NY Post Closing Headlines

Posted: 12/31/08 at 9:05am

So, I thought for a fun little New Year's game, we could try to predict what the NY Post headlines (they're always ridiculously stupid puns) would be for various Broadway events or closings. Here's an example:

Hairspray Closing:
THE ECONOMY STOPPED THE BEAT

Gypsy Closing:
EVERYTHING'S COMING UP CLOSING

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Heyhey, PG2! "Everything Coming Up's Closing" is mine, young man!

No, but seriously, I can't think of anything for Spamalot, and this is weird because you'd think the Monty Python musical would lend itself most to goofy puns. All I can think of is something like "Scram-A-Lot," which is dreadful, even for the New York Post's headlines!

Two, two, two closings in one (I know, limited run...):

Spam-a-lot, you joked a lot
And now you are broke, but you earned a lot
Pal Joey and the Knight's Tale - no more

For the tepid reviews of Pal Joey and Shrek:

MAL JOEY
DRECK THE MUSICAL

For the closing of Young Frankenstein:

THEY'VE CREATED A MONSTER
or
IT'S DEAD!

For the closing of Grease:

HOPELESSLY STILL OPEN

This is a bad one, but my creativity is low at 9:30 in the morning.
