girls sing together, Erika and Krystina just kept hugging Taylor.
Everyone squatted and did a drum roll for Taylor’s bow.
Tina came out and surprised Taylor with flowers and alcohol, which Taylor chugged.
The entire cast went hard tonight, honestly. Like no one ever slacks at Mean Girls but you could tell tonight was special and different.
Taylor was so, so gracious at the stage door. She signed for everyone and took pictures and talked to people and was just as lovely as ever.
I feel so, so lucky to have seen Taylor as Regina 4 times now but especially to have been at the August Wilson tonight.
