I was just poking around on Telecharge and I noticed That Championship Season has their dates and prices posted now.
http://www.telecharge.com/BehindTheCurtain.aspx?prodid=8373&mode=moreShowInfo
The prices show a mezzanine that goes back to Row K. The only theatres that match that are the Schoenfeld and the Jacobs. The Schoenfeld is booked (Mother****er with the Hat) so that unfortunately means Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson will be shutting down at the end of the year.
Not a great fall season for new musicals.

"Not a great fall season for new musicals"
Certainly not, the only one I have enjoyed so far was "Verge"...that is probably a bad sign.

#7Looks like Andrew Jackson will be following the Scottsboro Boys
Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:02pmThat's weird since they don't seem to be doing too bad in grosses. They definitely have picked up.

I guess it all comes down to $
Was it the best show I've ever seen, no not by any means but it was fun and interesting.
#9Looks like Andrew Jackson will be following the Scottsboro Boys
Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:03pmMaybe, hopefully this can last past Jan. 2. I get back in town the 3rd.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:06pmI think their are too many shows closing in January, What happened to shows running longer than one or 2 seasons?

Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:09pmWell on the bright side it will open up Broadway to new works of theater. UNfortunately many will lose their jobs in the process.
#13Looks like Andrew Jackson will be following the Scottsboro Boys
Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:10pmI know I'm being optimistic, but maybe Motherf**ker with the Hat postponed. I find it weird that a show that has announced a theater has yet to post any ticket prices or been on sale. A show that has already has prices up without a theater is kind of weird, to me. So maybe, it is going into the Schoenfeld

Most shows traditionally didn't run more than one or two seasons unless they were huge monster hits. That trend really began in the 1980s. Of course most shows back then could actually recoup if they ran only one season...
The good news is that at least nowadays no Broadway theatre sits empty for very long.

Damn Theatreguy! Thats impressive!
I would definitely expect the notice to come out soon now that people are talking.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:15pmNice poking around- that's a pretty deep find. Sad to see both these shows go. Neither was a masterpiece, but both were daring and innovative nights at the theatre.

Not suprising, but still sad. While I loved the show on and off bway, most of us didn't think it had any real staying power. I think it may have had a longer life as an open ended off b'way show.
I would say it WILL hold on for a January closing.
Tom: January is a VERY common month for closings -- they hold on to make as much money as possible through the holiday season and cut loose before the lean months of Jan-March.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:53pmI don't see this information anywhere about the mezzanine going back to row K. It just has pricing for "Mezzanine: $129.00, $101.50, $61.50" etc.

Yes - and many will gain jobs in the process.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 4:55pmWow. It has literally JUST changed, because I looked at it about 30 min-60 min ago and it was how the OP described it.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I thought this show was going into the Booth after next to normal?
Will be gutted if BBAJ does close, that and Scottsboro formed a large part of my trip for next year.
#22Looks like Andrew Jackson will be following the Scottsboro Boys
Posted: 11/30/10 at 5:07pm^ If this show does close, I doubt it would be transferring to another Broadway house. There is too much in the theater itself to be moved to the Booth, but you never know.

Posted: 11/30/10 at 5:10pm^Sorry I meant I though Championship Season was going into the Booth.
