I'm not here to rehash possible reasons for the show's failure, and I too thought it was an admirable production. What really puzzles me about the closing is: There have been a number of plays in recent years that never really found an audience and sold most of their seats at discounts -- Reasons to Be Pretty, Irena's Vow, Gem of the Ocean, Frozen are some that come to mind -- but they still managed to run a couple of months. How came this one couldn't even hold out that long? Were their houses actually that much emptier, or papered, than those shows? I didn't notice an extreme amount of empty seats on the (week)night I saw BB Memoirs.
Has there ever been another generally well-reviewed show that closed so quickly. All the quickie closings I remember were completely panned by critics.
