If last night was anything to go by shes gone up another gear. Little bit of emotion too in For Good as well. Expect fireworks.

Is it weird that I've just got goosebumps after reading that, imagining how amazing it is going to be?

SO EXCITED!!! It's going to be emotional!

I don't think I'm quite emotionally prepared for tonight! Especially at how Rachel is going to be. Every time I see her I think how did she go up another gear? So I can't imagine what she's going to be like tonight.

I am not going today but I remember last year at Louise's last day Rachel turning up at the stage door before the matinee already teary and could't stop .. she apologised that she was too emotional and that wasn't even her last show ! Hope you all enjoy the shows today.I look forward to reading the thread and seeing what they did in the muckup matinee.

i wonder if Louise will be there tonight ? I am laughing at the memory of the "Get a grip" she painted on her fingernails to stop her and Rachel crying!!! Wonder what Rachel will do today ?
Hope Rachel has a ball. I will miss her loads. Looking forward to reading all about it, and wishing I was there.......

How exciting!!! I'm on the train to London wahoo!

Some of the muck ups in the first half
A long "look, it's Glinda"
Rachel doing an Irish jig in TWAI
A lisping Avaric
Fiyero dancing with the ensemble whilst Morrible gives Galinda the wand
A hilarious popular where Galinda offered Elphie the wand after it didn't work (rachel struggled to keep it together at this point), glinda reached up to a high shoe shelf and retrieved a huge pink flower that she put in Elphie's hair, and Rachel on her exit from the scene did a stop, look back and roll over the bed

Ones i forgot from the first half- when Galinda did her I'm feeling feint, I didn't get my way, there was no-one there to catch her fall

The standbys and some other cast members sneaked on top right (in character) to watch Dancing for Life

From the second half- When Fiyero asked for water, the guard asked if he wanted still or sparkling

The tin man did a hop skip off stage

And Rachel held her back in a pregnant woman walk in all walking post trap door

She looks like she's going to be very busy in 3 months time, possibly less! Really glad I got to see her one last time

[Emg]

Oh, and I forgot the "you wretched brat, look what you've done, I'm melting!"

I've just seen on Twitter that Rachel changed the words to I'm Not That Girl as a tribute to Louise as well:  she sang 'there's a girl I know, you'll love her so, I'm not that girl'.

Lovely touch, sounds like it was a great matinee overall!
