From a purely selfish perspective, I wish every show on Broadway would close. All the ones I liked I've seen already, so there's no need for them to stay open. And the ones I've disliked, or assumed I would, are just taking space from a new show I might potentially enjoy.
So close 'em all!

Posted: 9/5/06 at 10:27pmIsn't there a show already booked for the Hirschfield this spring? So this closing is basically inevitable, right?

Wait'll all those 250 dollar Chorus Line premium tickets get snapped up! Then we'll see some high averages!
(Of course, they're actually going to be going for 50 on TKTS, but what the hell.)

No way in hell i'd pay over $70 bucks for any theater ticket. It's just a waste of money.
As much as I enjoyed my time at Wedding Singer, it isn't the best. And, like I said after I saw Sweeney, Broadway is meant to be - or at least, should be - the best that the theater world has to offer. So bump it out of there and put in a new show - one that got better review (Curtains).

Why is everyone so sensitive on here? I am thrilled these terrible shows will be closing and there is a slight possibility a real musical could emerge. Doubtful though because all I see now are lame revivals (Company, Les Miz).
These ticket prices are ridiculous. Weren’t they charging $200 for premium seats at Tarzan? Get ready for $120.00 per ticket plus taxes.

Posted: 9/6/06 at 11:34ami'll only pay over $70 for theatre in NY. i would never see a thing on tour for more than that. touring Broadway is just pathetic. at least in NY i'm guaranteed they'll have the sound right and i won't have people sloshing in front of me with some wine in their hands.

Posted: 9/6/06 at 3:02pmI've really only ever seen tour shows (I rarley get to NYC), and I've had pretty decent experiences with tour shows. Maybe you just have a bad theater?

"glad that DRs finished a a high note. Very high note. went up 11% in it's last week. Take that Sweeny! (sorry, not like I hate sweeny, but love DRS more.) "
Why do you feel the need to compare? DRS actually finished at 80.6% while Sweeney finished at 84%. That statement makes no sense to me, but ehh whatever makes you happy.
