Seems kinda odd to only open it again for three weeks. Money makes da vorld go 'round.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

The producers are probably doing this to recoup the investment. That would be the only reason it would make sense to re-open for such a short amount of time.

The show makes a million-plus a week. They're going to keep it open for any length of time that they can, even if it's just three more weeks.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

The show couldn't have cost more than 4million to produce. So they're making their money.

Do you think the cast/crew is getting a paid vacation? or how do these things work?
