BONNIE AND CLYDE only selling tickets until Dec. 30... — Page 11

It's been posted before but I'll say it too: If you refund group ticket sales you're over.

There not announcing a closing because it will turn off other tourists from buying tickets if they realize it's a flop (or that is the mindset).

"PopAria - not true at all... at least not tonight. It was a full house and a really enthusiastic crowd."

It wasn't a full house...not even close. There were less than 500 people on Thursday and less than 600 people on Wedenesday evening, in a house that seats 1100.

The cast is officially being told tonight that the show is closing. Apparently they were hoping to keep it running through January (not sure why, though), and there is a slight possibility for an off-Broadway transfer.

Fosse76, where do you speculate it would go off-Broadway?

"PopAria - not true at all... at least not tonight. It was a full house and a really enthusiastic crowd. Crowd seemed much more into it than the audience did when I saw it a couple weeks ago.

They were also filming it tonight for the Lincoln Center archives, so nice that there was such a responsive crowd whose enthusiastic laughter and applause was captured on this recording."

I was there last night and the house was NOT full at all. Furthermore, there was very clearly one section of the audience (back orchestra house right) that I'm assuming were affiliated were the show because they continually laughed and clapped noticeably more than anyone else in the audience. I'm betting the show made sure friends of the production were there to be responsive during the lincoln center taping.

Which reminds me--the fact that they were taping it for lincoln center archives two weeks after they open is possibly the surest sign of all that they're closing. That's terribly early. Plus, I was sitting next to a camerawoman who told me they were taping this early because they were closing, so there ya go.

It's officially closing on the 30th. They just posted on Facebook.

Well... it's official... I am very disappointed this wasn't given more of a chance... hopefully some good will come out of this like a cast album or a couple of Tony nominations, maybe?

so sad to hear it is officially closing. i was expecting the info to come soon, but it's nevertheless a sad thing to hear. what a beautiful show.

I's pretty pathetic that all of the press releases are including preview performances in the show's overall performance count. Usually closing press releases separate them. 69 performances doesn't look any better than 30 something performances.

Such a shame, a great show wasted on the Broadway, bring it to the UK

"Closin' Ain't So Bad"

I saw a few performers post today about how it's becoming more and more "normal" for them to find out about their show closing either online (through social media/message boards) or through other impersonal ways.

Perhaps this is a discussion for another thread, but what a horribly unacceptable oversight (assuming it's not done on purpose) to send out press releases before officially telling the cast/crew. I could be mistaken but this appears to be the case with Bonnie and Clyde. Must be a double blow to feel like everyone else around you knew first, no matter how predictable the closing was.

Oh I doubt Wonderland will die. Also Bonnie & Clyde opens in Tokyo next month.
