Moulin Rouge to Close on Broadway — Page 4

Jarethan said: "Merkin2 said: "They have still been doing around a million give or take every week. I guess the stunt casting hasn’t been as good as they want? I wonder if this closing announcement could spur higher numbers at the box office and they could finish out the year? Maybe announce Aaron Tveit is coming back to close it out?

If not, ATG will have three big theaters to fill this fall, St James, Hirschfeld, and August Wilson

Do you really think Aaron Tveit is going to leave Chess to go to Moulin Rouge? Even if Chesscloses on its scheduled date, that is only a few weeks before MR is scheduled to close."

When did Chess announce they have a scheduled closing date?

I wonder if they'll have a previous Satine come in to close out the final months of the show after Arianna.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think it is in reference to the last date this block of tickets are on sale. Looks like June 14th.

Eric Anderson returns as Harold Zidler starting May 19."

As expected. Especially if Paddington isn't starting until Spring.

thats his first real break since he started rehearsals in September. he's only had a handful of days off so far. Personally I'd by going and sitting on a beach somewhere but maybe he'll do that for a week, do MR for a week before returning to Chess. It would certainly make his obsessive fangirls happy.

Although if I was a Chess producer and I had just lost my big ticket selling leading lady i don't know if id want my most well known male star going off to do another show for a week and drag the Chess ticket sales down further.

I thought there was no way he would close MR while starring in Chess. Although, I think there's more than a flicker of hope for his fans (both good and crazy) since his vaca days align quite neatly with MR's closing day. We shall see...

I'm curious as well.

Extended to August 30th.

Megan posted on Instagram that her final performance is now May 1. Originally, she was slated to play through May 17.

The strange thing is, I didn't hear anything about her performance per se. Also never heard what happened about the performance she missed Act One of.
