How long till Soul Doctor Closes?

Okay. I realize that a show closing is not a bonus, in fact IMO I find it depressing. It's sad when good actors loose there jobs. From what I have heard from reviews and BWW forums is that is a absolute piece of crab. I hate asking this and I feel bad and please don't give me any crap but when do you guys think this will close?

I'm also asking this because I kinda want to go see it.

As long as it plays one more performance it'll do better than Glory Days. That's an accomplishment.

"It's sad when good actors loose there jobs"

That's a really great sentence.

"Carlebach’s music is beautiful and blends folk with more traditional sounds." - The New York Times

"Mr. Anderson sings with captivating intensity!" - The New York Times.

In this day of spin and hype there is plenty there to pull quotes from.

Plus with the Soul Doctor Opening Night news becoming 2nd lead theatre story to the Spider-Man accident, picked up by NBC4 and the Times.

I didn't love the show when I saw an early preview, still running 2:55. But there was alot to like, especially the Nina Simone scenes and the scenes between Shlomo and his Family. Some of the Hippies in the audience sequences became gratuitous.

Also, sitting on one of the "sides" of the traditional Circle seating configuration, I had to turn left for the entire show. If they wanted to turn Circle in the Square into a proscenium, why not rent the Roundabout's Studio 54 or one of the other 38traditional proscenium houses on Broadway.

If you plan to go, I would suggest sitting Head On in the center floor seats or the "End" seats, further away but you will not have to turn to watch the show.

I also absolutely despise threads like this, complete with the false apologies. I also think it's ridiculous to allow a small subset of people to dictate what you think about a show that you haven't seen.

It's also an absurd question because no one short of a producer can answer that question.

" It's sad when good actors loose there jobs. From what I have heard from reviews and BWW forums is that is a absolute piece of crab [sic]. I hate asking this and I feel bad and please don't give me any crap but when do you guys think this will close?"

Personally, I don't think the show is crap. I thought it had great potential but was overlong and flawed - now that I hear that major changes were made, and that the show runs a more manageable 2 and a half hours, I'm interested to see it again.

Don't be a sheep expecting other people to make up your mind for you, and if you're going to ask an offensive question, be prepared to accept the consequences.

You know what is REALLY sad? No one knows the difference between lose and loose any more.

Well it doesn't help that they can't perform on Shabbos.

JoeK, the OP also doesn't know the difference between they're, their and there. Maybe there [sic] jobs were too tight for them.

I know it's all part of the business..but really what's the point of discussing when a show is going to close? Maybe we should start placing bets when other BWW members are going to die...?

Oh I know jnb9872, I was just being silly.

The point of discussing when a show will close usually has to do with real estate and which theaters will become available for Bway aimed shows.

There has always been a lot of interest in that, I think there is a thread called "The Broadway Real Estate Thread" or something.

But isn't it okay, since he explicitly stated that he feels bad?

Almost as bad as someone who is a professional musician and real estate seller who poses as some kid on here should feel about making such a thread.

Adding insult to injury, Crab is NOT Kosher.

FOR SHAME!
