This isn't getting much buzz, is it?  I've got my tickets ready, but am surprised there aren't more social media posts, or other "buzz" regarding this.  With the lack of updates, and the bad photoshop/color choices on websites, I'm a pinch worried about this.

They HAVE to get it right this time, or the press will have a field day! 

Whatever the reason - good riddance to that snarky old goat.

Was this a limited engagement? It seemed to be selling very well, was surprised it closed so quickly.
Is this something that could tour? Or work in regional theater?  I so want to see this so very badly!

I know this is scheduled to close, and there haven't been any official announcements about what is "next" with it, if anything.

 

Is there absolutely no way this show could tour, do they not want to do that?  Are the video screens too "large"?  Aside from the video screens, there isn't much set, does it not seem like it would be easy to pickup and move from city to city?

Congratulations to all on a successful closing!  This will, apparently, bring a certain someone a lot of joy. Kudos and  congrats!

 

I do think this will do well on tour, it will attract the senior crowd who "knows" Betty Boop, musical fans, and those who just want some pleasant "fluff".  I can't wait to see it...on tour.  

Was that the Netherlands version slightly more recently, did I read of that?

"And then you start to question why Radames was ever with her since the power of royalty never seemed to appeal to him"

I wish questions like these were still relevant. In this latest version he wasn't even with Amneris nor with Aida. They didn't need men.

Williams butchered all character arcs, texts, storylines, build-up of the show, the songs, everything. She demoted the book.

Flying up next weekend to see it again!  I am obsessed with this show.

Oooooh weeeee.  I loved "The Prom" as well.

Spiderman-Turn Off The Dark:  After all that went on during this production, I just had to see the show for myself.

We thought it was a lot of fun, like a rock concert / train wreck, you just couldn't look away.

 

Bridges of Madison County- gorgeous.  

Yes, this.  Ignore, disregard.

Hard to blame mrshowbiz at this point. They are clearly unstable and you all still engage! Remarkable."

 

Jasmine Amy Rogers for president! #diva #obsessed #chillPeople!

 

 

Well, I gave in and came back to NYC.

I thought BOOP! was a lot of fun.  Jasmine is mega-talented, and an absolute joy to watch. She lights up the theater!

Trust me, after the dark Sunset Blvd (which I think I liked-not sure yet lol -still kind of shook), and the disappointing Redwood,  this sort of lighthearted show was warranted.

It was silly and stupid and just....lovely fun.

An overly long, bloated musical with some of the most gorgeous songs ever - 

I saw this in Atlanta during development a few times.  Sherrie and Heather were phenomenal.  The Radames fellow, not so much.  Later I saw the show a few times on Broadway, and it was improved upon.  I **LOVED** the reincarnation theme at the end, much improved on the wonky Atlanta ending.

I would SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO love a revival of this! 

 

I wonder if "Dear One" made the cut?  It's amazing.
