Neo, their grosses might be fine, but if their advance is absolutely abysmal, the producers might figure it's better to close than to waste more money by running the show for a few more weeks where it won't meet the weekly cost.

My inside sources say that no closing notice has been posted. So that makes the people saying it has -that makes them..what is that word again? Liars? Mistaken? Dissemblers? S**t stirrers?

No one said there was a closing notice being posted yet.

I'm tired of your "inside sources"
My inside sources say that your inside sources are dirty smelly liars! Hmph!

^ Agreed. Those with real inside sources don't brag about having insider sources.

"Twitter is going crazy with reports about the cast being informed today about the closing"
Yep the site's down right now because everyone from Arianna Huffington to John McCain is twittering about the closing of Ragtime.

Sorry-I'm sick today and clearly not thinking straight.
Obviously Night Music will be one of the 4. Early to assume but Finian's, Night Music, La Cage and Ragtime sound like they would be the 4 nominees.

hardly conclusive evidence, but Ragtime now has five nights next week posted on tdf ... a pretty clear break from its prior strategy. (which, as noted, has only included tdf twice before, on holiday-ish nights where butts generally are not in broadway theater seats.)

the reason I post it as inside info is not to brag - it is so people KNOW it is reliable...the proof that my info was correct is evident.
Let's see...twitter supposedly saying a closing notice had been posted. Another chatboard was cited here claiming a closing notice had been posted. My info said it was not true...and today still no word of a closing notice...mmmm...interesting.

I don't think it was about a *closing notice* in terms of a specific date the show is closing; rather the reports were the cast were told they show is closing but they weren't given dates or anything...kind of like, it will be 'closing soon' kind-of-thing.
Do you claim this is also wrong?

actually on ATC the claim was the a closing in 2 weeks WAS POSTED. That claim was made in this thread in posts that have since been deleted. It was false. The cast were NOT told that they are closing. That is false.
but the cast and anyone else would have to be brain dead to not realize that without an increase in business in the near future this all will come to be true.
Meanwhile Valisia Lekae rocked it last night as Sarah in place of Wally Pipp (um,I mean Stephanie Umoh) and she goes on again tonight..You go girl!

In the event that it IS closing...not to celebrate actors losing work or to rush it out, because I really enjoyed Ragtime. But does anyone have more of a concrete thought or source of whats replacing it before Phantom 2...1st wives,Carrie(lol), Fences,ect...I did some searching and couldn't quite find a thread devoted to it.

FENCES was/is legitimately looking at the theater.

Is the rumor that AMERICAN IDIOT is going into the Henry Miller?

No. American Idiot is waiting for a Jujamcyn house.

The only Jujacyn Theatre I could only see American Idio playing in is the Eugene O'Neill. The only other theater that might open up is the St. James, but I feel that theater would be too big for the show.

The O'Neill it will be.

That's what I thought too. But I hear that they want the St. James.
