BROADWAY CLOSINGS - can you call it? What's next to go? — Page 9

Yes South Pacific was allowed to run its course but after was such a hit and then War Horse as well the NYTimes did a sunday editorial on this last year on it and how the government was looking ti audit them because of it, whichbis why they want War Horse out of the Boumont

yes, I know it's not Broadway, but that cruise-ship production of Hairspray looks like it's about to sink (pun intended.....). They can't even feed poor skinny Tracy

^Really?

And I see it as
The Lyons
Godspell
Ghost
Jesus Christ Superstar

By no means, does this make me happy in any way (due to the number of people who will be out of work as a result), but:

"Other Desert Cities" (6/17; previously announced)
"Venus in Fur" (6/17; previously announced)
"Don't Dress for Dinner" (6/17; previously announced)
"The Lyons" (I'd say 6/17 or 6/24)
"Priscilla" (6/24; previously announced)
"Godspell" (6/24; previously announced tentatively)
"The Columnist" (7/8; previously announced)

Others on the chopping block:
"Streetcar" - wouldn't be surprised to see it go before its announced closing of 8/19

"Ghost" -- gone by or before Labor Day

"JCS" -- see "Ghost"

"Porgy & Bess" -- announced thru 9/30, but I'm skeptical. Labor Day or sooner seems more likely.

"End of the Rainbow" -- I'm guessing Labor Day.

"One Man, Two Guvnors" -- whenever Corden is done.

"Peter and the Star Catcher" is a big question mark. Not doing the numbers it needs to be doing but some deep pockets there and a lot of Tony momentum, albeit in four tech categories that don't sell tickets and an acting category where the person is leaving. Has a shot at making it to the end of the year, but depends what kind of gamblers they are.

End of the Rainbow has already announced its closing Labor day in preparation for a National tour and another London engagement...

Peter is definitely hitting its nut and I wouldn't be surprised if Disney takes over the show

^^ When did Rainbow announce it's closing?

Cheno

Your wish came true

We called Godspell yesterday and not even 24 hrs passed

Per Roundabout's Facebook Page, Anything Goes is closing August 5th

GHOST looking at an October closing.

Called it.
Godspell and JCS in just one week

Phantom will close when the world ends

I was at End of the Rainbow last night and it was virtually empty. I'll be surprised if it lasts until Labor Day.

keb2, I agree. With all of the automation it must take less people-power than other Broadway shows. The orchestra must also not be that large from what I hear on the recording, probably the theatre minimum in the pit and it doesn't have any real stars. Levy is probably the highest paid in the cast, Rudolph might be in negotiations for a raise since her nomination. But it doesn't look like it takes a lot to run that show.

As long as it last til July 14th I'm happy though hahah
