I received the same flyer today. Well, if it's a publicity stunt, it's going to work on me! I need to go see it again
if its not closing on the 2nd how do you uexplain that telecharge is only selling tickets until that date?
Maybe they'll extend due to "popular demand" ?
raulmark, it might be just because they know they have a large fan base (including myself) so if they put out the word they are closing the fans (including myself) would run to New York. VERY UNLIKELY THOUGH. It had a good run.
Where is the official announcement already?.....
Is a flyer from the show not official? I think it is.

So, I looked on telecharge and they sell only up to Jan 2nd at 3pm. Then I called, and the man said that there is no official statement saying its closing.

It wasn't from the show it was from telecharge, I believe.

It was still created by the show's PR firm. It may have been sent out by telecharge, but they didn't make it.

so... what does this mean? Telecharge says its closing, then to me says there is no information on that?
EDIT: I sent this before I saw Theatrefan54's response.

Aren't there a bunch of shows eyeing the Booth?

How is this theory. Closes 1/2/11 and reopens off-broadway in March with a new cast.
LegallyBroadway2,
I just heard this, not sure if it's true

Why is an off-broadway run not possible TheatreFan4? Avenue Q did it.
Because SHOWS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO ON FOREVER. It had a nice run and now it's ending. I know a lot of you feel like part of your life is dying now you're not sure how to go on without a bipolar woman and a depressed teen on stage displaying the EXACT feelings you're having in your life but you have to let it go.
And don't worry. SPIDERMAN is coming.

How stupid is this whole thing? Bring in a brand new cast that presumably are under 6 month contracts and close the show before their contracts are up thereby having to buy them out? Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
I desperately hope this isn't true. It's a masterpiece. I see a long life ahead of it if it chooses to continue. I hope it doesn't take the whole Spring Awakening route and "choose" to close.
And plus, I will never get tired of seeing Meghann Fahy as Natalie. She will never beat Damiano, but her voice is MUCH better suited for the role.
I pray it doesn't close anytime soon.

July to January is 6 months

Remember the mailing piece says last chance to see on BROADWAY.
Could be the code for moving to OFF BROADWAY. I have not heard anything about this happening, so this is just my vision (or dream).

...or because it will still be touring at that point?

This... is very saddening
But, I suppose I should just be happy at how long the show DID run! In this economy, the fact that a tiny, totally originally, heavy subject mattered show with an essentially no-named cast lasted as long as it did really is a testament to how incredible a show it is :)
And it's nice that at least the info is out there far in advance, so I have time to go see it a time or two again before it closes!
Still, it will be a real bummer to see it gone It's not even like I've seen it much (I've actually only seen it once on Broadway), but it's just.. it's always been nice to know it's still there, chugging along and being amazing haha
