Gettin’ the Band Back Together closing September 16th? — Page 3

Oy.

See there's the problem: just because others "love it" doesn't make mean others can't still say it's awful.

It is BLEEDING money. It IS going to close soon - people just want the bandaid ripped off. They want better for audiences AND the cast/crew.

And again, for the millionth time, THEY KNOW THEIR SHOW IS FAILING. No one is saying anything they haven't thought. It's humiliating to be performing for so few people.

Yes, we do. It means paying money to see the shows we want to see. That is what being a fan means. Broadway is a BUSINESS. They exist to MAKE MONEY. And "being a fan" means supporting their show financially. Take the emotion out of it. Oh, and no one is encouraging closings.

Someone posts something about a possibility of a show closing. Someone elses response: We can only hope. HOW IS THAT ENCOURAGING A SHOW STAYING OPEN??

I know Broadway is a business, thank you very much. I'm not stupid. A show exists; you see it, you don't like it. Or you have no interest in seeing it. That is NO reason you encourage a closing, or guessing how much longer it has. You're not the almighty authority on all things theater related (I do not claim to be in the slightest, but I DO respect the actors and the shows they are in), so get off your high horse and learn to respect others.

"take the emotion out of it" --Have you seen how people are responding to the recent Wicked casting news? There is absolutely no way to take emotion out of anything, so don't think you can tell anyone how to feel."

Jesus."

I think you meant to say “Jessus.”

The tickets from Goldstar were not free. They were charging a hefty $15.00 service fee per ticket, way higher than other clubs that charge $0.00 per ticket, or $4.50/$5.00 per ticket.

Still not worth it... having to sit through this tedious show! Predict a closing notice any day now.

That's because they're not a club and don't charge any annual membership fees. They sell discounted tickets to a wide variety of events and the fee is based on the price of the ticket. When the ticket is a comp, they base the fee on the original (full) cost of the ticket which is why the fee was $15. Still more than I felt it was worth though.
