What does that have to do with it closing? It's been doing fantastic business. I doubt you'll be hearing:
"Oh man, I'm so excited to see Chris Rock! I heard this play was great!!"
"But it didn't win any Tonys"
"Whats a Tony?"
"Some theater award"
"Really?"
"Nope, not one"
"Oh. Well can we get into War Horse?"

good point.
I thought the lack of awards would affect the run on Broadway.
I was thinking they would release an official statement about extending by now.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

Why the snarkiness? Someone has already explained that not all shows which go winless at the Tonys close right after. Someone else has explained it's already been extended. And you get even more snarky. Now here's someone else giving you proof before you get more offensive. I hope this goads you to see it because eventually it will close:
THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HAT Extends Bway Run Through July 17!
2011-05-11 15:35:23 from BWW News Desk
The producers of Stephen Adly Guirgis' hit new Tony nominated Best Play THE MOTHER WITH THE HAT (aka The Motherf**ker with the Hat), starring Chris Rock, announced today that the limited engagement has been extended by three weeks and will now play through Sunday, July 17th at Broadway's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street). Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, the play opened to critical acclaim on Monday, April 11, 2011.
There's buzz of a further extension until mid-September, but yes nothing official yet. Given its good box office, there is no reason to believe it won't make it until at least 3 weeks beyond its initial closing date. OK? OK.

Posted: 6/13/11 at 5:56pmPeople were saying it would close shortly before it opened. Would like to see it extended.

I was referring to the extension to September.
Didn't mean to sound "snarky"
Maybe I should have written "telecharge is no longer selling past July 17" instead.
My bad, I should have added a few Smileys and sad faces so as not to sound rude.
If they do extend again, it should be with another big star! This show is a great intro to theatre for people who would normally not come. :)

No smiley faces needed to not sound snarky. Just don't post things like this:
"OH yeah? Did a little green troll come and whisper that in your ear?"

Meanwhile, last week it took in more than Bengal Tiger... and Born Yesterday combined!
Sometimes people should pause and consider the facts before they pose a question .......

oh, lol sad.
But I think this might have to do with more than the Tony Awards - e.g. not finding a replacement cast.
