Can you see it closing mid-July if sales don't pick up?

Many here thought it wouldn't make it through LAST July...so what do we know?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Raven is there through September, I can't see it closing before then since ticket sales have risen and I'm sure she'll attract tourists.

I hope it closes soon, that show is a waste of a good theater.

Smoke bomb!

I'll say Labor Day as well. Raven will sell tickets during the summer, then it would simply die off it they opted to keep it open during Sept./Oct. The producers are clearly trying recoup the show with Raven, plus rumor was no new show wanted the Broadway theaer this spring.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

But the TV ads claim it's "a classic!"

I concur with the Labor Day sentiment.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Raven does the tour.

And put everyone out of a job? What a pleasant wish you have there! You are aware that there are no new shows looking for theatres at this time and even if there were there are plenty of openings with the recent slew of closings, even the St. James is open for a big splashy musical. The fact is these theatres will likely remain dark all summer. That isn't good for anyone.

Scratch and claw for every day you're worth! Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming You'll live forever here on earth.

"And put everyone out of a job?"

It's called show BUSINESS for a reason. Nothing lasts forever on Broadway. I'm so sick of this puppies and rainbows sentiment that's been going around on this board forever. I really liked SISTER ACT and had a pleasant time, but I think a year and few months run is very good.

"And put everyone out of a job?"

Which is inevitable for a new show to come into the theater and, with it, new jobs.
