--- "Why are we mourning this? The show stunk. The problem wasn't "not ready/appropriate for Broadway." It just wasn't good--not the story, not the nonexistent character development, not the charisma-less performances."


Glad you said that, FrontRow.

I've been getting really tired of the comments suggesting that it deserved/should have had a home Off-Broadway. Sure, an Off-Broadway venue would better suit the piece than one on Broadway (which just saying feels awkward because this had NO business whatsoever on Broadway and the critical reaction/closing prove that), but that doesn't mean it should even be playing Off-Broadway. The show just isn't really any good.

The writers, I'm sure, will keep learning and working. Maybe they'll have a more successful outing later, but this piece is what it is.

"Top of the World, Ma. Top of the World.... whaaaa?"


BOOOMMM!

Interesting- come back in ten years and see how many say they were there

---

Wishing everyone who was involved with the show all the best!

---

the public should put HAIR there... it's the perfect space for it.

23 years - isn't that the age of these writer's? or did I make that up?

just got the playbill!

---

I must be thinking of another show. Now that's gonna bug me.

Let me ask you something---

These are two men. Two ADULT, GROWN men. Why do you all feel the need to act like they're 10 year olds and pity them more than you would Andrew Lloyd Webber? It's absolutely ridiculous. Their show stunk. Period.

Personally - I think this is brilliant and amazing because I totally called it at the first preview.

---

Nono, it's to EVERYONE. Including the critics. I just think it's pathetic. Judge them as you would any other writing team.

---

First, the usual joke:

How long till bryan starts petitioning for a cast recording.

Now the seriousness:

This sucks. This really does. On the one hand, you have to respect them for knowing when to throw in the towel. I felt the same way when I heard High Fidelity was closing. On the other hand, these guys have nurtured this piece and their dream has basically come true and been crushed at the same time. It's really sad.
