... that in the days following the Tony Awards, no shows posted closing notices?
I realize The Woman in White suffered a dismal fate, but in the past few years, I recall that after certain shows didn't take home any awards, they posted closing notices within a day or so of the Sunday night telecast.
All I've been hearing is shows (The Wedding Singer, Drowsy Chaperone, The Color Purple, etc.) doing BETTER at the box office.
I certainly am excited about this upward trend... I wonder how long some of the shows that got fairly negative reviews and were holding out for the Tonys will last.

This as actually a good point, DT. PAJAMA GAME already planned to close and reopen in September, and THREEPENNEY OPERA is closing the 25 as well if I am not mistaken.
But all I have heard is good, upward trends at the box offices.

Posted: 6/14/06 at 8:19amThe Wedding Singer might have actually been saved form closing now because of it's great performance at the Tonys (even though it did not win a single award).

Posted: 6/14/06 at 8:31amA lot of people talked about TWS, so it might actually do well this summer.
