The last Bill and Ted Show

[Motherfletcher]

Did anyone else attend the last B&T Show? Anyone see Mini Ted? Santa Claus?

OK, Santa Claus is a tall park guest that was at the Ultimate Horror Party the opening night in a Santa hat to go with his white hair and beard. He was also at the last B&T so I thought someone would have noticed him.
Miniature Ted is about a 10 year old park guest that dressed like Bill in a black suit, high top tennis shoes, white face with shadows under his eyes and attended quite a few B&T Shows. I was told he went to the early ones so he could get home and get to bed for school. He was at the last B&T and I had to quiz him just to see if he was authentic.
"Who was Noah's wife?", I asked.
With a smile he answered, "Joan of Arc!"
"Correct!"
He sat across the aisle from where we were in the RIP reserved seats. In front of him was a guy from the HNN Vault that I had to warn about Weird Al. Weird Al went in the stands for the last song and interacts with the person sitting in this guy's seat. I knew all to well because Al got me two nights before. He starts with a friendly handshake and proceeds to bump and grind on you in a most unexcellent embarrassing display. I was right because Weird Al totally violated this guy.
The last B&T has historically been a little more risqué and the actors say and do stuff that they have wanted to since the beginning. What are they going to do? Fire them?
My Tour Guide, Deanna, from the night before sat in front of me which was great because we both knew when the cast was ad libbing. Her tour group were jerks anyway. Half had left because they said that they had already seen B&T. They had won the RIP tour in a contest and earlier heard me talking to Deanna and her saying that she was tired. I heard them say, "Oh great! Our guide is tired!" Our Guide, Chris, was on the other end of the row. She was tired too. Both had worked doubles. Both are so good at what they do that they could give the tours in their sleep anyway. Sleeping was out of the question at this show though, because the place was electric.
When the Dunder Mifflin manager and the Nerds came out the place erupted. The girls that did the sign language signing were on my favorite list from the first night and the opening dialog had grown to push them to sign more and more cuss words. I remember the first time he tried to get them to sign "Tailpipe". The girl's look at him was priceless. I was told that they tried a guy as half of the signing team at one show but that just didn't work. Some of their team signing was borderline erotic.
Bill and Ted came out in the dark during Cecil's monolog which was great IMHO. When Britney came out the boys hopped their chairs so far away that they were out of the spotlights. So far that you could hear Britney laugh because she didn't know whether to chase them or stay under the spots. Britney stayed pretty true to the script but managed to stray when she started making out with her evil Bacardi Rum finger. Lindsey was all over the floor snorting lines. 300's Screaming (I am Screaming) told Paris that his hot 6 pack was an eight pack. The Indestructible Cheerleader dummy fell on the wrong side of the wall and Dr. Doom jumped it and started beating it like it owed him money and then threw it over the wall. Michael Myers wasn't the normal tall belly dancer but a shorty that they all poked fun at. Dateline's Chris Hansen, To Catch a Predator, segment went over the line when he jumped Mr. MyBolognahasaSecondName and started making out. The biggest laugh I had was from the finale when the blond gay pirate grabbed the leather bra of the busty Cherry. She didn't know what to do and looked at his hand then back to singing and back at his hand.
No one wanted to leave when it was over and the standing O lasted forever. The cast was taking photos with everyone. Britney was crying and everyone was hugging and kissing. I wished that my son could have been there because he has always liked B&T. I was glad that I got to see it.

Sorry I missed it! Some day we'll get to the last show!

Did you do back-to-back RIPs?

Did you do back-to-back RIPs?

Yeah, when you go by yourself you have a little extra cash!

I was there too, the last show is nothing short of amazing for HHN fans. Even the line outside waiting was singing along to neil diamond before the show. The crowd was the most I've ever seen it into it, and I was up by rocky for the last show.

I came down the center after the show and talked to a few of the cast/crew afterwards, some of which were in tears, and got a few pictures myself. (I did not take this, but, This video shows the very last bit of the last show. )

It's very apparent everyone there loves what they are doing, and the last one is a crazy fun experience with a lot of fans, friends, and more just having a good time.

I said hello to a very tired Chris too. (Once in MIB, and after the show), but I was not RIP.

I watched the clip last night because they block stuff like that at work. You can see Mini Bill when Ted picks him up at the end. Great clip!

Neil- Sweet Caroline...
Crowd- Bum, Bum Bum
Neil- Good times never felt so good...
Crowd- So good, so good, so good!

I forgot to add that after witnessing Rosie and Donald kissing that B&T puked and the Techs kept it going and going... Bill says, "I thought I'd never stop puking!"

I'll have to remember to catch the last show next year. Walking around the park on that last day was so surreal. It reminds me of how we used to go to Wisconsin Dells every Labor Day weekend, the last weekend the water parks were open, and a weird air of finality hung over everything. Even with as much as we managed to go, I am already going through HHN withdrawal.
