At first I didn't see it said London in the title. I got nervous!
But boy, that was quick!

As I posted in the other thread, I was actually planning on seeing it when I'm in the UK next month.
Oh well.

Posted: 7/6/07 at 2:17pmIts not a shock to the London theatre community. Its been doing dire business from day 1. The only day it wasnt on the TKTS in London was the opening night.

Posted: 7/6/07 at 2:28pmThe Novello is a perfect size house for a wide range of productions. It wont be empty for long. The owners were talking about the next show just two weeks after Drowsey opened- no shows named just that they knew Drowsey had no run very early.

Posted: 7/6/07 at 2:29pmOuch. Unfortunately, I suspect that the Broadway production's days are numbered as well. :o(

Posted: 7/6/07 at 2:34pmThe Broadway production is doing better than the London one but isnt doing good biz from the weekly listings i see.

There could be a reason why no other cast members have been announced for the upcoming 1st US Nat'l Tour of DROWSY CHAPERONE. Could be that the Broadway production might close, thus most of the current Broadway cast will tour.
