The 2006 Broadway revival of ''Theatre/TheThreepennyOpera'' also nixed the curtain call.

One of the best ways you can end either a show or a series is to have all the characters all come together in such a way that summarizes the entire show. The order in which they appear is generally minor or tertiary characters first, then characters that were more important take their bows, and the progression repeats until the major characters take their bow.
