HOW TO DANCE IN OHIO Opening Night Critics’ Reviews — Page 6

Apple Music is only showing an EP of four songs: Under Control, Getting Ready for the Dance, So Much in Common, and Building Momentum

Lord, I'm trying to be fair, but this soundtrack is making Pasek and Paul sound like Rodgers and Hammerstein. Apart from some nice-sounding vocal arrangements, I haven't heard a single musical idea that I haven't heard in another musical that used it better.

Also the show is now set to close February 4th..."

Where did you see that it was closing?"

You didn't see it anywhere because it hasn't been announced.

Seriously, I don't understand what's so hard about not posting online sounding so definitive about a show's closing date until the show itself officially announces it.

If you don't have insider info, you're just speculating. No matter how likely it may be it's just a rumor. And if you do have insider info, at least wait until an official announcement comes out. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with speculating. It's clear that the show is struggling and will very likely close sooner rather than later. But posting "It's closing on *insert specific date* or specific amount of time when nothing to that effect has been formally announced doesn't help anything. When the show and official news sources are ready to announce the closing they will. Until then, nothing is carved in stone.

I think there might have been some confusion based on the show's ads - they have a 2 for 1 ticket promotion that ends February 4, but there's no indication that the show itself has set an early closing date.

A shame. Say what you will about the quality of the show, but it’s scary to see shows fold this quickly. We live in a different world now, unfortunately.

There used to be a time when flop shows regularly folded before their performances cracked double digit numbers.

Last night's performance was recorded for the Lincoln Center Archives

the optics of this were very bizarre

KevinKlawitter said: "Broadway cast reuniting for one-night-only concert performance at Palladium Times Square on May 20"

I don't want to be crass here but... why?

I'll say this, it's certainly easier coordinating everyone's schedules for a reunion concert when the cast haven't had time to find a new job yet.

In terms of demand for this, so far the only comments responding to the video announcing the concert on the show's Twitter page is pictures of random porn images.

They couldn’t get people to the Belasco with heavy papering, and even then it barely broke 60-70% most weeks. Surely a 2100 capacity venue will work out better! (Sarcasm font)

Unless they are gambling on the slim possibility of a Best Score Tony nomination, I feel like this is just going to be a major humiliation for all involved.

They tried, they had mild success on some fronts, but they need to take the L and go home.

Jonathan Cohen said: "There's a "flash sale" on tickets to the reunion concert.It looks like all the mezzanine seatsrow J and behind are now $28.40. It looks like there are still over a 100 tickets for sale in the mezzanine section and about 175 tickets left for sale in the rest of the venue."

the reunion that nobody asked for

you cant tell ppl what they are supposed to like and what shows they are supposed to attend

yet another vanity project

There definitely should be a tour, but that does not seem likely, as producers would not want to invest in a show that sadly flopped on Broadway. Believe me, I want this show to find a bigger audience, but it just does not seem like this would happen.
