It was a real mob scene as the stars strolled down the blood-red carpet at the premiere of the allegedly final season of The Sopranos at Radio City Music Hall, with most of the cast members in attendance. Partygoers got a sneak peek at the first two episodes. Creator David Chase insinuated that this might not be the last of the series. If that were the case, it would no doubt be good news to Edie Falco (Carmela Soprano), who said, "I'm going to miss the cast and the crew and the hundreds of people that I work with."

Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano) was a real paparazzi pleaser, stopping to pose for the shutterbugs in a stunning strappy black number. After nearly a decade of playing Tony Soprano's daughter, Sigler says, "I'm so proud to have been a part of this show…. It has shaped who I am today."

Drea de Matteo was also in the mix alongside her boyfriend, Shooter Jennings; she won an Emmy Award for her role as Adriana La Cerva, girlfriend to up-and-coming Soprano family soldier Christopher Moltisanti (played by Michael Imperioli), before being killed off after 53 episodes.

Also enjoying the evening were Sopranos director Peter Bogdanovich, Lorraine Bracco, Vincent Curatola, Robert Iler, Jane and Dominic Chianese, Vincent Pastore, Aida Turturro, Federico Castelluccio, Aidan Quinn, Tony Sirico, Daniel Baldwin, Veronica Webb, and Stella Keitel (Bracco's daughter with Harvey Keitel).

The electrifying evening made every guest feel like part of the "family."
