I never understood all the personal nastiness between posters here. After more than a decade posting, I feel it. PhillyPinto, you make this board a substantially worse place. You bring every conversation down into dregs of prodigious stupidity to the point where blocking you would only make half the threads incoherent. Please begin to consider what you are saying before you post.

Whaaaaat??? How have I ruined this thread? Without me this thread wouldn't even exist. We were having a genuine conversation about theatre until YOU came along and ruined it. People answered me seriously. You come out of no where to complain about me so clearly you are just jelousssss.

No, this was just an obnoxious and pointless thread screaming on the main page in all caps. It was impossible to ruin.

"The producers want to stay open for close to a year to help with future tour bookings. It will play thru September and then close."
Lovely. But it still makes no economic (or, for that matter, strategic) sense whatsoever. Losing an million or two dollars before Labor Day is not likely to engender interest.
I'm also curious what this show is going to look like on the road: is it going to be the same money pit it is on Broadway, or is it going to be a stripped down version?

What is your source on this, Dixon? I've heard of ANOTHER holiday show. Weird.

I mean that at least Honeymoon in Vegas had the possibility of being nominated for Best Musical which could have sparked interest. On the Town is way beyond that, and they are still not making their nut.

Honeymoon wasn't nominated for anything, while on the town had 4 nominations. They may not have won them, but they still at least got recognized for be an achievement in theatre. They still got more recognition than hmiv

On The Town's reviews, grosses, and awards recognition have generally been far better than Honeymoon's. A perfectly charming but barely comparable show.

There are some serious timeline issues in the recent replies in this thread.
1. Honeymoon closed several weeks before the Tony noms so it is hard to see how what it had to look forward to plays into the equation.
2. OTT's Tony noms are, at this point, a non-sequitur, because no Tony bump materialized. The show lost a six figure amount last week, a week in which it should have soared. if it ever was going to.
These shows are both total flops that ran/are running beyond their sell-by dates. That one may or may not be better, or that one was more recognized, is meaningless.

Drew and Scary...you two make quite a few valid points in your posts. If anything, I must admire the producers' resolve and tenacity to promote their show. The cast also seem willing to take part in any endeavor to publicize OTT. Whatever the future holds for OTT, they've tried everthing possible to make it successful.

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

lol no they read my posts for information.
We can't really compare Honeymoon with On the Town since Honeymoon in Vegas didn't make it until tony noms, but if it did, they would have gotten a best musical nomination

You're not a Tony voter. You don't know that. Closing did nothing to weaken their Tony leverage. You need to calm down with Honeymoon. It's over. It'll be a lovely dinner theatre show for years to come, and that's it. Also, you were the one comparing them. But okay, babe, keep trying to cover your idiotic tracks.

Saaaaay what??? Then how come everybody said because it closed, it slimmed its chances at being nominated considerably? Clearly it DID in fact lose a lot of its leverage

I don't know? Is everybody on this board a Tony voter? Why did everybody say it was a good show to begin with? Beats me, kid.

I love it when actual AWFUL trolls like Bilbo tell other people to go away. It makes me happy to know that he's still be as stupid as he's always been.
