Clearly "In The Heights " fits right into this category. I also don't think history will be kind to its score either.

With brief explanations: SOUTH PACIFIC: A+ Spot on perfection for television CRY-BABY: A Ironically, the only solid performance by a new best musical nominee. The only new show my mother and grandmother want to go see based off of the telecast. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: B+ For all of the negativity surrounding it, it looked funny and Megan knows how to work the small screen A LITTLE MERMAID: B+ I'm not a fan but every family will be headed there based on that. PASSING STRANGE: B Not the right numbe...

TD Hot: Let's take it offline and bet on that choreography Tony. My boy Ashford has it in the bag.

As a follow up to my last message, what if, just if, Xanadu, PS and ITH split the votes evenly among the Tony voters and then CB slips in there out of nowhere? OH JOY. Chew on that one - let's start a thread. Just think, hell might freeze over that day too. The Boards will be so fun. We can only hope . . .

"Let us know when they win those nominations, won't you?" Well, I'm fairly certain that CB will win one for choreography and A Catered Affair will win nothing. And since pigs are flying according to all of you , maybe it will win the big enchilada. Now that would be a good time, no?

Quiet. What's that sound? It's all of you cry-babies out there in broadwayworld.com message board land. I am thrilled that Cry-Baby was nominated for FOUR - YES COUNT THEM - FOUR TONY AWARD NOMINATIONS! Can't wait to see the cast performing (let's hope) "A Little Upset" on the big show. Will blow everybody else away. Maybe if you all didn't have your panties twisted into such a tight bunch, you might be able to sit back and enjoy a show that is hysterically funny, snarky smart, and just pure ...

singingbackup - what happened to your entire post. I thought you really illustrated the point.

There is nothing wrong with calling anyone a hypocrite based on his/her postings here. I have seen much worse . . .

Foster is a big ole' hypocrite. He is a fan of the show so is irked at the glee of the Board in its negative reception, yet I have seen him gloat over bad revioews for shows he dismissed. Glory Days does not belong in a Broadway house. End of story. Move on.

I'm really not trying to be mean spirited. It seems to be a legitimate question even though I know there are a lot of fans of the show.

J, Why isn't this a legitimate question? There are always threads on this site discussing why or when a show might close, the consequences of a show having low grosses and/or rumors about shows posting closing notices. The reality here is A Catered Affair is a small show with a limited audience, which has become even more limited given the fact that the show was essentially panned. It seems reasonable to present the question as to whether or not the show can last even through the summer.

Based on the majority of negative reviews, just how long do you think the show can last now?

I heard the show is good too based on a run through. . . from stephen3 who "has no involvement in the show, but [his] boss is one of the investors . . ."

This board is a riot. You saw a run through - which leads me to believe you have some affiliation to the show. I wish the show the best, but give me a break. I agree with the other poster here - can we please wait for a preview? You can start shilling then.

It is far off in the distance, but I think I can see patrts of the train wreck now.

I'm not a big fan of the show, but if I were to pick it would be Faith Prince.
