BTTF numbers are abysmal this week, ouch! I wonder if The Notebook will close by labor day.

 

When is Heart of Rock n roll announcing their closing date?

That's rough! I wonder if this musical will announce its closing date before Lempicka

Excuse my ignorance, but where is DMV?"

 

DC - Maryland - Virginia area

I wonder if it is something else that hasn't yet announced its tour?"

 

I know there'll be an announcement for 'Once upon a one more time' in the coming weeks, could that be?

Interesting! So the understudy will take the lead role. OUAOMT did the same so that every understudy got the chance to take each role before announcing the closing date

Which led to this perfect gem:



But also this bit of certifiable insanity:



The people attacking the reviews are simply unhinged at this point."

 

 

LMAO!

I thought quotes had to be approved by the person who reviewed it. Are they allowed to 'Frankenstein' phrases?

Production for "Freaky Friday 2" is close to start so that's the reason why they're together. it was rumored last year and confirmed this month https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2024-03-05/lindsay-lohan-confirms-freaky-friday-sequel-jamie-lee-curtis-disney 

Per one of the producers, the cast recording had been planned but could not make it. He also confirmed they're trying to bring OUAOMT to the west end so he hopes for a London cast recording but nothing is confirmed yet.

i wouldn’t be able to choose between Brayben and Scherzinger for Bestactress.

Who knows- maybe Death Becomes Her will give some stiff competition too."

 

Agree! Just the musicals 'Sunset boulevard', 'Tammy Faye', 'Death becomes her' and possibly Mamma Mia revival in 2025 make it more exciting to me!

They're currently advertising as "final weeks" when they're still months away from June 30th. So that gives me the idea it might either close a lot sooner than 6/30 or they want to make audience think time is running out

‘The Notebook’ Review: Broadway Musical of the Popular Romance Hits All-Too-Familiar Notes

https://variety.com/2024/legit/reviews/the-notebook-review-broadway-musical-1235939025/

"The huge fanbase of the romance novel and the 2004 hit film might initially boost the box office, but it will take more than recreating that iconic rainstorm to win over other theatergoers looking for more than clichés, tropes and triggers."

..

 

That's spot on, I don't think this musical will have a long run imo

BETTY22 said: "It's $1,100.000 per week......."

seriously? Oof I don't see a bright future

Thanks for the info! I only know her as part of Destiny's child group, which was basically Beyonce

Can she even act? She was part of destiny's child, right? Anyway, I plan to see this musical in Chicago in May so I'm excited

 

Ugh that was painful to watch! At least they could have tried adding a VHS effect to that music video, it would have looked like an 80s clip. Also, there's nothing rock n' roll in that video. I fear this will flop harder than 'Almost famous' 

 

 

 

 

BETTY22 said: "This is awful. I worry for the new musicals....none have big advances - including Alicia Keys.

Water for Elephants and Stuff are looking to raise extra money to get them to opening night. I wouldn't be surprised if one or maybe more new musicals scheduled do notopen at all.

It's rough out there.........."

 

 

The heart of rock and roll won't make it to opening night imo
