I'm perusing All That Chat right now and came across an hilarious thread, started by a guy who attended a production of Brigadoon rercently. He was venting because the director changed the ending so that Meg also woke up, and Jeff went back with Tommie. Someone responded "talk about rendering the play meaningless." Other posters started responding with similar director-hijackings and many were quite funny but the best was this:
I once saw a production of FOLLIES where, at the end, the theater suddenly got "landmark" status and everyone cheered.
Happy end!
The curtain came down as the cast reprised "I'm Still Here."
True story.
My jaw was on the ground as the house lights came up.
Man, that's just so perfectly awful!
