Drowing Crow
Match

I can't think of anymore that won't make it for a little while longer. But Drowing Crow, I hear is terrible. It has been panned by viewers and critics alike.

My post got wiped out

I saw "Drowning Crow".....some perfs were good, but it just didn't work

I think "MATCH" will open to some poor notices & then close...leaving The Plymouth open for the return of "TABOO"

Will take my meds now

CATSNY...lol...I hear ya

i think the next show to close are going to be plays. this isn't a great year for plays. probally match, or 16 wounded. but i think a raisin in the sun will do well because of it's cast.

Okay, do you realize that some of these shows are limited runs? Which means they have a set performance dates. The closing dates are known. Often done with plays...like KING LEAR.

You're right, etoile.

The real question should be which open end shows will close soon.

I'm thinking:
Fiddler on the Roof
I Am My Own Wife
Golda's Balcony
Drowning Crow (but it's already a limited run)
...maybe Wonderful Town, once Donna Murphy leaves.

Too bad plays haven't been doing so hot. Last time i was in NYC, I got to see the obc of Proof and the second cast of The Dinner Party, and I really enjoyed myself. There doesn't seem to be anything that really catches my eye this year.

I hate when a show closes.
Unless it is a terrible show.
Some terrible shows:
Vincent The Musical
Birdy's Bachlorette Party
Drowning Crow

Seriously, the next five shows to close:

Aida, Fiddler on the Roof, Beauty And The Beast, Gypsy, and Rent.

AIDA will be closing soon, I can feel it.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Beauty and the Beast? Really??

Aida is a definite possibility, probably within the next year, but I don't think it will happen until the capacity slump during the low-season in the fall.

What about Little Shop? Is it limited run? I don't know too much about it, but I had a feeling it wasn't doing too good.
