Scrubs: The Farewell Tour
I was so excited about tonight and it was the highlight of our trip to Los Angeles for me! We were going to Beverly Hills to attend the "Scrubs" Farewell Tour. We paid a bundle to go to this special event and I couldn't wait to be in the same room with the cast of "Scrubs!" I am a huge fan of the show and I just adore Zach Braff and John C. McGinley, who are the stars of the show. I love them for many of their other films too, so I couldn't wait to actually be able to talk with them. It was going to be an exciting night!
But, before we arrived in Beverly Hills, I had to start the evening off at the "real" Sacred Heart Hospital in "Scrubs." This is the actual hospital that is the working-set for "Scrubs." We had to drive around for a while to find it on the outskirts of Hollywood, but I am glad we did. We also saw the one working ambulance that they use in the show.
After our quick visit to Sacred Heart Hospital, we booked it back over to our Hotel, so we could change into our clothes for our evening at the Paley Center. It took us a lot longer to get to Beverly Hills than we thought it would and it was dark by the time. We thought we were lost, but I quickly spotted the Beverly Hills Hotel and knew we were in the right place!

The Creator of "Scrubs," Bill Lawrence & Zach
We were lucky enough to be some of the first few people to arrive to the Paley Center, so were able to get the sit in the second row of the small screening room. The Cast made their entrance to a round of applause from the audience and took their seats right in front of us. I was sitting directly behind Zach Braff and I was thrilled!
We began the evening by watching an episode of "Scrubs" with the Cast. It was such a surreal experience and everyone was having a great time. It is the last season for the show, so the writers and the entire crew of "Scrubs" was there in the audience. It was a special evening for everyone.
Then, the Cast and creator of "Scrubs" made their way to the stage to be asked questions by the moderator and by the audience. The Cast is just hilarious and they opened up about everything. It really felt like you were sitting and hanging around with your friends.

The Cast got up to leave the stage and we made our exit too, so we could meet with them after the show. They were actually on their way to a Cast Christmas Party.

DH & I wanted to go chat with the Creator of "Scrubs," Bill Lawrence and he was actually with his wife, Christa Miller, who is Jordan on the show. He was so nice and so down-to-Earth.
It was a fantastic evening and a night I will never forget! It was a special moment that will never happen again and I was glad to be a part of it. "Scrubs" is going off the air and now with Writer's Strike, there may not even be any final episodes, so I was glad to have this special evening with the Cast!
More Soon!
