Based on the majority of negative reviews, just how long do you think the show can last now?
How long will A Catered Affair Be Able to Last?

If they do good marketing, hopefully a decent while.
PLEASE! Do not post anything negative or dramatic! DidYouReallyHearMe has LOST the ability to ignore such posts and he will comment! Please, help him.
With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-

J,
Why isn't this a legitimate question? There are always threads on this site discussing why or when a show might close, the consequences of a show having low grosses and/or rumors about shows posting closing notices.
The reality here is A Catered Affair is a small show with a limited audience, which has become even more limited given the fact that the show was essentially panned. It seems reasonable to present the question as to whether or not the show can last even through the summer.

Jay, please don't hold back. This thread isn't kinda mean spirited.....it is mean spirited.

Agreed. What's the point of posting a mean spirited, negative thread?
#10
Posted: 4/18/08 at 2:24pm
i was thinking the same- not the spirit to put over 24hr after the show opens. Give it a breathing chance - please!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

I'm really not trying to be mean spirited. It seems to be a legitimate question even though I know there are a lot of fans of the show.

Not having seen it yet, I'll go out on a limb and say longer than Suzanne Somers but not as long as Phantom. But somewhere in that range, definitely.

Who really cares? Does anyone here have any money invested in it?
Oh, and welcome to the boards westcoastdrama. Is this your first thread?
Congrats!

There's a MULTIMEDIA on this link: I thought the song by Leslie Kritzer is beautiful!

Harvey also explains his 'confirmed' bachelor character. I will see the show the next week.. I kinda know what to expect! (no big production numbers) Well see if I like it or not?
BTW- In fairness--I just look at the show's box office numbers.. I think Its doing a little better than XANADU & PASSING STRANGE -and these are my two favorites!

6 hours is generous. I give it 6 minutes. Then maybe a show that's actually interesting can use the theater.

80% plus attendance over 4 weeks is a lot of interest.

Actually, taz, probably not much. I've yet to see a single comp offered for it, and it hasn't even been on TDF. (it might have been early on, as I don't remember, but it certainly hasn't been on there recently)
Tickets From $59
Tickets From $71
