Never in my life did I understand Finale. Whatever the vaunted theme, the audience knows the show is over, and they're all getting up to leave. They're gathering the kids and old folks, looking for their purses and jackets, and they're not giving a rip about this goofy parade. The performers are all in a snit for having to stay in wardrobe for a walkaround their audience doesn't care to notice. Producers insist on staging their "Big Finales", and don't get it that the public isn't looking. Have a strong finish, like your cannon act, thank the crowd, and let's all go home.
I could have gotten out of Finale, Axel and Hugo never did it but Mr. Feld wanted the whole Family. However I skipped it on closing night so we could get the elephants off the lot and headed for the cars before the crowd broke.

Somehow this parade looks backwards
The paying public should be on left

I'll ask again isn't this backwards
Either front or back track seats
should be on the left as the route
is counterclockwise as I recall
For many years Roger most of
the crowd stayed for Finale
Even when the show ran 3 hrs
The whole cast was out there because Elvin did his cannon as Finale.
So did both tracks head to the back door
In that case this would have been front
