It could just be that the producers are smarter than those of other flops. Producers of In My Life, Lennon, etc. thought that maybe sales would pick up after a while, so they kept pouring money into it. Seller and McCollum probably realize that with buzz as bad as it is, it's better to close it now than keep wasting money on keeping it open.

Just an idea on why it closed so early.

Show was great tonight. My 4th time seeing it.

High energy on stage, great crowd reactions, lots of cheering and applause.

No speech at the end, all the understudies were on stage in the final scene at the record shop, which was nice to see.

Sorry to see High Fidelity go! Wishing the cast the best of luck!

I really wanted to see this show and am upset that i didn't get the chance. Hope theres a tour, but doubt it. I'll be sure to get the CD though! Was the show completley sold out tonight at least?

I was there tonight. Bob Martin and the director were in the audience. Show was sold out - barely. It was still on TKTS 30 minutes prior to show.

No curtain call speech. Audience wasn't overly energetic but gave entrance applause to everyone. Show was never "stopped." Kind of a dull closing night, compared to other closing nights I have read about.

I'll review the show tomorrow. It was the first time I had seen it. I will say this: it closed too soon.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

The closing show was kind of disappointing.
I waited for closing speeches and there were none. Sadness, but I will miss the show. Glad there is a recording though.

Really? Every seat in the orchestra was sold out. I was in the second to last row.
