The line of people hoping to attend today's public memorial for Kitty Carlisle at the Majestic Theatre stretched all the way into Shubert Alley--and not everyone got inside. It seemed that invitees got priority until the noon starting time, and then the general public was given 10 or 15 minutes to get inside before being shut out, perhaps so that the memorial could get underway. If there were still empty seats in the Majestic (1645 capacity), and the doors had been kept open for only a few minutes more, everyone would have been able to attend.
Anyway, I was touched to see how many people had lined up to attend the ceremony. It's just too bad many of those pictured below (and their photographer) didn't get in.
