I don't think this will last until Dec. 15. Wishful thinking I guess. There's almost no advance for this show in September.
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.
Joy Woods is a star and I'm glad more people got to see that. This show had so much potential and could have been great but it really fell flat for me.

Could that be where Othello is going?"
Could be Othello, or Good Night & Good Luck, or Dorian Grey, or Glengarry. Or a musical where the author or director only has a limited window of time between January and April (BVSC? N2N?). But now I'm just naming all the shows circling Broadway for next year. We'll probably get an announcement next week or the week after.

This is the right answer, I believe, for folks asking why they aren't going to stay open for the holiday weeks...the more likely scenario is that it'll closer even sooner if the news can't lift ticket sales. sad but true.

There's also Dead Outlaw.

But like Gatsby, this was missing a core intelligence.
While true, The Great Gatsby is fun and looks expensive which is what people want out of pricey Broadway shows these days (according to their grosses).
While closing before the end of the year might seem odd remember that during the holiday weeks Broadway shows play adjusted schedules with added performances, this means overtime for the crew and cast which adds to the running costs, that probably factored in choosing the closing date.
Ingrid Michaelson shared that today also marked the 10th anniversary of the passing of her mother. What a touching tribute to her mother and The Notebook. She wrote such an incredibly wonderful score for this show and I’m sure her mother would be so proud of Ingrid.

Gatsby felt created by people who watched the Baz film one time and said “yeah it’ll be something like that”
Ha, 100%. I love your comment. But, their socials are hot, they have two really popular leads, and it looks great. It's cotton candy but it's absolutely delicious ;)

Overtime that almost always pays off for the production because of the rise in tourism & sales at that time of year. Christmas week can often make up for losses sustained in the slow periods of September-November. But at least they get Thanksgiving and earlier-December traffic.

Gatsby’s social media is better than the show. And it’s free.
I've said this pretty much since the beginning but if they just took the exact Here Lies Love setup from the Broadway and replaced the side stages with cabaret tables it would be almost perfect

It's called HAVING A JOB! You seem to forget that actors like John rely on jobs like this to help pay their bills, as living in NYC ain't cheap! That's showbusiness for ya!
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince
