Though I can't say I'd be surprised, I really hope that's not the case.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 5:01pmOh, I hope not; it's too soon, and I wanted to go to the last performance, and if it closes the first I can't.

Not suprising, but that's a shame.
Good luck to the cast and crew.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

*weeps*
Stupid tourists don't know what they're missing. They flock to Beauty and the Beast and Wicked while Company dies a slow, miserable death.
It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 5:46pmThat's a shame. And it's a shame we'll never know how the show would have done with a better/more aggressive ad campaign.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 5:51pmGive them a week. It'll make some money.

I know it's by no means official, but the Telecharge site is only selling tickets up to July 1st now.
It's a shame the show didn't have a longer run, but it really seems to have struck a chord with a lot of people along the way.
Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy
I can't go on tonight

Aaaaand there it goes. Jesus but that's depressing. And 'Phantom Of The Opera' has been running how long now?
Here's hoping that vague rumour of a West End transfer comes to fruition, I'm so very VERY thankful I got to see the show back in March, and I would wish the cast the best of luck with their future endeavours but they're all so phenomenally talented that I'm sure I don't need to.
I may or may not go and cry now...

Posted: 6/12/07 at 6:13pmI'm so sad!! My tickets are for 7/13 and it was going to be the highlight of my trip. SHOOT!!! AND my Tivo erased the Tony's because I didn't set the thing to 'Keep Until I Delete'. DAMN IT!!
#24Company to Close July 1
Posted: 6/12/07 at 6:15pm...finally. Not surprising, as many have said, but what another blow for Esparza and the cast. Just goes to show that you joy is short-lived before the pain comes.
