(It's been awhile since we had one of these important threads, so I thought I'd help everyone out.)
My friend's second cousins niece heard someone at Starbucks say that Rent was closing very soon. Oh gawd..I hope not. I haven't had a chance to see it yet.

Well, if you heard it at Starbucks, then it must be true.
If it was Dunkin' Donuts, though...cheap bastards.

Posted: 1/19/05 at 1:12amI don't even believe you're for real! No one would post that. Especially not someone who's been here since 2003!

I do think Mr. T was speaking tongue in cheek. Which cheek is questionable.

"Rent Closing?"
"Is Rent Closing?"
"I Heard Rent Is Closing?"
"I Like Chicken Pot Pie"

And it WAS over heard at Starbucks. Must I say more?

Wasn't there one about "Rent to close if movie doesn't boost sales, says Playbill"?
PS: I like Chicken pot pie, too!

Posted: 1/19/05 at 2:10amIf any musical should close, based on the grosses, that would "Brooklyn" which took in $289,453 last week. The lowest take of any musical on Broadway.

Posted: 1/19/05 at 11:07amRENT has much time left in the beast..... seriously, even without the movie. Whenever I go to see the show I am always impressed with the big crowds, the number of people seeing it for the first time, and moslty full houses...granted- yes, they arent selling out- but the show costs nothing to run and they broke even in 14 weeks..... mr. seller and mr. mccollum have a money machine over there. :)

BKLYN can keep running for a while, because evidently its running costs are in the $200,000-$250,000 range.

*sigh* You're right. I just thought I'd try and give her a chance to explain herself...
Why do I give people like that any credit?
