Posted: 2/2/05 at 11:57amIt depends on the reviews and the advance.
The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 11:57amI'll give it until the summer at least. The producers are going to give it a chance to find an audience. New Yorkers will hate it but it seems Broadway isn't really marketed toward them anymore.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 12:00pmIt should last through august and close at the end of the summer. My prediction.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 12:12pmI think it will pray for tony nominations, and hope the summer tourists will help it out.

Posted: 2/2/05 at 12:19pmI think it will depend on reviews and advanced sales, like someone else mentioned. It would be a great show for tourists, and I think they would enjoy it, but it has to hold out through the next few months where long-running and successful shows tend to have trouble. Hopefully the producers hold out for a little while to see how well it will do.

It'll last to at least the summer, even if it means the producers pour money into it to make it that long. After all, its a Beach Boys musical, and Beach Boys = summer.
That being said, it'll be in trouble by end of March.

If this were a generation ago, Good Vibrations would be closed by the end of the week--or the end of the month, at the latest. But nowadays even flop shows still can run for a little while, I guess because a) tourists are stupid and b) Broadway's sense of economy is so messed up that NOTHING makes financial sense anymore.
This said however, I predict that Good Vibrations will not make it till Tony time.

Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!
