"Lennon" Closing Notice Soon? — Page 3

I saw Chad Kimball in Bryant Park and I think his parents sat in front of me. They were cheering for him.
He is very talented.

If it closes this soon, that's a tell-tale sign that it needs a LOT of tweaking before it goes anywhere. Hell, even if it makes it a year, it's still in need of a lot of tweaking.

Unless you aren't paying attention to some of the threads on the boards re LENNON, you should know that there are quite a few of us who not only like, but LOVE this show.

I sure hope that Featlah's friend is correct about the reason for the merchandising change.

PS: although one of the reasons I saw this show in the first place was to see a couple of the performers (especially one of them), the show is sooooo good that I keep returning because of ALL of the performers AND the story of John Lennon.

Although it was short, he had an incredible life, and it's portrayed very well. For any of you who think that it's sanitized, you're entitled to your opinion; but he is shown with flaws and also some indiscretion; but in order to include every part of his life in full blown form, whether it's the Beatles era, more about drugs and cheating...it doesn't matter. The show would be about 4 hours long, and then we would have people complaining about the length of it.

It's terrific the way it is for a lot of us! Hopefully, enough to make a difference in its run.

Theatreboi I don't think anyone answered you question "What is papering?".
This is when the producers provide free tickets to keep the house numbers up. Usually press tickets but also anyone who may influence theatre goers e.g. travel agencies, hotels etc.

I just saw the show today~ 2pm show~ Full House~ Enjoyed the music but agree with the review at Curtainup~

Just came back from seeing the show tonight, I really don't
understand - - the music is sooo powerful, cast is filled with
energy and love for what they are doing, you could feel that in
your very seats at the theatre. I hope attendance picks up - - - I would
hate to see this show close, I would be very disappointed. People around me were crying and cheering at the same time, It must be
doing SOMETHING right !

The reasoning for the discontinuing of some of the merchandise IS because the logo used in SF is not being produced anymore to be sold. So it's no longer available.

I, as well, would be devastated if it were to close. I love it, it's so powerful. And to the person who said that "only Yoko" likes the show... Yeah, uh huh... and she's also the only member of the "Lennonite" fanbase too. She pretends to be different people praising the show online so it looks like more people like it than they do. You are ever-so right...

But moving on, this show deserves to be around for much longer, as does this spectacular cast. For any Julia fans, she totally wrote a letter to me to be posted for her fans here:

I just thought I'd post that for anyone who'd like to hear directly from a cast member. No matter what the critics say or how slow this show is gaining momentum, audiences are STILL loving it for the most part! People need to stop with the pointless attacks on it and actually give it a chance. It may just surprise you.

no wtstd... PLEASE continue

SERIOUSLY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

Why are so many of you always all, "When are they posting a closing notice?!" WHY DO YOU CARE SO D*MN MUCH? Is it a matter of your life and death? Why can't you zone your concentration on something positive instead of counting down until the day a show puts it's closing notice up?

Yes, I'm an advocate for this show, but I've stopped caring about all the Lennon-haters because most (not all, but most) of them are sh*theads who haven't even seen the show. That's what I hear, "I haven't seen the show yet, but I hear it's bad! Don't go see it!" God d*mn it! Just let people decide for themselves! And I've also stopped trying to tell people why I love it so much, I'm not sure I can really put it into words, and I don't really feel the f***ing need to justify my feelings to people anymore.

I'm so sick of this sh*t!

I can see why they should get a closing notice soon. I saw this production last night and it was not good at all. UGH!!! Thank God I didn't pay anything for it.
