They'll have to extend because he won't be able to shut up.

I hope they film this one too. His last Broadway special is one of my favorites.

Considering that nothing is scheduled right after this, I definitly see it extending. I would expect those 5 dates to sell out quickly.

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.

Yes -- and to preemptively answer the question that is bound to be ask, don't hold your breath for any discounts.

Well I now have a new most anticipated show of the spring!!

There isn't a page up yet on Ticketmaster and Williams' site has absolutely no information about this yet, so we probably won't know ticket prices until they go on sale Sunday.

Five-minute break? What are you a construction worker? Woo hoo! Hey, baby, I'm not gay. Does this dress make my ass look fat? Hmmm! Five minute break!

A little bit more info can be found on the Fansite

RW's official site and sometimes Ticketmaster are a little late and incomplete when providing information...

Here's a link to the page for the May 1st performance on ticketmaster, which I bookmarked for use tomorrow morning:

A poster on ATC also mentioned that there are tickets for $151, $101 and $71, so at least there's a bit of a range.

Hopefully this'll pave the way for my "RV: The Musical" libretto to get produced.

Just got my ticket for May 1st. Row O in the mezzanine for $70. I went back and checked what $100 would get me and Row S in the orchestra on the aisle popped up. I'm kinda regretting going the cheap route, but whatever. Regardless, I'm excited to see this. Updated On: 3/1/09 at 08:17 AM

His last show in 2002 was pretty funny. What kind of show is it? Is he doing stand-up?

[frogs_fan85]

Yes, it's basically a stop on his stand-up tour.
