Posted: 7/22/04 at 8:50amOK -- which shows do you think closed too early and were never allowed to build an audience -- to the top of my list would be Jane Eyre

There are so many. Some may not necessarily have built are larger audiences, but in my opinion, they are great shows that didn't deserve to close (not taking into account any economic factors). Here are a few (on and off-Broadway):
Parade
Last Five Years
Assassins
Jane Eyre
There are more, but it's much too early for me to be able to think of them.

Thank you for mentioning Into the Woods. 
Nine was prematurely killed by bad casting.

Posted: 7/22/04 at 11:28amEmcee, besides TABOO all those shows had very healthy runs. While some of them were fantastic shows, it will be good to get some new shows on those stages. It's no fun to only have the same things playing. It's kind of like going to the movies and them always showing the same things.
