Posted: 12/13/14 at 3:03pmIs she going on for tonight's show?
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#201
Posted: 12/13/14 at 3:07pmAs far as how much longer the show has, I think if it were taking the January 4th bow, it would've already been announced. Either February or March when Idina's contract is up I'd say

Posted: 12/13/14 at 4:03pmI think we would know if the show was closing January 4. I love If/Then - I hope to see it again this season. The Interviews I've seen there's just been a mention of " 8 shows a week" not really promoting the show. Nonetheless I'm happy for her success.

Posted: 12/13/14 at 6:40pmThe producers are super rich and if they want to run the show until Idina's contract is up, then they are prepared to lose a lot more money cause the show is a flop and IMHO a pretentious bore.

OK. Don't feel so bad about yourself that you feel a need to project; so you didn't get it and you weren't part of the target audience, that much is obvious. The show reviews are in a different thread, by the way, if you didn't know you could do a forum search.
I thought it was common knowledge that a show is considered a flop at the point it closes and doesn't fully recoup, but here's just a reminder then. There's a 75% chance any Broadway production will end up flopping, and even 25% Tony "Best title" winners have flopped in the past 30 years anyway. Quite a crapshoot all around.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 3:24amTicket Master has apparently made tickets for after January 4 unavailable (this has not always been the case). I'd expect a closing notice this week.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 7:34amI don't see that on ticketmadter - unless I'm missing something - it still looks like you can purchase tickets beyond January 4 ?

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:20amI just saw that when you look at ticket availability via the calendar view - they are only available thru January 4.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:34amThe calendar view still seems to show out to Mar for me, but the full site doesn't work on my phone. List and mobile app also show out to Mar, so I have no idea.

Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:46amWas just able to get tickets for late January. Will see the show at least two more times before it closes.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#211
Posted: 12/14/14 at 8:48amI'm able to open event pages for the show dates beyond January 4, too.

It would be in their best interest to stay open beyond the 4th, when so may other shows are closing, because people looking for a show would be more likely to choose If/Then for sheer lack of other choices.
I STILL don't understand why people are not running to see the show. It's one of the best I have ever seen on Broadway.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#213
Posted: 12/14/14 at 9:34am^ Because you are one of the few that believe it is.

^Yet it's rated over 4/5 stars on Ticketmaster and 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor. 70% of Broadway traffic is from tourists, and this particular board is an extreme minority of viewpoint given that statistic alongside general knowledge that forum participation for any product or service is a minority.
There's nothing deeply mysterious about this: IF/THEN is rather niche, and its adult audience seems a younger average (and thus poorer) than other "adult" shows, where Broadway ticket pricing is exacerbating.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#215
Posted: 12/15/14 at 3:15amJackie's on holiday at the moment (looking at her twitter), so I guess that means that we have the potential for Jenn to be going on for Idina in the next few days.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#216
Posted: 12/15/14 at 3:58amLet's hope not, I may catch the show this week, and I want me some Idina...
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#217
Posted: 12/15/14 at 8:48amI would love to see Jenn Colella as Elizabeth. Hoping there's enough notice if she does go on this week, I'd definitely do everything in my power to be there.

Posted: 12/15/14 at 3:36pmIdina's on Fallon tonight and The View tomorrow, so we'll see if that affects her If/Then performance Tuesday night.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#219
Posted: 12/15/14 at 3:43pmShe did a whole show at Radio City without missing shows. Not sure two TV slots singing holiday songs will really knock her for a loop. One has to imagine she has no intention of missing from now through the end of the year, with the tourist uptick and them promoting her so prominently as the reason to go...

I think it was the UK trip and catching a bug along that period that really did Menzel in for a while, and grosses last week certainly reflected her 3 missing shows. She's done other things same-day like the iHeartRadio mini-concert right before a show, after all.
I think the upcoming two appearances are the last ones; there's another she did in the UK that was pre-taped. I wouldn't expect her appearance on Fallon to affect anything since the night shows seem more in-line with a Broadway schedule anyway, but the morning shows seem a lot tougher, getting there very very early for makeup and sound check. The View is 11am ET, maybe that's fine.
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#221
Posted: 12/17/14 at 9:56amDon't ask me how I know, but I've got it on pretty good authority that Jenn is going on for today's matinee. For those who've been dying to see her in the role, this may be your chance!

Posted: 12/17/14 at 9:57amJust saw that on ATC as well. Need more info! Is she on tonight too?
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#223
Posted: 12/17/14 at 10:01amI would LOVE to see Jenn go on. If anyone knows for sure if she's going on tonight too I would love to know. :)
Jackie Burns - IF/THEN#224
Posted: 12/17/14 at 10:06amPretty certain it's only for the afternoon performance, not evening
