Wondering (part 2) - Thank you ITF peeps, Thank YOU. We loved performing at the Lied!

Maybe it's Broadway, maybe it's McLean

Literally this is the best show I've ever seen

I've never seen so much pure talent in one high school musical

Amazing. Simply amazing first half! This is on another level

Thank you entertaining us tonight!! You guys should be proud!

I have never gone from laughing to crying that quickly in a show!!!

That big fish swam in my tears

Just purely phenomenal

I'm loving the lighting design

I just want to shake hands with the leads of Big Fish because they are going places

When you low-key actually saw Katy Perry perform at the Lied.

Find me a man who can do this!! "Give me a wall of daffodils so I know it's real!!"

Thank you so much for the most inspiring and well done show I've ever seen

U all were beyond stunning! don't think I've ever been touched watching a high school production until now!

Thank you for such an amazing production of one of my all time favorite shows.

Definitely the first time I've ever cried in a musical. Hit me hard.

So many emotions. Love the movie. Love the musical. Love you guys.

weeping in our seats like crazy, so beautiful!!!!!!!

So incredible and its only intermission its incredible

Big fish was actually the greatest thing ever. Call me hooked.

If you're emotionally unstable and you know it clap your hands

If a man doesn't shower me with daffodils while proposing, I know he's falling short to Edward Bloom

BIG FISH WAS INCREDIBLE

Wondering what fellow thespians thought about Big Fish? Here's a sampling:

Holy good Lord! you literally slated us like a dragon. We have nothing left but awe and admiration.

Daffodils have never made me so emotionally unstable.

Big Fish is beyond amazing! It's only intermission and I can't even.

There may be millions of fish in the sea but Big Fish is quite the catch.

When is so amazing you can't li(v)e anymore

What lab have they been cooking up the guys for these main stages in?

Also shout out to the girls rocking those aerial silks tonight!!!

Best costumes of the week: the gorillas holding cages w people that were featured for 10 sec in Big Fish.

(More to come)
