Another pleasantly entertaining show bites the dust.
It will not be the last. It was not great but it was a fun night at the theater.
It should definitely have a life after Broadway.

So with this, is On the Town the last show from this past season that's struggling? Cause all the other shows (Fun Home, Something Rotten, AAIP, The King and I & Finding Neverland) are all killing it at the box office.
It's a shame, but not an unexcepeted one.

Ridiculous. Such a great night at the theatre. I wonder if the Brook Atkinson will be the home of American Pyscho or maybe Tuck Everlasting

Probably. Neither one does anything for me.

The timing of this suggests that the departure is not about the producers unwillingness to continue losing money but rather the landlord's desire to free up the theatre for a new tenant in the fall...

This show was made for community theater. If the powers that be are smart, they'll start licensing this ASAP.

In the BWW article they say that they're gonna start licensing through MTI.

Another reason a cast album was done.

When I heard the announcement that they were making a cast album, I knew the show was closing!
Happy Closing and best wishes to cast and crew

Because if the show were staying open, they wouldn't record an OCR?

The cast album plus the fact that the grosses have been horrible.

I agree with those who forecast a bight future in community and some regionals. And stock. And colleges. I think like the popular Joe DiPietro plays which clean up everywhere, it has wide appeal.

Sad. Loved this show and was really hoping that it would start to catch on.

Tuck is going to a Shubert house, and not sure about American Psycho.

Posted: 6/30/15 at 9:49pmA rather optimistically far-off sate, but maybe that's a wise move.

American Psycho is also going into a Shubert house. Maybe Dear Evan Hansen, or Little Dancer, or First Wives Club, or Ever After.

Gotta give credit to the rich producers who kept this show running.. I guess they are willing to flush another million down the toilet. What will the total loss be-10 million?

Good riddance to a hackneyed, cliché-ridden, moronic, cheaply-produced mediocrity.
Good luck to the cast and creative team on their next projects.

Gotta agree here. I really didn't enjoy this show at all.

I saw this show last night thanks to someone providing me with a free ticket.
While I didn't hate the show by any means, it certainly wasn't anything special either.
At best, I would call the show pleasant. The material was definitely cliche at times and the music was often forgettable, but I think a lot of the actors helped keep the material somewhat bearable.
I think the plot twist might make it a little harder of a sell in more conservative areas, but despite that, this show is the definition of what I can see succeeding splendidly in community and regional theatres.
At most, I chuckled maybe twice but other wise I spent most of the show either cracking a slight smile or not really responding...the audience ate it up though.

How would the plot twist keep someone from seeing it because it is surprised?
I am , I would guess , a moderate. The twist did not bother me on the slightest. Never assume.

Posted: 7/1/15 at 10:58amI thought it looked really cute. Something that would probably go over well with the PBS crowd. Perhaps they can record it and put in on during the fundraising time.
