Can someone explain how the volcano is incorporated in the show? Is it worth spending two hours waiting for or should I just make a trip to Hawaii to see the real deal?

I wonder if the producers are gonna try to get a performance on the Tony Awards as a way to build publicity for the final weeks.

...or the cruise ship's show. (I know, it's already been done!)

The Marquis really does need a hit - correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that On Your Feet was the longest running show there since Millie closed in '04.

I don't know about longest running but The Drowsy Chaperone recouped there as well.

This was not the worst show of the season. That said, bye, Felicia.

Sad to see that it didn't find its audience in New York City, but in hindsight it was pretty clear it wouldn't find it there. Best of luck to the tour, which will hopefully be more successful, particularly in the types of towns that will be more full of Parrotheads.

How disheartening!

Shame as it was a lot of fun. Thought it would last until Labor Day.

What will happen to the leftover Margaritaville mix?

I do think this will sell well on the road.

I was there last night and actually had a really good time. It FAR exceeded my expectations. But there was NO ONE there. The sound of the applause was painful. Oh well, what a shame.

A one-month closing notice is better than 1 week.

It will be served at the new Margaritaville Hotel being built in Times Square.

I'm surprised this isn't staying open through the summer.   

Wishing them all the best on the tour!!
