I laugh at those who leave at intermission. If you want to waste $100 dollars in that way, than that is your issue. Not only are you wasting money, that is disrespectful to the cast (even if they don't know you left, I find it disrespectful.)

Disrespectful is leaving before an act is over - to both the cast and the audience. There is nothing wrong with leaving at intermission.

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

I can have my own beliefs, thank you.

And you are entitled to them, as am I.

Thanks for your mature point of view baddadnpa.

I took no pleasure in wasting one hundred dollars. I am no glutton for punishment and had to leave at intermission to avoid any more torure. ActI showed me nothing, not a glimmer of hope that ActII would be any better. I repeat, I went to this how with high hopes.

I've never walked out of a show. Besides the cost, I've never seen anything truly so horrific that I couldn't get through another hour. Second act is almost always shorter than the first.

I really couldn't stomach staying for Act II.
Furthermore I found it disrespectful of the producers and director to think it was ok to pawn off this horrid load of crap on any audience.

What was the show - you can PM it to me.

I've left shows at intermission. Sometimes wasted time is more precious then wasted money.

I wish this show all the best. I hear Charlotte d'Amboise is a wonderful Charity Hope Valentine with a playful and endearing personality...plus she's got great legs! The ensemble is gorgeous as well...such amazing dancers.

Well now that we know the show is closing...

I'm glad that Barry was honest and didn't do the whole, "we're closing to retool" routine.

This is the kind of painful decision that actually earns respect in this town. Apparently, the theatre community rallied around David Merrick when he decided to close BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS rather then subject New York to a "boring and inferior evening at the theatre."

This decision is just painful, period.

How long will it take Walter Bobbie to recover from this? I know he has South Pacific coming up this June, and White Christmas this fall, but will he be allowed a Broadway opening show again any time soon? I've been rooting for this guy for years, and I am truly upset that this show won't run.

Well I was wrong, wasn't I? I have to say that for many reasons I am stunned that the Weisslers threw in the towel. But there we are.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.
