Hi All

Am visiting NYC next April and planning on getting to as many shows as possible. Are N2N and In the Heights still due to be playing then as fa as anyone knows?

Cheers:)

Much too soon to predict what might happen in the next 7 months! Hopefully, they will both still be here, but you can never really be sure - the early winter months can wipe out a number of shows.

I think that ITH has a good chance of being around at that time, but N2N...I don't know.

We are still dealing with the end of the summer numbers, but right now attendance percentage at Next to Normal has been better than that at In the Heights. Yes the grosses aren't as high, but Next to Normal is in a smaller theatre and costs less to run.

You have a better shot with ITH but its still too early to tell because like people say Winter wipes out a bunch of shows especially in this economy.


Remember when drama was only on the stage?

I'm pretty sure Heights will still be open because it has already recouped. It also has the same producers as RENT and they managed to keep RENT open for 12 years even though it didn't really do that well sometimes.

Buy tickets to what you want, and if anything closes, get a refund and see something else.

Not to be snippy here, but just because Rent's producers managed to keep one show open for 12 years, does not mean that every show they produce will follow suit. Kevin McCollum has produced The Drowsy Chaperone, White Christmas, High Fidelity and [title of show], none of which were open 12 years. While In The Heights is a fantastic show, it wont run for 12 years because a previous produced show did.

In the Heights will be running. It's doing fine now. Better than next To Normal, it has way more seats to fill and it has recouped. It was doing great this summer. The show was sold out on many weekday during the summer and if it wasn't sold out only a small number of seats were open.
