Does anyone else think this show will close soon? I've been looking on Telecharge's site and they used to have tickets on sale up until October, but now it's changed and are only on sale through September. I just thought maybe this may be some indication that the show won't last that much longer.

Its latest posted gross is $457,496 at 65.3% capacity. Nothing's official, but I'm assuming the show won't be lasting much longer.

It's a shame. Brian Stokes Mitchell and Marin Mazzie are terrific performers, and I loved seeing them together on stage. Hopefully producers recognize how dynamite this combo is and will do another show with them together.

You can't keep a show running if the audiences aren't coming to see it.

Not much longer and I am not surprised. I am surprised it's lasted this long.

Wonderful show, less than inspired production.

Yours for a better Broadway!

You didnt think that a show starring BSM would last this long?

I think this production is very inspired... JMO

I thought it was a great show. Critics can sometimes be brutal. What a voice BSM has. He can sing to me anytime, anywhere........

Man of La Mancha with Marin was fantastic. I'm really pissed she wasn't the original Aldonza because I'd rather her voice over Mary Stuart. The set design was so frustrating for me. I loved "Im only thinking of him". The priest is hilarious. It's time for the show to be put to rest though.

I guess I asked this question just in time.
