I'm crying a little bit over this one! So soon. And on my birthday too...
Hopefully we'll see Sutton back again soon.

Wow. I didn't think it would last very long, but this is REALLY quick. I'm sad.

aww it is sad. At least it will live on on tour. Now that it's closing, the whole cast should go on tour

That is VERY sad. I'm sorry for every cast and crew member who works on this.

I don't think this will come as a big surprise to anybody. The show has had pretty low attendance for a while and only garnered one Tony nomination. At least a cast recording was made (always a plus). It will also probably find success on tour, especially since McGovern is reprising her role.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:01pmThis isn't surprising but I'm still a bit weepy. I hate these sudden closing notices. I really really hope that Sutton comes back soon!

This isn't a suprise, but it is much sooner than I thought it would be!
Hopefully more cast members will travel with the show. I am not sure if Sutton seems like the person who would tour, though.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:22pmIt is a shame when any show closes. This one was good & competent but not great. Jane Eyre was better.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:22pmThis isn't a suprise, but I did think they would try to get through the summer when a lot of tourists come. I do think this show deserved more of a chance.

I'm in total shock. Not to say that this wasn't coming but that they are:
1. closing before the Tony Awards.- if Sutton were to win the tony, then it might have drawn a crowd.
2. closing before the Summer.- attendance could pick up
Anyways, I enjoyed the show the two times I went and I wish all the cast all the luck in the world!
Happy...Everything!

That is such a shame
As much as I didn't care for the show, I'm always really sad when productions close
Best of luck to the entire cast and crew

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:27pmThe producers would know if the advance summer sales are not up to par. Plus, I'll bet they know she will not be winning the Tony so no reason to lose any more money. I wonder if the tour is in jeopardy?

I'm sure Sutton will come back in something bigger and better. As for now, maybe she'll take it on tour with Maureen.
THE WEDDING SINGER is supposed to book a Jujamcyn Theatre...maybe this will be the one.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:32pmI saw LW last month, on a Wednesday night, and the orch was little more than half full, and the mez was empty. How sad! This was really a wonderful show and Sutton Foster deserves more recognition. It's too bad one has to establish themselves in a Hollywood movie in order be a box office draw.
