Yesterday was a sad day on Broadway. cry

Glad Ashley was able to be part of "Hairspray's" finale.

It all makes sense now. No wonder she burst into tears. That is a whole lot of goodbye to Amber V and goodbye to Sandra D all in the same day.

That was a lot for her to take on! Very emotional! I'm glad she was able to be with her Hairspray family!

How wonderful for Ashley she was able to attend part of the Hairspray finale. I'm sure that moment was very emotional for her. She was saying goodbye to her Hairspray family i.e.friends and everyone who participated in the production of that great musical. This was Ashley's Broadway debut and she will forever be grateful for the opportunity they gave her.

Hairspray's Final Show was yesterday at 3:00. Grease had their first show at 2:00. When Grease's matinee was over, Ashley jetted five blocks to the Neil Simon and got there at intermission. She was able to see the whole second act, and then was invited on stage to share in the bittersweet ending to "Hairspray."

All the Producers, Director, Writers and Choreographers were all there and took turns addressing the audience after the final bow, with all the actors, past and present.

Ashley then returned to do her final performance in "Grease."

Below is a picture of Ashley on stage. No wonder her tears were flowing yesterday!

Thanks for the memories Ash!

Thanks for sharing this great picture, Bumble Bee! smile

I'm so glad that Ashley was able to join the other cast members of this wonderful show onstage! She was so great as "Amber!" And of course, as "Sandy!" I'm sure it was quite an emotional day! I am praying for her as she moves forward in her career. I know that I will be following her career. And I believe that wonderful things are ahead. aww

So much excitement in one day! I wish I had been in New York to see at least some of it.

Wonder if Jenn Gambatese was there? She was in Hairspray for two years and played Penny when the first performer left.

There is one of her at the after party. She looks so cute with her baby bump!
