Posted: 6/18/08 at 8:18amDoes anyone know when the end of the run for the current Boeing Boeing cast is?

Posted: 6/18/08 at 8:20amThe original closing date was 9/7, so I'm pretty sure everyone is with the show until then.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 9:00amI wonder if, on the heels of their Tony win, and increased box office, they might extend a while. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes an "open run."

Posted: 6/18/08 at 9:02amWell, tickets are on sale through January now, so they have extended.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 9:11amI'm glad they're extending. It's such an amazing show and this will definitely give more people a chance to see it. It's one of the best nights I've ever had at the theatre. Absolutely LOVE this play.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 9:24amI agree. I have already seen it twice, and will probably be back again. Just an unadulterated, fun night at the theater. The play itself isn't great, but the cast is so wonderful, they make it all worth it.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 9:31amI saw it last night and couldn't stop laughing. The entire cast was superb and the audience was eating it right up! I really I hope I get the opportunity to see it again.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 10:04amThis has just opened in Melbourne Australia and has received some awful reviews..One critic called it Boring Boring and said there was no more than 3 good laughs for the whole night. It's a pity we over here don't have a cast as wonderful as yours.

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

It wasn't a Limited Engagement, was it?
I don't know WHERE that info came from, but I never heard a lick of it before this thread. Nothing wrong with an 'open-run' y'know. Just sayin'...

Posted: 6/18/08 at 10:15amI think it is definitely the cast. When you think about the play itself, it's not really all that good. However, this cast pushes it over the top because they perform it with such reckless abandon. Kudos, especially, to Matthew Warchus, for getting these big, intentionally over the top, performances from the cast.

Posted: 6/18/08 at 10:36amI think the reason why producers decided to bring the most recent London production to Broadway was maybe due to the help of the good cast in London. If I recall (and could be wrong) there was a good cast in Lonon. I guess the reason why this show didn't get a good write up down under is because a lot of the lines have to do with how they are delievered rather then how they are written in order for them to be funny.

I'm sick of everyone just claiming to know things.
It has always been an open ended run people, always...

Sorry, maybe I phrased the question incorrectly. Whilst the play itself may be an open run, I'm interested in knowing when the current cast are contracted until.
I'm in the UK and would like to fly over for this, but I don't think I'll be able to get to New York before October and would love to know if the current cast will still be there.

Playbill.com has always had it listed as an "open run." How long the original cast will run? Don't know the answer to that one!
Anyone know when the cast members are on vacation? I'm going back on August 16th and hope they're all there!

By all accounts, casts are signed for a year, more-or-less. Expect Whitford, Rylance, Baranski, Gershon, Hahn and McCormack to fly-right on thru into '09.
