Playbill.com just issued a discount advertising that "last 6 weeks to see Angela Lansbury in Blithe Spirit," offering the discount as valid through July 19th. Anyone heard anything else?

It was always scheduled to close on July 19.

It was always announced as a limited run thru July 19. What is the confusion here?


Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I am so sad I will miss this.

It was actually never announced as a limited run; I remember originally seeing "open-ended" in a variety of places like Playbill.com.

I recall the July 19th closing date being announced almost from the start. The original advertising may have stated "limited run" but didn't give a date.

Woops. I guess I hadn't heard that. In my defense though, playbill.com still has it listed as open-ended.

Everyone makes mistakes. Take a look at the news item on BWW about Jake G doing the movie of ROCK OF AGES. See how his name is spelled.

Umm, what's wrong with the spelling of Jake's name? or was it spelled wrong before and they fixed it?
