I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I know it wasn't doing too well, but I must say it's a bit of a surprise.

It's about time. I'm sure it will tour well, but the show didn't really do much for the show or for Broadway. It wasn't anything new. And I think this season has proved how well an innovative new staging of a classic can be.

Although I'm sad to see it go, I really agree with RentBoy.

I'll see it in Boston this fall anyway.

Sad but true ... it would've been nice to see the show through fresh eyes rather than nostalgic ones. And I get to see the tour in August.

It had a good run, congratulations to everyone involved.

I'm sure the tour will be successful, and it'll probably even go non-eq for a second go-around.

Now, one of the 12532872947659 new musicals coming in next year can have a theatre.

Aw, this is sad. I am going to miss it so much. I will have to see it a few more times before then.

Wow. Didn't expect that. That's sad. I love Natalie Cortez, hopefully we'll get to see her in something new soon.

How sad I will most certainly have to see it again while I'm in NYC for the Tonys.

Wow. I didn't see that coming at all...as someone who was not alive during the original run, this production was one of the most, if not the most moving experience I have had in the theater. What a magnificient show. It will be missed.

There's a lot I am not certain of...

The tour has half-price tickets already in L.A. It has since it opened for a limited run.

This is sad. I had a chance to see the revival twice. At least it recouped its investment and will play through the summer!

i was just talking to someone today about this show and how i thought it would run for YEARS. i'm very surprised to see it's leaving so quickly! i wonder what other show they want to get in it's spot?

At least it's not like another musical revival that will stay open forever because of stunt casting... I mean... wait...

I, for one, am grateful it was a re-staging of the original - which I never got to see. But that's just me. I didn't even care for it that much. Superb dancing but it was still stale.

Any guess for which show will replace it?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Well, thank God we were spared Melanie Griffith as Cassie, and Kathy Lee Gifford as Sheila.
