Based on the press release they will have played 8 less shows than DEH. An impressive run. I look forward to seeing it one more time when I’m in the city in August to see ITW.

Tonight we honor what we are about to lose, but we also commemorate a notable piece of Broadway history.

Farewell, Ganderians. You will be missed!

Dang, I started to make the assumption when Jenn Colella was announced but I was hoping I was wrong :/

So sad Broadway is losing this titan of a show. Such an incredible piece of work and what a fabulous run (even though I'm still salty that it lost Best Musical in 2017 to a significantly less deserving option).

I'm so grateful we will forever have the incredible recording on Apple TV+.

I can't. Already crying at the thought of this show closing.

If you’re able to, I would get it now. I can’t imagine there will be much, if any, inventory for the final show by the weekend.

Telecharge removed Oct 1 & 2 performances from the calendar (but still kept everything post-Oct 2)

I checked within minutes of the announcement and noticed that they didn't have a single premium seat for sale. And then the nonpremium seats were getting spotty - they'd disappear and come back (maybe people putting them in their cart but not checking out?). But now you can't buy for closing weekend at all. I'm sure it'll pop back soon up soon. Perhaps they're adjusting the prices.

This is such an amazing show and was our favorite of the year it came out.  Saw it in DC then on opening week. Feel I need to see the final weekend

I won't lie and say I didn't see this coming, but this breaks my heart. CFA has been my absolute favorite show since pretty much the first time I listened to it 5 years ago. I have seen it twice but not on Broadway specifically, so I'm really trying and hoping to make that happen when I'm in NYC this summer.

Please, do whatever you can to experience this masterpiece.

Well damn, that was fast! I snatched up a ticket and got the email at 7:14pm, so was still up then at least! Got 1 for 10/2.

I want a ticket! Wonder why we can’t buy them.

Is there a chance they’re hoping to extend through Christmas due to popular demand? 10/2 is a random date, and sucks to fall 8 performances short of DEH’s run (I assure you the producers are keenly aware of this).

Yeah, Oct. 1 & 2 unavailable. I'll be checking daily to see if they pop up. Otherwise I'll be there very early that Sunday for a ticket.

With the large following this show has, I wonder if they'll see a bump in sales and potentially extend their closing?

[n2nbaby]

I doubt with the advance notice that the show will extend its closing, but weirder things have happened.

 

When we got tickets to the last show, there were performances still available past that. I bet the press release just went out before Telecharge was able to make the last week and a half more expensive.

Is it possible the date is already sold out because I got a confirmation email, the money was deducted from my account.

No, I don't think it is sold out. I was refreshing up until they removed it and there were lots of seats left in the mezz and rear orchestra. And October 1st was almost entirely unsold. I really do imagine the last week of performances will pop back up for sale with increased prices.

October 2 is shaping up to be a big day for the Shuberts... as Come From Away closes at the Schoenfeld, Leopoldstadt officially opens at the Longacre. 

As for what's next at the Schoenfeld, our trusted real estate source Troynow says Shucked will play there. The new tuner will feature a country-inflected score and uses the TV series "Hee Haw" as its source material.

Now the entire final week is blocked off.

What a beautiful and unique show and what a tremendous run it had. Congrats to all involved.

This was a wonderful show. Glad it lives on in the recorded stage production.
