IS HE DEAD? is closing?

I just got an e-blast from Thetermania offering a discount code for IS HE DEAD? and advertising the fact that the show is in its last weeks. Is this true?

Not sure about the email blast, but the website is advertising "last chance to save 50%". Maybe they meant to imply that the discount was ending, but it sounded more like the show is closing?

Is He Dead? is doing marginal business. They have probably gone below their stop clause. The light at the end of the tunnel has gone out and it is a matter of time.

But using the term "Last Weeks" is the start of wringing the last few drops of blood out of the stone. The original run of Dreamgirls advertised 'last weeks' for about a year before they finally shut up shop.

The thing pushing Is He Dead? out of the Lyceum more than anything would be something like The 39 Steps which wants to move after it's Roundabout run is over or there's the Albee play in Princeton that got some good press too.

I hope not. It is so much fun. Go see it. I went twice.
I love this play.
Norbert is hysterical. You need to see it. ADORABLE.

"Is He Dead?" was dead on arrival. Surprised its lasted as long as it has. Lame show. A friend saw it last night (didn't like it) and said the house was pretty small.

I loved, loved it and Butz but am also surprised it's lasted as long as it has.

I just got the same e-mail and it clearly says towards the top of the ad "Final weeks" in bold capital letters.

I hope not... I and the rest of the audience had a great time. Non-stop laughter, wonderful facial expressions, and Butz!
