Predict when Shows Will Close...

Memphis - Fall 2012
Book Of Mormon - 2016
Wicked - 2018
Lion King - 2018
Phantom Of The Opera - 2014
Jersey Boys - 2015
Mamma Mia - 2013
Chicago - 2013
Nice Work If You Can Get It - 2013
Ghost- Summer 2012
Evita - 2013

Think Mempis will make it until Pascal and Glover contract ends in October. I don't believe "Book Of Mormon" is one of theose "iconic" type shows so another fours years sounds right. It seems hard to think "Wicked" would ever close but I think it is showing a little sign of slowing down and is rarely at 100% anymore. Giving it another 6 yrs which would still be a amazing run. I feel the same way with "Lion King" as "Wicked". "Phantom" has had to do creative marketing and price discounts for years and believe it may be time to move on at the Majestic after 26 years. I am actually surprised "Jersey Boys" lasted this long, was not sure how it would do after the amazing original cast left. Three more years seems reasonable to me for this show. As for the new shows, don't see a long run for any of them unless word of mouth can't overcome the reviews.

I remember when people were predicting that CHICAGO would close in 2007. It'll still be here by 2013, folks.
