"ITH" was just about sold out each time that I have seen it so far--- only shows that seem to be less crowded have been the Sunday @ 7pm shows.

I'm PRAYING that the reviews help Passing Strange. There's no reason why something this fresh and unique shouldn't find an audience. They need a better maketing team stat.

I suspect that Passing Strange doesn't have the requisite monies to conduct an agressive marketing campaign. I don't think it's for lack of ineptitude on the part of their staff.

Okay.

We all need to - right now - get in a prayer circle, and pray to the Gods of Rock 'n' Roll (you know who you are) that PASSING STRANGE gets raves.

It'll become this year's AMOUR/HIGH FIDELITY/THE TIMES if it doesn't.

Woo hoo for RENT! 90% two weeks in a row!

Also, Chicago will be gone by 2009's end.

No! Chicago is just having some rough weeks, and I think their problem might have also been cutting off so many of the discounts because of the President's day Holiday.

How do you people think Passing Strange is going to get raves?? I don't understand what I am missing.

It got raves Off-Broadway.

That's what you're missing.

That is the reason it moved to Broadway.

ITH must be papering pretty heavily...they've sold 80% of their seats, but made less than $400,000 in a fairly large house. The theatre was definitely full Friday night, and that was the day of the bad weather.

I guess my taste of theater is considered horrid then because I thought Passing Strange was dreadful.
