wow!! this was sudden.
Not a good day for musicals......
So the St. James and the Al Hirschfeld are up for grabs!
Healthy run for a revival, though I think it should have closed when Radcliffe left.
Very happy that gorgeous theatre is getting a new show, though.
Does anyone remember the uproar from the fangirls on facebook etc. when Daniel Radcliffe was being 'replaced'? lol
Well, speak of the devil. Guess that answers your questions Theatrical 100.
It had a good run and played for longer than I expected. Rough day, nonetheless.
I really loved this production, and am so glad to have gotten to see it several times. I hope to be at closing, or if not - catch it again before it closes.

I've been waiting for this since Jonas joined the cast. Although I was never keen on seeing it to begin with. I wanted to see Darren though. His run was too short. Kind of glad it's going.
So does this mean "Into the Woods" now has a new home?
(I do so love it when people announce long term plans for productions that haven't even begun previews!)

This is too soon! They would have had a great summer! The fangirl tourists would flock now that school is out!
Ridiculous. They could have lasted until the end of Nick's contract.

took in next to nothing last week.
they couldn't give tickets away.
sad for the actors - but a terrible, awful, horrible and tortuous show.

So upset....there goes my trip to NYC. I had tickets for Nick's last show and everything.
Did it ever recoup?
When was Nick's contract suppose to end?

This doesn't surprise me. Nick Jonas, unlike Harry Potter, has a very limited audience. He's not really a star.

Yes, they recouped their $9 million in December 2011. It's in the first paragraph of the closing article.
His contract was supposed to end July 1st, I believe. Which was also... posted above.
I wonder if shows can ever go from recoupment back into debt...I mean it sure sounds theoretically possible, I wonder if it has happened in this case..

Too bad! I had tickets for 5/22. Oh well. It's always sad when a show closes.

NO! Now I have to sit through Avenue Q or Anything Goes again.
I wasn't planning on seeing this show during my trip in July, but now when I go, it will seem like everything is closed...
It's so depressing to take pictures of dark theaters.
I hope that they announce a tour or something.
Why only those two? Plenty of other shows to see.
WHY would you take pix of dark theatres?

TBH I thought it would until July, it has been struggling for a while so not a surprise, it does mean there are now prime theatres up for grabs.
Problem is once Evita opened, all the groupies went to see Ricky.
