I'm so sad. I still had a little hope that it would come through.

I still can't believe that it took a WEEK before they made an official announcement. And, I too, was holding out an iota of hope.

POSTPONED. Such an optimistic word.

Maybe we could all donate a dollar.
So does this mean they are keeping the Barrymore?

And the economy is going to get worse before it gets better. Not to be the prophet of doom, but what show is going to be next? One by-product of this (hopefully) is that producers will think long and hard before announcing a show's opening and, maybe, just maybe, that could translate into the chances for a better product overall. I know that sounds foolish, but one can always hope.

Postponed is a nice way of saying canceled

I really do hope they regroup and get this production back on its feet.

that would mean that BRIGADOON is "cancelled" .... but it isn't. just postponed

Brigadoon is a different situation.

Postponed means the creative team is still willing to keep a door unlocked. But they are all looking for jobs right now...just like the actors.

But truly: only time will tell.

Sorry to hear this as well. I was looking forward to seeing it.

One of the previous articles said they lacked $1 million. Couldn't they get anyone at American Idol to pony up that amount?

It'll be announced soon that's it's being cancelled all together.

I hope not!

I think I'm going to go to the theater anyway on the date on my tickets and sit in the seats. Maybe I'll take a boombox and play the OBC recording.

Gothampc: Haha, that sounds fun. We should have a BWW gathering and do that.

^^^^^^^^^
I would so do that.

This makes me so sad. I was really looking forward to seeing the amazing talent that is Gavin Creel.

I was so excited for Diana DeGarmo too. I think this show had great potential. Not only does it have the WICKED connection, but when done well, it's an immensely satisfying show with great youth appeal . . . Not to mention that it was an inexpensive show to mount.

I really wish it could happen.

Look at the bright side. No more pop up ads.

I noticed the thread on which i mentioned this 6 days ago has been taken off.

[wicked_beast4]

Posted: 8/19/08 at 9:29pm

Because this is an official announcement. Yours, although true, wasn't announced yet.

[WickedBoy2]

Posted: 8/19/08 at 9:49pm

So it gets wiped!!!!!

[wicked_beast4]

Posted: 8/19/08 at 10:12pm

Yep, they do that with every speculation thread.

I work in the industry in the West End- it wasn't speculation it was fact!
