I'm also sadder than I have ever been over a show's closing. Last night's show had the most energy I've seen from them-and this coming right after posting a closing notice! It's just not fair!!!!
Can't wait for the cd. "What the f*** was that is my favorite part-I must check the video.

I got to see the show November 2nd, when Bruce did his talkback. It was so much fun! I didn't expect it to be as good as it was! I'm looking forward to the cast album. Shame it didn't last longer.

I am SO GLAD I got to see this. It was SO SOSOSOSOSOSOOOO funny, and I haven't even seen the movies. I'm thrilled there's a cast recording.
LOOK WHO'S EVIL NOW!!!!

Posted: 2/3/07 at 2:02amEveryone seems to be disappointed that it's closing, yet you say you got free tickets to the show. Maybe that's why it's closing? Because everyone went for free!

Posted: 2/3/07 at 2:38amWell obviously that's why it's closing. It wasn't selling, so tickets were given to papering services at no charge in order to fill the house. This was the ultimate Off-Broadway show and it's really too bad that Off-Broadway seems to be gone for good.

Posted: 2/3/07 at 8:13amBoth times I saw the show, it played to large audiences--not sell-outs, but certainly healthy.

The good news is that I have to imagine there'll be regional demand for this show. It'd be a great addition to some smaller, hip theatres around the country. It would be a great money maker.
I'm seeing the show tonight, would it be too expensive to replicate across the country?

Posted: 2/3/07 at 1:28pmAre regional theaters prepared for "splatter zones"?

Posted: 2/3/07 at 1:55pmThe producers were aiming the show for a particular crowd. You'll notice the TV ads run during shows like Mad TV. They felt that the 7 PM and 11 PM performances on weekends were attracting the right groups.
