Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:23pmI know it wasn't doing too well, but I must say it's a bit of a surprise.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:24pmIt'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.
#5re: A CHORUS LINE to close August 17
Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:25pmWow, I thought it would run way longer.

Although I'm sad to see it go, I really agree with RentBoy.
I'll see it in Boston this fall anyway.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:29pmSad 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.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:36pmWow. 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.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:45pmWow. Sad as it is, I can't say I didn't see it coming.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:48pmWow. 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.

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

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:52pmThis is sad. I had a chance to see the revival twice. At least it recouped its investment and will play through the summer!
#18re: A CHORUS LINE to close August 17
Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:52pmWow. I personally thought it would run a bit longer.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:54pmAt 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?

Posted: 6/3/08 at 6:57pmWell, thank God we were spared Melanie Griffith as Cassie, and Kathy Lee Gifford as Sheila.
