To my understanding, the LATEST they can extend to is October 26th, but that remains to be determined

That Times review by the new Brittani Samuels is a joke.  Let’s hope that was a trial review.  I’m not sure she saw the same show. Yikes for the Times

I was kinda hoping this would get a rapturous response and get fast-tracked to Broadway to wake up a sleepy season for musicals. But maybe it needs more time to get fine-tuned…

Huh? It’s a mixed-positive, without a critic’s pick, and is hardly a radical outlier opinion. She liked it more than you did, that’s all.

She liked it more than everybody did. Much more positive than literally everybody else who said the book is a mess and the lyrics do nothing and the direction is horrid

I enjoyed the show but even I'm suprised at how positive the Times review is. I thought Sauja put it best when they said "Listen. If they scrap the book and the score, they might have something…" I actually didn't think the score was as bad as the book, which is saying a lot because it's pretty generic and repetitive. I think the show has potential, but it needs a lot of work.

Are you saying it was Broadway ready?  But the reviews make it not Broadway ready?

I say this is the last thing Broadway needs right now.  Hell, Off Broadway doesn't need this show!   LOL

No way and heck would this last on Broadway. Let it have it's run off broadway as the audience is very limited for this show.
