WOW.
At least I got to see Applegate in it. I do feel bad for Charlotte though. This could have been her chance to really shine.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:40pmI blame this all on Corine2.
#3re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement
Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:40pmI feel bad for all of the actors who are now out of work, but I can't say that I'm surprised.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:40pmHoly sh*t.
#5re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement
Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:40pmI consider myself lucky to have seen Charlotte in it.

WHOA. I'm floored!
Poor sales in general, or poor sales b/c of Christina's foot? Or bad news in general w/ the company that we don't know about? And what will go in the Hirschfeld now?
Conspiracy theorists, fire away....

Whoa.
I'm really glad I saw the show in Chicago. That's really too bad, though, for everyone involved.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:42pmWow is right. Well, I will be returning my ticket for a refund and finding another show to see my first evening in New York, June 21st. I just find this very interesting after all the denials, just today!

Was the show bad? Poor sales? Her injury? Why cancel?
I'm afraid I'm not up-to-date on this production.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:43pmWow indeed. This is the stuff of Legend. I'm so glad I saved my playbill. I'm just sorry that I never got to see either of the "marquee" names. Who's going to write the book about this?
#13re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement
Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:43pmThis show wasn't exactly setting box office records when Christina was in the show. I can hardly imagine what they turned into when Charlotte joined.

So sad for Christina. I know she wanted this.
Hopefully, she'll be in something, soon, and if she is, it will come to LA, as that will be my new residence coming July...
#15re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement
Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:45pmThis is the worst news I've heard all day. Charlotte is a real trooper and should be commended for stepping in on such short notice. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, an amazing ensemble with some of the best dancers around! This is truly a crying shame.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:49pmI was actually looking forward to it, when Charlotte stepped up to the plate. More so, with the NYTimes' big article on her in today's Weekend section.

WHOAAAAAAAAAAA!
At least La Cage will get its Tony for Best Revival now..
I was really looking forward to seeing this though 
#18re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement
Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:54pmApparently the producers were already feeling the brunt of canceled group ticket sales, which made up a huge part of their 2M advance. It's a shame for everyone involved, but that's life in the theatre.

Posted: 3/25/05 at 5:59pmOMG- I'd already forgotten about that huge article in today's Times! I can't believe they didn't even give it time to see if it sold any tickets. And, I wanted to add, I am sorry for Charlotte! And poor Denis misses out on another Tony, too. What a mess this is!
#21re: Sweet Charity Cancels Broadway Engagement

Wow. That's a real shame.
I guess La Cage is set for a tony.

I feel privileged at seeing the show in Minneapolis. I felt honored to have met Denis O'Hare. I enjoyed the music, the crazy costumes for the "Frug", and the choreography for the "Frug", but the show itself was not one that I walked out feeling jazzed about. So, my signed playbill by Mr. O'Hare, Ms. Applegate, and Mr. Sabella is a treasure. I wish everyone involved much success on their next endeavours.
