CLOSINGS- WHAT WILL BE LEFT TO SEE AFTER JANUARY 18TH?

OH MY GOD BROADWAY IS DYING AAAAAAAAAUGH

Shut up. There's still good shows left, more are coming. And come on - Grease and Young Frankenstein are just as bad as the "bad" shows you mentioned, which aren't really that bad at all.

---

Coming Soon:

West Side Story
Guys and Dolls
Hair
Story of My Life
9 to 5
First Wives Club
The Addams Family
Mormon Musical

Plus, we have new Sondheim. NEW SONDHEIM!

---

And unless it extends, Road Show (The new Sondheim) is a limited run and scheduled to close on 12/28.

---

I wish Liza would extend and have an inexpensive first row lotto.
I have never seen her live except once at a benefit a few years ago. She is super talented and I love the Forbidden Broadway skit. The LIZA one note number is hysterical.

PS She is terrific. So is the woman in FORBIDDEN BROADWAY singing I'm Liza one note.

God of Carnage will have an American cast - Riedel reported James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden, although I don't know if they have been confirmed. Ralph Fiennes apparently decided not to do it, and Janet McTeer will be here in Mary Stuart instead. Not sure who they are looking at for the other couple in the play.

Sue,
I have seen most of the shows you talk about. I paid to see "WHAT'S THAT SMELL" and it was funny for about 30 minutes and then it really stunk. It was a funny one joke show which is a shame. I love the star and writer of the show but What's That Smell is a bomb.

I loved August Osage County but once was enough as it is over three hours and if I want to see a dysfunctional family all I have to do is call my relatives.

PS SUELEEN,
I pay thousands of dollars a year on theater tickets. I paid to see DUST last night off Broadway. I paid to see Harvey's first night back a few weeks ago. I paid to see Forbidden Broadway this week. Why do you think I don't pay? I pay for a lot of things. PR people offer me tickets for a limited amount of days and many times I can't go when they offer dates so I buy my own tickets. Last year I spent $4,000 on show tickets.

If those shows are Disney, who's playing Frankie Valli?

I don't think the Disney shows suck at all!

I mean I'd still pay to watch Knight Usnavi of the Bodega Realm save the princess Vanessa who's locked up in the Heighest Fire Escape in the Kingdom of Washington, wouldn't you?

I loved the 39 STEPS and have seen it three times. Paid for it twice.
PS I never said I did not like Disney shows. I love Disney shows but would not want to see them multiple times.
Beauty and The Beast was my favorite Disney show which sadly closed. I also adore Lion King. Not a fan of Mary Poppins but I liked The Little Mermaid. I love the music.

Just a thanks to the people who made some lists. My friends and I get into NYC for about 10 days starting Jan 15th and since we haven't figured out what we're seeing exactly yet, it's very helpful to see all our options in the one place. *copies down all the shows to better prepare own list*

And yes I know we picked rather a bad time. xD

"I have never seen her live except once at a benefit a few years ago"

soo i guess that means...you've seen her live?

I wish Liza would extend and have an inexpensive first row lotto.


... She did, and from what I understood, she does.
