Somehow I thought Wonderland had already closed. But I'm on a NEW MUSICALS kick and I hope it hangs on if only because it's not a revival.

Wonderland did close. About 6 weeks ago. Where did you get the impression that it hadnt'?

"The act of going to see Phantom has become synonymous with visiting the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building for a tourist."

Do you know what the word "synonymous" means?

Memphis has done 850k and 85% most weeks. It's doing really good business and I doubt there has been a week where it hasn't made back it's running costs. It's got some time in it yet!

This thread is so unsupportive of the community.

This thread was more about the business end and speculation based on grosses, sales and receipts. The reality of commercial theatre on Broadway.

NOT about the show, plots, the talent involved, who likes it or not, or wanting to see a show crash and burn.


Never meant to be unsupportive. Hope it goes back to the business end.
But some interesting convos so far.

Lyk, Wyrd. For Ryl. k

"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."
--Aristotle

Some unknown broadway swing/understudy from Priscilla said on twitter that she wishes people here got a virus (computer, or otherwise) for starting/posting in this thread, which she found offensive.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

seriously?
wow.

Do they understand that no show will last forever?
That these shows WILL close eventually?
That nothing is guaranteed?
That it was posed as a business question from a producer's standpoint?

More time should be spent working on fixing their show than ragging on these boards. Which is open to all opinions and notions.
Don't ya think?

yeah you guys are hitting it spot on.

baby and catch me.......so far you're all right.

what's next folks??


I say Priscilla.
based on Ticket sales of the last 3 weeks and weaker marketing tactics.
Once September hits..... it's not gonna hang with the others.
Just a prediction.

Well, technically, the next show to close is JERUSALEM next Sunday.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Addams Family wont close until like 2 years because Jackie Hoffman,Zachary James are leaving the show this month and Adam Riegler is staying until November. If the producers knew that they were gonna close soon they would have told Jackie,Zach and Adam to stay until closing.

So because all of those people are leaving in November, The Addams Family is going to run another two years?
