I was wondering about Tina as well. I went to look for it on TodayTix, and it's not listed at all. Is that normal for that show? I've never looked for it before, so I haven't noticed.

It just isn't selling since Warren left. Yet there's no discounts, never at TKTS, no TDF or TodayTix.

I realize this is late but I was at the matinee today. Jennifer DiNoia was on as Elphaba and Allie Trimm was on as Glinda. Both are standbys.

Moulin Rouge just cancelled both Tuesday shows citing non-COVID related illnesses.

How is it not Covid related?  If they don't have enough coverage because people are out quarantined, isn't that still "Covid related"?

The flu is making a strong comeback this year on top of coronavirus.

Seems strange they would not offer TKTS tickets and if cleared to perform have to play to a near empty house. I'm sure customers at TKTS would fill the house for Tina."
It really is dumbfounding that the producers refuse to put the show on TKTS or offer discounts."

Are producers prevented from posting tix on TDF by contract or other reasons?

This "non-covid" nonsense is distasteful. It is of the same species as "our show is closing to tour."

Hadestown is already cancelled for today.

Thinking it could be either Ain’t Too Proud or Hadestown given their current pauses.

not to thread jack, but come from away closing in Toronto has me wondering if there was an SVOG counterpart for Australia, England, or Canada and whether or not that information is public like it is here.

David Mirvish claimed they had to close come from away in Toronto because there wasn’t a government grant for shuttered venues like there was in the states and the other two countries, and I’m just interested in knowing if that is indeed accurate.

If it’s one of those, particularly Hadestown, then January truly is going to be a bloodbath.  There’s a lot of shows I’d have expected to announce before them

Sh*t. I hope it's not Moulin Rouge.

To Kill a Mockingbird perhaps?

My guess is Moulin Rouge.

Well then, in that case, it would become the first Best Musical winner since Passion to close a flop. Really a shame, considering from the initial buzz we had heard back in 2018, it seemed to have had "hit" written all over it, no matter how few changes were made between Boston and Broadway (and how incredibly weak the book was in the first place).

The national tour begins in two months, though, and Moulin Rouge! should make some big bucks nationwide by the title alone. But that's the situation if the show posts its closing notice this morning, of course.

Just got back from my 2 days 4 shows weekend in NYC.  I went 3 for 4 with only Company Sunday matinee cancelled.  Slave Play Sunday evening, Mrs. Doubtfire Monday matinee and Dear Evan Hansen Monday evening performances all going on as scheduled with no principal cast members out.  I bought a ticket to Girl From North Country from TKTS to replace Company so I still ended up seeing 4 shows for my trip.  Girl From North Country was good and I’m glad I saw it, but I don’t know how it can continue with so few people in attendance.  This was the day after Christmas and I think the orchestra was only 35-40% full.  I won $25 tickets to Slave Play and got a front row seat.  Attendance for Slave Play was even worse than Girl From North Country.  Maybe 15% of capacity if that.  I’m glad both shows avoided cancellation because of Covid.  Just not sure they will survive the new year.  On a positive note, attendance was very strong for both Mrs. Doubtfire and Dear Evan Hansen.

I know it was just speculation (or maybe wishful thinking) but with these shows announcing closings it seems like a hiatus wasn’t feasible at all. So sad.

Slave Play is my guess.  Virtually no sales on seat geek.
