Phantom to Close On Broadway

Posted: 7/16/08 at 8:08pm

For four days why they put in a new sound system. Has any other show closed to fix something for a bit?

Aww....I saw this announcement on Playbill and was headed over here to make the same misleading post! Genius!

If Phantom was closing we'd be having a major board meltdown right about now!

They already did the same for the London production a few months ago.

Funny title, I don't see how anyone could have been mislead. All you had to do was look at the headlines at the top of the page for more information.

Thread title = LOL!

Shouldn't the words, "You've been punked!" be included somewhere?

I'm sure if this was any other show, people would be nagging the original poster to change the title of the thread, regardless of any headlines. But, whatever.

WickedBoy: That comment was uncalled for. I've met a lot of intelligent, dedicated theatre people who were under 18. And I bet they can all spell "because" and capitalize their "I'm" - things that should've been mastered by first or second grade.

With this kind of investment it looks like PHANTOM is going to be around for a loooooong time.

Ok the world's most pyscho phantom fan is here.....and yeah haha this thread was funny. If Phantom was really closing, you would have seen the HUGE news headlines blaring it on the BWW main page before you clicked over to the message boards, duhhhh. And anyway I read playbill.com first before this site so I knew all about the 4 day va-cay. So who wants to go see the final show with the old sound and the first show with the new sound? And for all you phantom-haters out there, all I gotta say is, to quote that maino song "you see me! hi haters! hi haters!" haha
