How Long Until ... Closes?

Posted: 10/15/06 at 3:00pm

Any show, just put it down:

Mama Mia: 2 years.

*cue everyone who thinks that discussions like this are negative and inappropriate*

2 years for MAMMA MIA! is wishful thinking. It's still selling out. It's not going anywhere for a long time.

Yeah.

[TheMecca]

Posted: 10/15/06 at 3:03pm

The Producers: 1 year
Chorus Line: 1,000 years
Wicked: Never

Posted: 10/15/06 at 3:05pm

The Producers: 3 months

[DRSisLove]

The Wedding Singer: 3-4 Months.

The producers of Rent and Chicaco will make an agreement to close at the same number of performances. This will be either after surpassing Les Miserables or after surpassing Cats. The producers of Chicago will then cheat on the agreement and end their run with one more performance then Rent.

Tarzan, a few months.

I think The Wedding Singer will pull through this year o.k. When Constantine leaves, then it's over.

"Mamma Mia!" is another logo show, plus the word-of-mouth alone is what keeps it going and going and going. Once the film-version comes out (end of 2007), it'll be even BIGGER, so judging by it's worldwide appeal, it ain't-a goin' anywhere in the long future.

"A Chorus Line" will have it's descent run, but will close by Christmas 2007, "Grey Gardens" will have a shorter run -- it'll become the next "Caroline, or Change".

"Chicago" is also another logo show, and all that I mentioned above regarding "Mamma Mia!" applies here -- the film-version's success has pretty much guaranteed it's worldwide appeal.

Seeing these shows that are predicted to run "forever" is so depressing. Mamma Mia, Wicked.... blech. I only give Drowsy about another year though.

Beauty and the Beast - Two years after the set collapses

[Horton]

I think that Chicago will have a long run because its film won Best Picture, while yes, Rent was made into a film, it just did not have the star power, or the prestige that Chicago did. I would not be suprised if rent closed before 2008

[munkustrap178]

RENT will stick around for a few more years. If they announced closing, there would be such a ruckus that they would just end up staying open.

I don't think BEAUTY AND THE BEAST has 10 more years left in it...I give it 2-4 more years.

Phantom- Never
Lion King- 15 years
The Color Purple- 5-7 years

Disney might close any of the shows, stick them in the stupid Disney Vault to build up more hype, then reopen them in 10 years.

I could see Disney keeping Tarzan open until Little Mermaid is ready and then moving it into the Richard Rodgers.
