I'm just repeating what I said on the deleted thread. 
I am so sad! HAIRSPRAY is my all-time favorite musical. Without it, I may have never really gotten into musical theatre. My dream was to play Seaweed J. Stubbs on Broadway (hence my screen name.) I guess I'll just have to wait until the revival! 
At least now it will have success in regional, local, and high school theatres. Thank you HAIRSPRAY, for all the joy you have brought to my life!

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:25pmKind of surprised actually, but the grosses haven't been the best over the past month. Really fun show though.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:26pmFirst Rent, my favorite show, closes. Now Hairspray, my next favorite show?! All in the matter of months. This sucks.

sounds like it will be closing, and i am so sad too. one of my fav shows. the recent cast plus prob harvey is going to be the final cast, and they are great.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:50pmWell, "likely to close" and "closing" aren't the same thing. If it's true though, I did not see this one coming at all.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:50pmOnce Harvey comes back do you think they would Pull a RENT and extend? If I buy tix for January 18th and they change the closing can I switch my tickets?

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:52pmI love how BWW comes out and says that this is a rumor.
#36re: It's official. Hairspray to close!
Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:52pmThere are two performances listed for the 18th. 1:30 and 6:30

I'm equally upset over the fact that John Pinette probably won't be coming back as was previously rumored.
#39re: It's official. Hairspray to close!
Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:54pmI actually think that John was signed on to return, on his Myspace his final tour date is Oct. 24.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 7:58pmThe one good thing about the recent rash of closing notices is that there are already new productions waiting in the wings to fill the theatres. Theatre is still alive and well despite the economy!

Posted: 10/2/08 at 8:01pmMaybe we will finally get to see the long rumour Australian production happen!

So--HAIR? Neil Simon? Safe to say...?
Unless I'm forgetting some other pre-Broadway show that hasn't gotten canceled yet...
ETA: Oh, and I don't particularly like that idea by the way. HAIR should be somewhere smaller. But is there another theater freeing up that I'm not thinking of? This is pretty much the time frame HAIR wanted, I believe.

Posted: 10/2/08 at 8:07pmThis is NOT happening. I am so disappointed! I'm seeing it every possible weekend until the closing.

#48re: It's official. Hairspray to close!
Posted: 10/2/08 at 8:10pmI just saw this a couple of weeks ago. While I did enjoy it, it is not my favorite show I have ever seen. But, it will be sad if it does close.
