Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Closing 9/3

Posted: 8/17/06 at 7:01pm

It was just posted 2 minutes ago. I knew the box office had dropped but I'm surprised they didn't hold out a little longer. I know they mentinoned that other producers were already eyeing the theater and I guess the advance sale was not great. Too bad.

No it didn't recoup.

Well, it was a ball, it ws a blast and it had a good run.

I'm not sure if it recouped. Neither 42nd Street nor Thoroughly Modern Millie were able to recoup. Anyone have an actual answer?

It was a ball it was blast, and it's a shame it didn't last. But every chapter has to end you must agree.

Does anyone else think it's a bit funny and strange that it will have played exactly 666 performances?

At least there's the tour, guys.

I'm a little shocked too. I didn't expect it to run forever, but at least hold out for a few more months.

And Millie and 42nd Street not recouping the investment has nothing to do with DRS recouping it or not.

DRS goes down as one of those "crowd-pleasers," like Millie and 42nd Street, that closed at a loss. It's recouped about 80%.

Not at all. If it makes you feel then your emotions are justified.

It is a bit surprising that it's closing and I did notice the 666 thing as well.

That will make for a very hectic day in NYC as there has been a lot of speculation that Inishmore might close that day as well.

It's too bad really. I suspect that is the likely venue for Curtains.
