"Sondheim alluded to a possible tour in a recent Bloomberg interview, saying "A big producing company I cannot name believes there's an audience for it. If they can make it work financially, they will tour it. We'll hear very soon." Production spokespersons could not confirm any information."

Will do. So sad that a great show like this is closing.

At least you got to see it. I had a whole trip planned to see it before its original closing date in September and I am, to say the least, gutted.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

From a purely marketing POV, given the anger with Bush right now over Iraq, the marketing of this would be reallly tricky. But not impossible.

let's hope that a tour can be worked out! I'm truly saddened by the closing of this fine show.

One of my favorite lines:

"I didn't come here to shoot the President."
-"He didn't come here to get shot."

We will miss you.

Britt, I think you just mentioned my favorite part. The dead silence as Guiteau swings the gun around is a perfect theatrical moment. And O'Hare was just brilliant.

Oh, man, I'm getting depressed. Only one performance left.

I'm glad I got to see the show. Too bad most people couldn't get past the subject matter.

I wouldn't say most people couldn't get past it, just some.
