Is this real? They're closing because they are expecting a low advance? Jesus. Talk about jumping the gun. I feel bad for the company

Agreed! They have more then just her name to sell tickets. I don't fully believe this one

How is a show that's bringing in nearly one million a week and playing to 99% capacity closing? Was the advanced ticket drop off that steep after Audra's scheduled departure? This is WEIRD

I have to assume the other stars' salaries, combined with an awful advance, prompted this decision.
I wonder if we will get a cast recording

Just surprised they couldn't wait until end of summer season.
im shocked given all the rave reviews and the ~100% occupancy rate each week.

Pretty douchy move on Rudin's part to lay this on Audra's shoulders and basically blame her for everyone loosing their jobs.

I guess this goes to show that Audra was the reason people were buying tickets. I wasn't familiar with the singer they hired to replace her, but they really should have gone for a bigger name if the entire production was so dependent on her ticket sales.

I feel bad for Rihannon.

I feel like this show does have fairly high operating costs, but this is still pretty shocking news. With this, AAIP, Fun Home, Bright Star and TKAI, June is turning into quite the bloodbath!

Not even the fact that Savion Glover was suppose to go into the show.

Won't this make Waitress the only new spring musical to survive the summer?
