Next musical to close? — Page 3

79% for a show just open is not good enough to keep it from ending up a flop.

My point is ACA will be the next musical to close.

before the tonys...

A CATERED AFFAIR

after the TONYS till early fall : in this order...

CRY-BABY & PASSING STRANGE -tie

XANADU

and I am just being realistic... this is not the 1st time.. that shows close after the TONYS... a true theater queen knows that!

I think this will limp....but would close later

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN


A year from now... these two shows will still be open:

IN THE HEIGHTS bec. it will win the TONYS for Best Musical
THE LITTLE MERMAID- uh...its Disney! hello!

J*, I think ACA is doing OK for now. It could make it to the fall. As well as PS, Xanadu and YF. I don't know if Cry-Baby can afford any PR at this point. And could possibly close after the Tony's. And the winner of Best Muscial this season. Won't make it thru the winter.

Could be!

and that's why I dont think the original poster intent was NOT mean at all. Its reality~shows open and close. Its the beauty of Broadway..Its a live show!

Just look at the long running shows that's still playing.. its always from a certain year...its uncommon for two shows from the same year~that's still be playing at the same time.

See the show while you can, its not going to be there forever!

Whether or not they received nominations, I don't think any of the musicals are going to close before the Tony's.

and we should be sad and worried IF shows DOES NOT CLOSE!

Can you imagine 6 Andrew Lloyd Webber's shows and 4 Frank Wildhorn's shows still playing???? like CATS, STARLIGHT EXPRESS, JEEVES, ASPECTS OF LOVE, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and JEKYLL & HYDE, THE CIVIL WAR, DRACULA, SCARLETT PIMPERNELL version 32 and LES MISERABLES all still playing on Broadway now!!!

that's the END OF BROADWAY.. there!

Hey man, don't be knockin' those two composers and Les Miz. They have their fans, me bein' one of them. Not tryin' to be mean or anything, just saying it. That said, don't even joke about Starlight Express still being open.
