This means I will have 2 shows in one day. First "Gypsy", then "Spamalot". It will be a draining day. At least the 2 theatres are right across the street from each other. :)
I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.
No, no, no, NO! I haven't gotten a chance to see this yet, outside YouTube clips and was planning a mid-Feb trip to NYC. I seriously don't think I can move my trip up either...
I was hoping this wouldn't happen but I saw it coming. And I am afraid there might be more to come or some "postponements" of upcoming shows. The economy.
well, I'll certainly miss it. it'd be nice to go to the closing performance, even though that's not really my thing.
and really, Elphaba3? really?
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

ok....I just got the discount ticket for the 11th of Jan in mid Row H Mezz, I called telecharge they did not get official confirmation so I couldn't transfer the charge (since my tickets for March are on my dresser) January the beginning of the end. for the Great White way.
I know I am hysterical (give me a few days to calm down and come to my senses)
In and out, in and out, in and SHOUT!!!!!! (takes my ativan)

I'm extremely jealous (as I bet most theatre employees are) of the people at the bullet proof shows like SOUTH PACIFIC, WICKED, and MAMMA MIA right now.
I hate to be so brutally honest, but I don't think the economy affected this one THAT much.
The last revival with Bernadette only stayed open for a year and a month. This one will have stayed open for 9 and a half. That is only 3 month which is the cause of the economy. Yes, Gypsy closing earlier than March 1st is because of the economy but it was going to close anyway in a few months... I wouldn't consider this one a casualty from the good ol' recession.
That's what I said it would have last until March at best, and yes the economy is closing it early, but it should not be looked as one of the shows that could have survived if there wasn't a recession... it would have closed anyway. Understand?
"Well I guess I'll be saving a lot of money in February since there's not much that will be open."

Thier numbers hadn't been great as of late, so I'm not surprised.
But I agree with one of the other posters: it's only closing 6 weeks early; not quite as sad as some of the other shows closing.
Those with questions about tix you already bought. YES, you will get your money back...and while it does happen automatically, you are still better off going directly to the box office or calling telecharge. WHEREVER your point of sale was.
For those of you going: enjoy!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Not that I was going to see it any time soon (I haven't seen the show since City Center), but I did feel a little bit of sadness when I saw the announcement.
Best of luck to the cast and crew. I do hope a filming (if one was ever planned) still occurs.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
