KathyNYC2 - Exactly. IMO - Mr. Cuccioli's "Confrontation" scene was worth the price of admission.

I find it funny that jayinchelsea said "expect revivals of WONDERLAND and THE CIVIL WAR next season" because I've seen a notice for auditions for a Civil War revival at the Lucille Lortel theatre off-broadway next season. I'm not sure f it's definitely happening but it was supposed to, apparently.

The Civil War that is going into the Lortel this summer is unrelated to Wildhorn's production. It is a new show by Theatreworks that they are mounting as their annual free summer theatre.

I totally agree with your post. However, have you looked at the voting results so far for the Broadway World Awards for this website now? it seems that J&H is getting higher votes in practically every category it's nominated for. I think some people are VERY enthusiastic about J&H winning these awards. Does anyone know how the votes are cast or counted?

It's a poll that literally anyone can vote on. Repeatedly. The posted results means nothing because a small group can skew the results before they are audited at the conclusion of the poll.

Yes, a show that does not make a profit is a "flop". I guess I am just trying to point out there is a difference between a show hanging in there for almost 4 years and something closing in a month.

Yes, the difference is the smarter business decision to close the show early and not risk putting in more money to something that will not pay their investors back.

Just close it and send it back out on tour. I'm sure it will making a killing in Omaha.
