QueenAlice said: "I appreciate that so many here are speaking from the heart of artists and academics, but truly - credit must be given where credit is due-- an if you think like a producer, you can see the greatness about what they have done here. The people behind this show have taken a public domain novel everyone reads (but most don't really remember) and have fixated on the two things the story conjures in most people's minds: the time period and the opulence.

Jordan Catalano said: "This ran about 2:45 tonight. There's a good 15 minutes that truly can and should be shaved off, which I hope they do during the next few weeks.
Look, is this a great show? No. But do I have a great time watching it? Absolutely. Maleah Joi Moon is a star, plain and simple. And she's never really offstage for the entire showso I truly hope she takes care of herself and her voice for this run since this is a huge undertaking for her. Shoshana Be

yyys said: "Perhaps it was 10 years too late.
A friend who went recently said it was too idiosyncratic. Perhaps there's really no market for this on Broadway. Perhaps the producers thought David Byrne would sell tickets based on American Utopia. Maybe it's the curse of the Broadway Theater."
Agreed.
Too idiosyncratic.
They made a bunch of missteps that have been rehashed here over and over again:

Wayman_Wong said: "I'm so sad the bold and brilliant ''Here Lies Love'' is closing, but I'm also so glad I got to see it multiple times on Broadway and Off-Broadway.
Bravo to the brave producers and everyone onstage and off who brought something so original and unique to the Great White Way.
It will always be one of my favorite all-time musicals, thanks to its thrilling theatricality, amazing music and dazzling design.

Oh I disagree. The producers tried every angle to try to generate sales. I don't think this would have fared ANY better with a different producer, with the possible exception of opening in the spring instead of summer. It might hav eclosed more quickly with a producer who couldn't afford to keep it afloat and didn't believe in it.

The entertainment industry always selects people as they please, and it's a popularity contest. I bet that the sales will go up in any show that let's say Whoopi Golberg joins, because she is famous, she won in this popularity contest called showbiz.

There have been multiple TV performances in the past week, David Byrne is doing late night talk show, I've seen YouTube/podcast interviews with Conrad, Arielle, Jose, they got The Black Eyed Peas to do DJ gigs, they put out new ticketing packages. They're fighting to keep it open. And I hope it works!!!"
