It was always going to end soon, but that sucks.

It seems like I was in the minority but I loved this immensely. Very sad to see it go.

I really liked it too. So sad it's ending early.

I enjoyed watching the show immensely. But I also thought it was one of the most uncommercial shows I had ever seen.  I've heard they plan to do it in a smaller theater so that may have helped it run longer but in reality the visuals of the scenery made up part of the spectacle that was so entertaining.  I thought the whole casted very well. I've always loved Carmen and everything I've seen her do but this time she really was different and amazing.

So sad, and also surprising to hear from a nonprofit theater.  What is the economics of running these nonprofit shows?  I imagine they are all in a similar boat with minimal revenue, but do they "keep it going" with the Government grants and donations they get, even if paid attendance is virtually nil?

Hated this show more than anything I saw this season, but even I’m sad it didn’t at least make it to the end of its limited run - and I adore Tony Yazbeck and hope he finds a vehicle for his talents again soon.

It was not my favorite show ever, but I did really enjoy it, and it was so great to see a truly original, imaginative, creative show on Broadway. I feel lucky to have gotten to see the show and especially see Carmen, who gives an award worthy performance in this show. I won't be forgetting it any time soon. Sad it doesn't get to have the run it originally planned.

Granted the book needs some serious work, I really enjoyed the show and now really want to see it again just for the sake of i

I saw an early preview, and also found the glass half full. Visually stunning, elegantly staged and performed. So glad it was recorded, because I believe the score is a keeper. Lush, haunting, more like Yeston to me, and I mean that a high complement.

I had a ticket to the first preview back in March 2020 and I'm sad I'll never get to see this show. I was really looking forward to it and love how they use that giant space. Oh well. Look forward to the recording.

It must truly be selling horribly. My scheduled ticket is just before the cut off but I'm wondering if I should try to see it this weekend because now I'm nervous it won't even make it to the 16th.

Thinking about how they were supposed to have their first preview the day of the shutdown, then waited a year and half for Broadway to come back, and now aren't even getting their full run just makes me sad.

A shame.

When I looked at Telecharge one afternoon last week, there were less than 300 seats sold for that night's show. And the LCT older audience is the most likely to want to stay home.

I was there tonight, and the closing notice hit just before curtain. I’m glad I saw the first act, but that was all I needed. The theater was probably 2/3s empty.

I saw this last week and was pleasantly surprised. It’s such a weird show, but I found it visually and aurally beautiful. The show does find its stride by the end of the first act and into the second, and by that point, I was along for the ride. I hope the design and orchestrations at the very least are remembered come Tony time. It’s sad this won’t get to play out the rest of its run.

This is one of those shows where the second act is the better than the first.  Nothing to go out of your way to see, but if you do decide to go, hang it there, it gets better in the second act.

I agree, the second act is better than the first. It’s a shame the book is off-balance. The story should have started with the meeting of the characters.

I wonder if they have time to film this for live from Lincoln center/Great Performances.

I saw this this past Friday night. It was the ONLY Broadway show with a performance that night (New Year's Eve) and the theater was still only about half full. Sad. Some really beautiful things in this show. I really enjoyed it but can understand it's lack of wide-spread appeal, especially right now. Too bad they don't have time to work out a filming of the show. I think something like that could help this show find its audience over time.
