my prediction is that it will close right after labor day.

"i was right about legally blonde,
I am REALLY right about ROA (next mamma mia billion dollar musical) and I think i will be right about Hair.
The reviews helped it for a few weeks I would say it will slow down in late aug. Sept will be bad and oct and I think either it will close right after labor day or Jan of next year.
I don't think there is a market for it.

It didn't take a genius to see that Legally Blonde wasn't going to last very long. It never consistently pulled in the numbers it needed to keep going.

Hair has been doing tremendously- shattering expectations. It overcame the belief that it wouldn't transfer well. It has already made millions. Its weekly cost, I imagine, can't be substantially high. It has AMAZING word of mouth, has a huge fanbase, reaches across age brackets... saying there's no market for it is like saying there's no market for kittens.

And I remember someone on here predicting saying that Hair will be a disaster, just like it is planned out to be.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."
