since today is a year since closing, i also wanted to make a not so little thread :)

no show has (or i think ever will be) as special to me as this one. this show provided me with such a home and an amazing community of people i know and love. the show itself was an explosion of positivity and inclusion and im so thankful for its impact

closing night is probably the most special performance ive been to. being in that theater with people who felt the same way about the show as me was insane. the energy was out of this world from the cast and the audience and ill honestly never forget how special that night was.

closing probably couldn’t have come at a worse time for me. i was in such an awful place mentally that took me a pretty long time to get back from and it felt like i was losing a lot of things all at once. but for that night i was able to actually feel happy because i was in my-

favorite place. being around my favorite cast and some of my amazing friends that i got to meet because of this show really did a lot for me during that time. i was feeling awful all the time but that night for a little while i actually felt ok

i miss sponge so much. there have been so many times i wished i could be in the palace again. walking past where it was everytime im in the city is so bittersweet. but im so thankful for the memories i have from this show and i cant believe i went a year without seeing it.

a few shout outs because im feeling soft and nostalgic, one to the amazing people i got to know because of the crazy adventure that was sponge. yall know who you are :) even if we never met in person you still mean a TON to me and im so thankful i love you all so much

to this dude. he knows and you all know how much he means to me so i wont ramble, but getting to support him through sponge and beyond has been the best

(also lets appreciate how different i look from the first time i met him irl to last month at 54b ahaha)

and some special moments from closing i still love and think about a year later (there are SO many but heres some personal favorites):
~ all the entrence applause during bbd
~ seeing people around me doing the pledge in bbd
~ ethan KILLING the note at the end of simple sponge

~ everyone screaming “no!!!” after last intermission ever
~ huge applause after the first NOTE of loser
~ the standing ovation after loser that wouldnt end
~ everyone cheering ethan on at the beginning of best day ever (that one still really hurts)

~ basically the whole theater clapping along during best day ever. maybe best moment from any show ive been to so far
~ everyone cheering when the bubbles came down
~ all the love in that theater during the finale/bows/theme song/speech from tina

so yeah, in conclusion sponge will always mean the world to me and i miss it so much. but im so thankful for the experiences i had while it was around
