Last Thursday and Friday, we performed Max & Ruby for the last two times.
In all actuality, Thursday's show is the one that felt like a real last performance, where as Friday's show was booked in the common area of a Lower East Side school where we (for the billionth time) did the show without its key set-piece.
Still, it was fitting to end the tour where we began it - at an elementary school.
Thursday's show, however, was at the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in Rhode Island, somewhere (I want to say Providence? I think?)... It was a perfect high note. We had two thousand kids singing along, shouting out "super bunny!" and being a generally wonderful audience. To the best of my knowledge, nobody peed themselves during Blue Tarantula, but the screams were awesome. A good way to finish out our run.
Friday's show was also good - the kids were very well behaved and very enthusiastic. My personal favourite was the little guy in the front row who, when Grandma entered to see the play, yelled out "Max, you destroyed everything!"
Yes, Kid Quote of the Tour, I think. It may have deposed the "Save yourselves!" line we heard a couple weeks ago.
Anyway, I took this last weekend to decompress and am going to continue doing that for a few days before I write a sort of "In conclusion..." entry.
It's weird to think that this whole episode has come to an end, but all things do.
