Yep.
"'Barefoot' to Close
Damned by critics but popular with audiences, the Broadway revival of Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" will close after its matinee on May 21, having played 108 performances and 27 previews at the Cort Theater since Jan. 24. The production expects to return 50 percent of its investment, according to an announcement from its press representatives."

That's still in a pretty long time. I show could easily close before then. My vote goes to ring of fire. After two or three weeks of percentages going up, they are back down this week. Asta la vista baby.

Right on my birthday.
I think Lestat has plenty of life in it to run through the summer, but I don't think the show is generating the kind of excitement that guarantees audiences won't forget about it when the people who've already bought tickets and plan to see it have seen it and gone. People aren't exactly running home and telling their friends (well, about how good it is, at least) and it's not a hot ticket. I have seen the show and feel it is pretty much safe to say that the reviews will be similiarly unkind.
