9 to 5 closing date?

Ok, well I'm not the type of guy that means to start speculative rumors, but I saw an interesting tidbit in the Delta Sky magazine today.

The focus of the magazine is on New York, and there was a section entitled "Broadway: Hollywood Hits the Stage" which listed a select 5 or 8 shows on Broadway right now.

In the paragraph about 9 to 5, it read: "Allison Janney stars in this adaption of the 1980 film. Music/lyrics by Dolly Parton. Marquis Theatre, through January 3, 2010."

So that made me wonder- was this merely a typo or error on Sky Magazine's part, or is there another show set on the Marquis in Spring 2010?

I mean, the date would make sense, given January 3rd is a Sunday, and that is a typical Broadway closing date... I personally hope its simply an error though, because I just saw the show this past weekend and was surprised how much I loved it, given all the hate for it on this board and with the critics.

And if you all are wondering if this is really legit, I don't have a link to the article directly since it was in a magazine and I just wrote down the information in my phone, but it was on page 44 of the magazine, and you can try and read it below if you'd like.

It wouldn't be Janney's last performance as the entire principle cast is currently contracted through September 6th.

They won't even start talking about renewing until late in the summer.

They are only selling through the 3rd:

The next block of tickets will problably go on sale in the near future.

Well I interpreted as the stars last day. Because on the Guys and Dolls one it says Oliver Platt and Lauren Grraham star in it through the 27th. And then I assume their replacement will take over. But thats how I think they ment for it to sound.

The Principal cast is signed for a year--starting from when 9 to 5 started their Bway rehearsals.....which was sometime in Feb 09.....Alison Janney has stated in many interviews that she is with the show for at least a year. The January date that you read really makes no sense...Maybe it was a misprint.

Everybody knows Delta Sky magazine always has the inside scoop. Before press agents contact Playbill, even, they tell the real story about closing dates and recasts to Delta Sky magazine, kind of like an out of town tryout away from the probing glare of the bigger media outlets.

manaboutown, that's incorrect.

The cast is contracted a year from the first preview out of town in Los Angeles, which was September 6th.

---

T-39 minutes till a ROA fan comes in and tells of how 9 to 5 will close on Labor Day.

The CR was recorded on May 5th. When you "for the book" do you mean a program or Coffee Table book?

"so if allison is in the show for a year when will she be in the show until?"

Your question wasn't answered?

"The cast is signed for a year from the first public performance in NYC. The LA run of the show was on a completely separate contract. The principals are signed for 1 year from the first public perf on Broadway."

Do the math. Probably till sometime in March/April. I forgot exactly when the show opened.

Well, I really hope it lasts.. We have tix to see it in early December. (I'm also going in a few weeks as well)
