Posted: 12/13/06 at 9:43amYes but wasn't this originally announced to only run until Dec 31st? Seems I recall that when it first opened they said it was a limited engagement.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Yes, but still making money.
But for personal reasons and wanting to go out on a high, Marty has made this decision.

Posted: 12/13/06 at 11:42amI sort of lost something for Martin after seeing him on Celebrity Jeopardy! He may be the stupidest human being on the earth bar none. It was embarrasing.

Marc, you are killing me!!!!
I'm a huge Bernadette fan and would have loved to just see her be the guest but now you are telling me there might be singing involved. I'm leaving for Scotland that night and can't go! Ahhhhhhhh! Why or why couldn't she come on the 21st?????
Has this show been recorded for the Lincoln Center archives? Because if it hasn't, that would be the perfect night. At least that way I could eventually see it.
Well I did very much enjoy my other visits with Jerry Seinfeld (Opening night) and recently Gary Cole.

Argh! And Bernadette is going to be there on my birthday! Boo...
Too bad, I was really hoping to see this sometime in January. But congrats to the cast on a great run!

"Seems I recall that when it first opened they said it was a limited engagement."
It was never announced as a limited engagement. Playbill.com said the closing date was December 31st but every single other website listed it as an open run.
