Event

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse opened the show by introducing the cast members present at the event and speaking about their experiences in creating the show. The orchestra was then introduced, led by Michael Giacchino. Seven musical pieces from the show were played, followed by a piece written by Giacchino for the Pixar film Up. Between each of the musical pieces, cast members took the stage and read from letters written by minor or unnamed survivors of Oceanic 815 which, according to Lindelof and Cuse, were composed by show’s writers during Season 1 and placed in the message bottle. After the last musical piece, several members of the production staff were then introduced and spoke while the stage was cleared in preparation for the early screening.
