Posted: 1/4/15 at 9:13pmActually, just the opposite. The politics of the business is why a producer doesn't want it to be invoked. You don't want to be that person, because it is political suicide.

Posted: 1/4/15 at 9:25pmExactly. That's what I'm saying (maybe I wasn't clear). But this was about as close to invoking the stop clause as a producer who wants a career will allow.

Many forget that theater is a business and theater owners want shows to have high grosses or another show is most likely waiting in the wings to take over.
The Shuberts promised Chita Rivera a theater this spring for her final appearance in the new musical ~ The Visit and the grosses for Disgraced have been weak since it opened so it was just a matter of time. Disgraced has 2 months left of performances go see this powerful drama.

Seems like such a huge show for a small theater. But Scottsboro Boys was there. I hope it's a hit for its investors.
So it's considered a new musical, yes? So Fun Home might have a run for its money.

Posted: 1/4/15 at 10:28pmI have a hard time seeing this being a hit... Chita Rivera's name may will some tickets, but I don't see it making this show a huge hit. The marketing for this is going to have to be done just right.

Why "but" Scottsboro Boys? Scottsboro Boys didn't do well there, if you remember.
