Hey folks, sorry for the confusion. I tried to merge threads and ... well, that didn't work out all that well. Thanks for your understanding.

Nathan Lane would be a mean Ursula. Not to mention Broderick in that sea shell bra.

Any Chance Sierra will come back and swim one last time before the closing show?

Does this mean I'll be able to buy a pair of signed wheelies at the Flea Market this year?

About Sierra returning, I wish, but no. I know this was a universally disliked show by most, but I really liked it and I hope I get to see it again before it closes. Even though they were getting kicked out of their theater, I'm somewhat surprised by this news. I guess Disney wants to move on to other projects.

Because the show might lose a ton of money in the very lean weeks from Labor Day-Thanksgiving.

Not too sad, this will be a guaranteed success on tour

Saw the show when it was still in previews and really, really enjoyed it.

Always sad to hear when a show closes. Actors, musicians, crew, box office staff, ushers going out of work is not a good thing.

^ But the actors, musicians, crew, box office staff, and ushers from the next show coming in all getting work IS a good thing.

Looks like they found a home for White Christmas over the holidays.

While it's always sad to see professionals out of work, everyone's talents could be better applied elsewhere.
