Doesn't Sweeney close in December?

I heard that it was to close in December. Then I started hearing it was closing this month. Does anyone know?

It doesn't have a set closing date. None has been announced.

I believe that they are selling tickets through December, but there is no set closing date yet.

It better not close this month! I don't think it would. It's been running in the sixites in terms of weekly percentage of capacity over the last few weeks, which isn't great, but isn't horrible, especially since they've already made all of their money back. However, especially now that it lost the revival Tony, I doubt it will be around after autumn.

Why do you want Sweeney to close?

What's it matter either way? I don't think this show closing is really going to effect any of our lives unless we're connected to the show.

Maybe because some of us who love a show want it to do well, just for its own sake, and also so we can see it again (and again) in the future?

Well I for one want it to stay open so I can get up to New York and see it!

I'm not saying I want it to close either, but people speculate so much about a show closing. This show isn't going anywhere, and when it does, it will be BIG news and we'll all hear about it.

The show that we should be spectulating about is Hot Feet which isn't making enough money to even pay the cast, let alone sustain a healthy run.

Let's hope it does because it's not bubble-gum pop fluff, and it's actually got some substance. Duuuuh.

If Sweeney and Company run simultaneously, I will actually bow down to John Doyle.

Will you kiss his feet? Or kiss the ground he walks on? Or is the bowing enough?

I haven't looked at grosses lately, but I just did and I'm surprised how it's been dropping recently...

Me3, I know that my user name / picture lessen my validity, but don't condemn Sweeney when you have a WS avatar.

I saw it for the seventh time on Saturday night. The place was packed. And there was some very a-list celebrities there.

So judging by the weekly percentages, if it's packed on weekends, on weekdays it's probably only a quarter full or so. That sucks.
