Not trying to start a rumor, but was browsing TODAY TIX and saw under JLP's "Read full description" it says:
Start Date: Nov 3, 2019
Closing Date: Jul 5, 2020
I am sure this could be an error, maybe thats just what they are selling tickets until, but seeing the words "Closing Date" made me ask for clarification.
Tickets are currently on sale through July 5th, a new block of tickets will be released if the show sells well. July 5th is a logical closing date if the show struggles to get to the Tony Awards and comes away empty handed. Based on its current grosses though, they show should likely be around through the end of summer at least.

According to the official website, tickets are only on sale to July 5th. Only time will tell if it extends after that!

They may have gained some traction with their New Years Rockin’ Eve performance. I’d be surprised if they didn’t

Assume all Broadway musicals are open runs until otherwise stated*.

Let's hope the producers start to negotiate accordingly instead of just accepting anything because they're desperate to open!
Jesus, is every show discussion now going to include the anomaly of what happened with “Beetlejuice”?

New TV shows get pulled after 3 weeks if they haven't gained traction and people are salty about how much time Beetlejuice had? LOL.

Is it going to close? Yes, 100%. On July 5? Probably not. TodayTix likely automatically populates that date from the last date tickets are available.
The show has been grossing over $1 million/week since it opened. I'd expect a new block of tickets to go on sale soon.
For what it's worth, I believe they are selling beyond that date to groups.
The Broadway Cruise, in October, has an option for pre-cruise tickets to the show. I would assume that they have a block of tix to work from.
...and, by the way, the line-up on the cruise is really great (Laura Benanti, Alan Cumming, Norm Lewis, Norbert Leo Butz, Lena Hall, Jenn Collela, Sierra Boggess). ...and not on a super-luxury ship (with the associated costs) like the other broadway-themed cruises I've seen in recent years. I'm not a shill - just one of the cruisers.
