This is a bit more specific - and stoked by a vague memory of a uni student who once told me their cast was a mess for the last performance of "Antigone" lol.
The thing I kind of like about the last performance is the final applause where all sorts of flowers and gifts are brought out . People give gushy thank-yous and parents and senior performers cry.
I've never actually gone to an opening night though. I think because I know restaurants and such aren't very good when they first open. Staff forget tables, dishes are hit and miss etc. I like to give a place a few months before I go. Some others like to go the first night and then tell people how awful things were lol. I'll try an opening night to see if the atmosphere is different.
One big problem I see concerns the male actors. They aren't up to the level of women - at least in the musicals. I think a lot of the musicals I've seen were chosen because there are a lot of female parts.
