I will miss him. Trying to decide if I want to see his or Giuseppe's last.

Neil took part in the Westport, Connecticut gala honoring Bernadette Peters on Monday evening:

All the best to you, Neil, for your final performance as Michael this evening. Wishing you great success with all your future endeavors.

Have an awesome final show Neil! I actually saw Neil along the Broadway Cares Flea Market today with Ben and Giuseppe. They were talking to the us (the buyers) about how it was Neil's last show (and that there would be tears!) and how Ben was moving onto the tour. best of luck to Neil in everything!

Happy Trails, Neil - and thanks for the memories. You were a great Michael.

Yes, quite a few of us have very fond memories of seeing Neil as Michael. He was excellent in the role!

Not only was Neil an excellent Michael but, at just over 13 months, he was the longest continuously running Michael in the Broadway production. Well done Neil!

Through a series of fortunate events, I was able to help give Neil a GREAT sendoff last night at The Imperial. Will post a review in the September reviews area today or ASAP this week. He will be missed greatly but I'm sure his talents will bring him many more exciting places going forward!
