Caine Mutiny Closing?

Posted: 5/10/06 at 6:18pm

Noticed a posting on ATC about Caine closing this coming Sunday. Any verification?

I don't think it is. They just announced the whole free tickets for Army members promotion.

$ 90 bucks to see a revival? Bogey in the role is the best so I knew this would not make it. Schwimmer in the Jose Ferrer role? Please

Who says you've *got* to pay ninety bucks? And... the revival bit? I'm not even going to touch that, it's so absurd. Yes, it's old! Better you blow your $90 on some clunker just because it's new.

Anyway, er, why are we taking an ATC post as valid, again?

"Yesterday, the notice, dated May 9th, was posted informing the company that the final performance will be Sunday May 14th.

The notice also said that a change in circumstances may result in a recision of the notice."

That was also taken from ATC....should we trust it?

This sounds kind of preposterous. But stranger things have happened...

I think the run lasts till August 27th. There probably will be no closing till their end of extension date in August.

"recision"

I can't find that word in my Funk & Wagnalls.

I thought the same thing. I assume they meant "rescindment."

I remember reading somewhere, maybe back just before All Shook Up closed that it's a union rule to post a closing date for the cast and crew a certain amount of time ahead of the actual closing, but that this closing notice does not have to be released publicly and could be continually postponed. This would be done as a safe guard for shows that weren't doing well financially and gives them a quick out if needed.

Hopefully someone can clarify this.

I would think that BBW would have a linked article annoucing this if it were true. So hopefully it's not, and that would be terrible if it was seeing as how it just opened.

Checked the show's official website, checked telecharge, and to my surprise...

Surprise of all surprises, it ain't true. It's still classified as "open run." Don't worry.

Even though WELL announced "final weeks", Telecharge was still selling tickets through the end of the summer, and it also said "Open ended."

Telecharge won't answer your question.

Well, the official show website would. And it didn't say anything.

It wouldn't if there hasn't been an official press release made.

That's the whole point. No one knows for sure if it's true because an announcement hasn't been made. Them posting it on their website would qualify as an announcement...

I don't get why it's so difficult to understand that unless *you* heard it directly via some kind of authoritative connection, you shouldn't believe something until it's official. And no, ATC is not authority.

If people got that, we'd have so much less confusion.

Clearly under a rock, daydreaming of my torrid love affair with Adam Pascal.

I guess I'm the one who's confused.

I doubt that

"Recision" and "recission" are both words that mean the cancellation of a contract and return of its parties to their positions had the contract not been made.

The word is misused here because with actors in this situation, the contract has already been partially performed. If a show were closing you might say the contract was terminating or concluding.

Consider the source before you believe anything.

It's true. It comes to me from someone at the theatre. The show closes Sunday.
