February 28th. I've very saddened.

I thought I saw a post on here about it a few minutes ago but now I can't seem to find it. I'm either seeing things or it's been deleted.

Now that this turkey will close I look forward to seeing Bernadette soon in something she is right for. This is a dreadful production that soon will be forgotten. ( For the sake of all involved). I love this musical and I hope that in years to come it gets a revival worthy of its quality. And by the way; Angela Lansbury will be on Larry King Tonight. Updated On: 2/2/04 at 04:29 PM

Yes, thought I was going crazy. I just posted it, and now it's gone. Hmmm.

Anyway, I am very sad to hear that the show is closing. We sure need this economy to pick up fast or a lot of our favorite shows could find themselves in trouble.

I really liked this revival.. especially Bernadette. This leaves another theatre open for something.

Looks like I won't be seeing it once more. Damn.

I'm surprised they closed it just because of the weather. Winter doesn't last forever!

This is only my second year living in NYC but it seems like an unusual amount of shows have closed this session.

YAY! Now we get David Burtka and Kate reinders into better roles in other shows that REALLY let them shine..

Hopefully we will have Tammy Blanchard and John Dossett back again VERY soon...

come to think of it.. when does Dick Latessa plan on bowing out of Hairspray?? Get John to the Neil Simon!

and hopefully ensemble member Julie Martell will be back again VERY soon as well

"Another" empty theatre? Are there other theatres that are currently empty?

I have read so many shows plan on 2004 or 2005 Broadway productions, but I do not see how it is possible for a dozen new shows to come in that time, if the rest do not leave.

Let's see if I remember all that is coming:

Batman
Shrek
Peter Pan
Mame
Tarzan and/or Little Mermaid
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Possibly Mary Poppins

Damn, I know I am missing some BIG ones...

Two-thirds of announced shows never open. Batman's been on the list for about 5 years now. So has The Color Purple, Moonstruck, Camille Claudel, The Great Ostrovsky, Dirty Dancing, and countless others. Until the press hits, don't count on it.

Geez, this winter is a killer.
So far February Closings:
Taboo
Never Gonna Dance
Gypsy
are there any more?

Don't forget Cabaret and Nine, which also come under 'winter'.

I'm not surprised Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has cancelled its run; the London critics picked up heavily on how pantomime-ish it was (this is not a compliment) and out of school holidays it is not overly busy. It's recouped its investment however, so who says never?

What is the website that gives the list of all Broadway theatres and which ones are dark right now? I can't remember it and someone just posted it the other day in a thread.

If GYPSY is closing, so should 42nd Street ... they are running @ about the same capacity and everything ... AND 42nd isn't 1/2 as good or quality as GYPSY.

localonecrew....it doesn't bother you that you're making a statement such as that while all those people ( well over 100) will be out of the job?

I thought this was the best performance I've seen from Burtka. Not that he wasn't hugely entertaining in PLAY ABOUT THE BABY, but I thought he was actually good as Tulsa.

Oddly enough, they just gave the show's website a complete overhaul. They added some new things.

This is awful! Two shows in one day?! I can't STAND it!

What a bummer and i have never seen Gypsy.
I better see it fast.

This is depressing... First we loose Cabaret, then Taboo, now two in one day?!?! I'd better figure out when I can see Gypsy. I'm not missing this.
