Spring Awakening to Close January 18 — Page 6

drama, it think the economy has a lot to do with it. I am no expert but the show has recouped and from looking back has been running without selling out every night. My understanding is that it is not an expensive show to run. I am willing to bet that advance sales are not good and they decided to "quit while they are ahead" so to speak. Advance sales are not good for a lot of other shows from what I am reading. And it will be interesting to see how not only the tour for this show goes, but how all of the touring shows are going to fare in the next year.

My friend is at the show now and rushed this morning. She said the rush was crowded and she got last row seats in the mezzanine and she called me and said the line to get in the theater was pretty long and then once she got in, she texted me saying it's empty and they moved her seats to third row center mezzanine.

Odd...

i saw the show for the first time today and i loved it. im surprised a show with that calibur would be hurting from the recession it looked pretty packed but that might be because it's closing. i thought that cast was great hunter parrish was great and i LOVED the girl who played wendla. idk how the compare to teh obc but i liked them alot.

Adam -- in case you aren't kidding -- between 3 and 4 hundred seats are being held for invited guests....I'd keep checking as some of them will get released as the date gets closer. (probably).

Weekends are always more full - during the week it has been dismal. (just check the grosses over the last few months)
