Well, as I am sure many will say, it was kind of inevitable. But definitely a shame, a lot of good talent performs up on that stage every night.

awww, it's like the end of an era!

Best to cast, crew, etc. That cast is so talented, I hope they get something better soon.

If that was directed at me, no - it's not a happy thing when any show closes, for the sake of the people involved.

Sad that people are out of work.
Glad a new theatre is open to put more people into work.
Glad the show is finally coming to a close. About time.


"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."
--Aristotle

Nobody involved with BROOKLYN should feel anything but gratitude for being able to ride the coat tails of this show for such an incredibly unexpected long run.

The cast wins. The writers win (especially because this is probably going to be the next GODSPELL at community theatres throughout the country over the next few years). They've all been very lucky to have some producers with deep, committed pockets.

That's sad. I never saw it, and I didn't prefer the music, but it's still sad. Best of luck to all involved!

I would give you a hug if I could!

Wait... why do I remember hearing that it did, CQT. That doesn't seem right, though - I'm probably mixed up.

(I wonder if they'll still tour?)
