Rumor: CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL to close in August? — Page 3

Y’all.

I literally Just wanted to convey that something wasn’t adding up and share it with the class since - as y’all know - I love this show and will be crushed if it closed this soon.

NO. I don’t want it to close. 

NO. I did not speak to any cast because they often are the last to know and I’m not gonna share speculative information that regards the livelihoods of people’s jobs based on a hunch - as many are friends of mine. Im not gonna send them into a weekend of shows with the cloud that they .may learn they’ll be unemployed soon.

NO. I didn’t intend to use the word “rumor” as a means of kicking up drama. Usually when someone posts a thread of this nature, people pounce if the title isn’t abundantly clear. Maybe I used the wrong word, but I was trying to avoid posting something patently untrue.

I’m sorry if I twisted everyone’s panties, but considering some people might mourn a show they won’t be able to see, I figure this might motivate some people to go if they can, should I be correct.

Quizking is unhinged.  We don’t need his lies on this board.

So, that's the "panic run on ticket sales" I described in Post #21. 

The purpose of your post is in the hope that your post will make that scenario a reality?

I have a ticket for November.  But I'll be in Toronto at the end of the month.  I just priced out making some changes to my trip - leaving T.O. early & flying to NYC for 2 nights and then returning to Vancouver direct on United from Newark.  It adds about an extra 1K CAN$ to my vacation before I've even bought show tckets.  Unfortunately not in my budget.  If it closes & I didn't get to see it c'est la vie.

quizking no need to defend yourself. you were perfectly clear, and others here are either conflating your paranoia/concern with EDSO's delusion, OR purposefully misinterpreting what you wrote, OR have serious reading comprehension problems. All should be ignored.

As for CATS closing, who knows, but its struggle is a friendly reminder that the theater nerd / LGBTQ community is NEVER going to be enough to sustain a Bway run. It has to breakthrough and the marketing hasnt done that....
