Contributing to this glorious 1000 post goal. Has there been talks of a tour? I ownder if Tony would jump on board if there was one.
I do agree this show would do well in Vegas. I had a great time when I went to go see it so I'm definitely bummed that it didn't find an audience. C'est la vie.

I thinks this screams regional productions. It's seemed that way from it's start at Papermill. It just didn't feel like it was enough for Broadway.

I have to do my part. When I read Fisherman Bob's posts, my mind hears Jerry Orbach and I can't refuse his request. 953

I doubt that opening a production of this show in Vegas would prove to be any smarter of a move than keeping it running here in NY was. Far more successful shows have failed to become a hit in Las Vegas (Avenue Q, Hairspray, and even Phantom all closed at a loss to name a few). I can't imagine Honeymoon succeeding where those shows failed.

"I'm sure that JRB had to give up royalties to keep the show running."
"I doubt very much he did that."
I'm virtually certain he did. In royalty contracts everybody who receives a royalty agrees to waive their royalties for up to 4 weeks if the show is struggling with the idea that it might turn around. Usually shows close after those 4 weeks because things almost never turn around - I imagine "Honeymoon" used up their 4 weeks of waiver earlier and people are once again getting theirs, but in most cases going on waiver means you're 4 weeks away from closing.

Has anyone rushed this show recently? How were the seats? Anyone know if they are ever flexible about the 2 ticket limit? My parents are coming into town Friday but won't be there til the afternoon. Wanted to pick up 3 tickets. Thanks for any advice.

They're so flexible these days, if you call the box office and ask what time is curtain on Friday night, they'll ask you what time can you make it?

I'm honestly sad to see this one go. I loved Rob McClure and Brynn O'Malley in the show and it was a fun and upbeat night at the theatre. It's no Hamilton or Fun Home, but I doubt they were ever out to be that.

"It's no Hamilton or Fun Home, but I doubt they were ever out to be that."
It's not even Golden Rainbow or Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public, and I bet they were "out to be" better than that...

While I feel badly about this show closing and moreso for the incredible cast, I feel worse for those that have not seen it, especially those who have closed their minds to the possibility of enjoying it (likely one of the likliest reasons for this show's failure). I, myself, saw it (my first time) at Papermill - just because; I was not expecting anything - I actually was not hopeful that I ould even enjoy it. But, I thought why not get away for a weekend and see a new show in the making. Surprisingly, I loved it. Since that performance in Oct, 2013 - I returned for a preview, the opening night and will come down to NYC for the final performance. So, that's my story where this show is concerned. I am happy and proud to say that I loved it and I will always remember my thorough enjoyment of the show. Let the hating begin...because that's all it is....

"Let the hating begin...because that's all it is."
Of course - because the only reason anyone would disagree with you is because they're "haters." It's absolutely impossible that anyone could have valid aesthetic values that differ from yours, right?

So, because I had no desire to see it, it's MY fault the show failed? Balderdash. Mind you, I haven't said a single word about the show good or bad.
THEY couldn't entice me to see it. Period.

Posted: 4/2/15 at 2:47pmSushi, you posted about this before and I disagreed with you then. I paid for my ticket, saw the show, and hated it. And that's my right. Now go away.

No, you don't need it (nor want it) - but you shall have it anyway - because I pity the mindless.

Ah, yes - Neon - the "Broadway Legend" - on paper. I have likely been seeing shows since you were soiling your diapers.

How are people that don't like or chose not to see the show "mindless"? I went in without much expectation. I left annoyed by a show that managed to be old-fashioned in all the wrong ways.

By "mindless" - I was referring to those judging the show without having seen it. If you have seen it and hated it - that is your opionion and it is to be respected.

Saw it. Liked it, but didn't love it. Nancy Opel was worth the ticket for me. Also that black chorus girl was pretty good to watch in the boring ensemble scenes.

I have no problem with people choosing not to see it, just those that refuse to see it and are still critical of it.

"I am an advocate for Euthenasia."
I certainly agree with this and whole-heartedly recommend it for some.
