Good riddance. What a colossal failure and embarrassment.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Only suprised that they didn't decide to hold out through the holiday.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I'm thinking someone should do a "Religious Repertory Company" and then can rotate Scandalous, Sister Act, Leap of Faith, Godspell, JCS Superstar, Doubt, Sister Mary, Nunsense, and well, you get the idea...

So much potential. Shame.
"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."

Qolbinau, I didn't know you had seen the show?
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

So many people out of a job. Shows should stay open forever to keep people employed in them.

Not surprised. Didn't see it, did not want to. I hope this cast moves on to better things especially Carolee! Wonder what Kathie Lee will say tomorrow.

Maybe now Carolee can do that 80s pop tribute concert at 54 Below I had a dream about the other night.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I didn't see it. I just love trolling. But indeed with its massive financial failure (one of the biggest in a long, long time) and critical trashing I feel embarrassing is an apt description.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

My grandma, a patron to the Church of Gifford, swore up and down at Thanksgiving that the show was doing well and that she wanted to go see it. Had to break out my phone and show her grosses that the show was, in fact, not doing well and if she wanted to see it to make it ASAP because it won't be there past January.
How wrong I was...

don't laugh (regarding the cast album). kathie lee has a recording studio in her house. she might independently release something.
yikes.

All those who revel when a show closes and just love to bash shows should be ecstatic now. Well done.
Enjoyed it much more than the overpraised Wicked.

You say "Well Done" as if they (we? they?) are actually responsible for the situation, lol.

Did they advertise much? I don't recall seeing a tv ad for it.

Yes, just like a restaurant that serves awful food, this show should stay open to keep people employed even though this opens up the theatre and frees up the cast to be in shows worth their talent.

Great analogy.

Well, they tried...and it just wasn't meant to be. I think Broadway needs a significant break from any new religious themed musicals. The track record is not favorable, apparently. Best of luck to the cast/crew of "Scandalous." from RC in Austin, TExas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I Hope they do make a cast album. I really enjoy Carolee Carmello's performance. Personally, I think they should have used the money they spent keeping the show open this past week to record it instead.

If the church can afford to keep this open they can afford a cast album.
