Note that Feldman says it will close in February, not December.

February would take it past its 35th anniversary date. Insane that we might live in a world without Phantom at the Majestic.

Hopefully the Majestic gets a much needed renovation.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Honestly, if they’re going to close it, close on the 35th anniversary in January.
I am big. It’s the REVIVALS that got small.

Seems kind of silly to me. To close a known money maker. I mean, they could stunt cast the smaller roles easily. And hope that some Hamilton style show comes along in the next few months.

Feldman said on his Twitter that the closing will be confirmed soon, from what he hears.
Well, I’ll be. That bird really did it.

Posted: 9/16/22 at 3:53pmThis is factual...Except the date is incorrect. Phantom is closing. But ALW wanted to announce Cinderella and the name change first. But it has been derailed with death of the Queen.

I'm sorry but what date? The NY Post basically guess at December 31, and Phantom (and most Broadway shows) NEVER have performances on the 31 anyway. And then TimeOut said February. So what closing date are you hearing?

Which date is incorrect, the Post's date, or Feldman's timeframe?

What name change? Is CInderella getting a new name?

Her Majesty’s Theatre in London is likely changing to His Majesty’s Theatre.

It is changing to His Majesty’s but that’s already been announced.

Most shows are dark on NYE due to the proximity to times square.

That’s true. Normally the only bway theater open on 12/31 is Vivian Beaumont since it’s not too close to times square.

Wow this is crazy!! Didn't think I would live to see the day. It will be a monumental moment at the Majestic when the next show opens there....35 years later!

I still have to agree with those who say Cameron’s plan is likely to close and reopen a cheaper production.

Crazy. Wild.
I would love to know all the talk and chatter going on. Is there some other show itching to come in or were they essentially pushed out? Are they just going to downsize and move to a smaller theater?
Has that worked for any other show? I know Mamma Mia tried it before just closing all together. I guess it's sort of working for Kinky Boots?

Cancelling my New York trip for December. Luckily all I bought was hotel and airfare. Was planning on seeing Phantom at least twice during that trip. It will be a while before I can be in New York again.

its official now!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

It appears closing is not on sale yet?
