Will it extend beyond next January or does it depend on how it does at the Tony awards?

It depends on how it does at the box office.

ljay889, I think Keith is referring to the fact that tickets are on sale only through January 2009.

No! It'll close and never open again.

Last I heard it was extended until sometime in 2009. I don't think I ever read anywhere as to when in 09 it was going to be extended to but only that it was going to play into next year.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the show is going to be an open run. It is selling well enough to be one.

It's an open-ended run, but yes, it will certainly open up a new block of tickets after January 09. It's gonna run for a while...

It is an open-ended run and will easily run into the winter of 2010.

I guess Lincoln Center would have to put on subscription shows in other houses, like Roundabout used to do.

That wouldn't be unusual for them. They mounted Seascape and Awake and Sing during The Light in the Piazza's run.

I'm sure this show will run and run but don't count on Szot, Morrison, and O'Hara to be staying in the show beyond January.
