That's a shame.
The Helen Hayes would be a good theatre for Hedwig though...

Or Andrew Jackson.
We really do need a new small Broadway theater.

Posted: 6/22/10 at 10:52pmIt makes me sad that the only new play running on Broadway (and the only new play left from last season) will be Race. Now THAT'S tragedy.

Posted: 6/22/10 at 10:54pmWe really do. Maybe once the Hilton implodes in on itself we can get a small theatre built in its place.

Posted: 6/22/10 at 11:12pmNooo!! I can't make it to New York until spring 2011 and I was desperately hoping Next Fall would hold out until then...I had a feeling it would close well before that, though. Wish I could have seen it!

RACIST!!!!!
Haha, indeed. I don't think that joke has ever been more appropriate given the title. Although seeing as it's a Mamet play, it's more sexist than racist I suppose. :-P

Posted: 6/23/10 at 12:29amNoooo! I was so upset to hear that Next Fall was closing. Such a brilliant new play. Sadly, not surprising it didn't bring in the tourists tho.

Posted: 6/23/10 at 12:30amThis comes as no surprise. The show never found an audience-it was playing to half empty houses for months.

It's just another example of how a new play, given no stars and despite positive reviews, will inevitably fail on Broadway. It's quite sad.
But also, I feel that the tickets were overpriced.

Munk, weren't the reviews mixed and luke warm? I don't recall reading any raves. And yes the tickets were overpriced.

I don't know, actually. You may be right. I remembered the reviews being pretty kind. Not raving raving raves, but generally nice and positive.
But even with raves from every major publication, this show still would have closed at a loss. Unless it starred Keanu Reeves and Jake Gyllenhaal, it was destined to flop.

This is not surprising news but it's definitely sad. Really sad.
I just bought a TDF ticket for the closing.

They should have put Hunter Foster and Jen Cody in the leads.
