Picked up some tickets for this weekend.

Johanna is a fine actress and if the play is truly that bad, I'll at least get to see her work her way through it.

Now that GYPSY announced it's premature closing, maybe IZZY will announce tomorrow.  I guess they didn't want to be first to drop their shoe.

At this time, Izzy does NOT intend to close before Jean returns on the 20th. And, like others have said on many threads for many other shows, why the desire/wish/fascination/prognostication for a show to close?! Izzy is not holding up the theatre since Oedipus is booked for Oct.

Rather than closing early, the show is actually extending until August 24. Jean will return to the show on Tuesday, July 22.

Both shows on Saturday have been cancelled. Ticket holders were notified this morning. I guess Day had a previous commitment and can't perform that day?

....where there's life (and recuperation), there's hope!  Give the show a chance...and enjoy Jean's performance.  It really is quite good (and may even get remembered for next May's noms)

Really cool she's so committed to the piece. I agree, go see it. I don't usually love one person shows, but just to seen Smart in her element was worth the price for me.

Has the show invited tony nominators/voters? I wonder if Jean would have been ineligible had the show closed, because not enough nominators/voters have seen her performance. Not saying she would win, but I think she stands a chance of being nominated.

Well there we have it.

Now the vultures can stop (bizarrely) circling this show.
