I find it hard to believe it's still open...

But than again, I haven't seen it.

January 4th sounds like a reasonable date.

Or some date back in October sounds like a good date too.

They could stunt cast the heck out of this show and get the target audience to come to the show in droves (just one Nickelodeon or Disney star and they are good to go). It will be a shame if this show closes in January, despite whether or not a person is a fan of the show, seeing as it was at least trying to get kids in the theatre (onstage and in the audience).

I heard a rumor they were trying to stunt cast a role with a fairly famous kid.

I guess it didn't work out.

I'm surpised it's lasted this long. What is the point of keeping it open until January 4th? They're not going to suddently see some major upsurge in sales.

Kind of sad to hear it close, if only because that makes the tally of shows to close this year even grander (though technically I suppose we can only count closing NOTICES since this, Hairspray, and Spring Awakening don't really close until next year). Still though. (And I'm sure I screwed up on the image, but every other attempt was even more futile)

Don't forget the beloved Xanadu, Title of Show, Rent....and the upcoming Forbidden Broadway, american buffalo and others.

it's amazing to think of the solid shows that in just 3 months time have gone.

times are tough and it shows.

Oh I know, not to mention A Chorus Line, Legally Blonde, Tale of Two Cities...the list goes on and on. I go to New York in three months and I'm really wondering by then what will still be playing.

It's always sad when a show closes no matter if it wasn't the best, makes it even worse now with people losing jobs in all career fields. Best of luck to everyone.
