Sh*t. Times are tough, y'all.
I have to say, I'm shocked...
Why????????????
"The producers released a statement saying that the decision to close the show early was made to avoid losses in the current economic climate."
Its a business and its a business half of you shouldn't go into if this is your attitude to it!
I am beyond right now...
PS: none of the people that work at the Helen Hayes know... well I guess NOW they do.
I can't.
I just can't.
Sad. I feel bad for the people who made travel arrangements for October 12. Getting their money back from telecharge will be the easy part. Refunding hotels/flights will be a horse of a different color.
I got tickets for Saturday night. As I said in the now-deleted thread it's more important that my little sister get to see it on stage than be there for the closing.
The only problem is that I'm going to see College at 1pm. I have to get back to NJ after that to get her and then head back up to the city. Fun times.

Well this has completely ruined my day, I only hope I can get tickets refunded and I send my best to the wonderful cast of Xanadu!
This is crazy... and just so wrong

What attitude is that? What are you talking about?

how is it possible that Kerry won't play the last performance? that seems strange. I'm sure she'll be there.

Kerry won't be at the performance? This whole thing strikes me as bizarre.
Kerry could be out for a special reason, if she had a prior engagement. I'm sure this knocked everyone off their rockers at the Hayes!
Now I hear she def won't be there Sat night. She might be back in time for Sunday's last show... who knows. It's all so sudden and crazy and sad
I agree to a certain extent, WB2.
There's nothing wrong with the mezz in that theatre. So, it's not your normal onstage, first 5 row seats. Big freakin' deal. If the show meant so much to you, you wouldn't care where your seat was. Only that you were there.
I guess they should've reserved a block of seats for the real fans.
Any why would you not get a refund BNN? If your tickets are for a date after Sunday, they HAVE to refund it.
You people crack me up.

This is where Kerry is scheduled to be, but I bet she'll stay.

ruined my day
I have my flights booked, my hotel paid for...even my signature changed...I still have a lot to look forward to I guess, sad, sad day
"I refuse to buy another ticket in row O or the mezzanine for Sunday... last performance or not"
I felt the same way - especially if I was going to bring my sister who hasn't seen it before. I don't want her first and last time to be in partial view seat. I found some full price row P center seats online but when I tried to use the discount code they became partial view seats. With ticketmaster you can call and ask for a center seat and then give them the code but with telecharge if you call you give them the code first and they only offer icky seats.
This just in- Xanadu officially closed two weeks ago!

WTF!
I've never had that experience with Telecharge. I have more issues with Ticketmaster

It's not that I am upset that there is no stage seating left; I just find it odd. I found out the show was closing over two hours ago now, ran down to the box office and stage seating was already gone (which wouldn't be too unusual if stage seating was usually sold out on weekends except that there is stage seating for Saturday's performances).
Well, whatever. I got two seats in Center Mezz. I am sad the show is closing, and really hope that Kerry will be present as she really is so genius in the role.
