THE NOTEBOOK to Close on Broadway on December 15, 2024 — Page 2

I don't think this will last until Dec. 15. Wishful thinking I guess. There's almost no advance for this show in September.

DramaTeach said: "ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Whatever is opening at the Schoenfeld in the spring must be starting previews in late January or February — and a major artist schedule is probably dictating that. I can’t think of another reason why Notebook would close right before Christmas."

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.

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.

While true, The Great Gatsby is fun and looks expensive which is what people want out of pricey Broadwayshows these days (according to their grosses)."

Gatsby felt created by people who watched the Baz film one time and said “yeah it’ll be something like that”

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.

Sutton Ross said: "Ha, 100%. I love yourcomment. But, their socials are hot, they have two really popular leads, and it looks great. It's cotton candy but it's absolutely delicious ;)

Gatsby’s social media is better than the show. And it’s free.

Would tgat even work in a Broadway house that isn't Circle in the Square?"

Get a runway, get stadium seats for each side (like spring awakening) put some cabaret tables/couches and call it a day. It would be perfect in there

Add one to the Buena Vista tally. I’ve heard they secured a house for the spring.

Really sad to see this go. A lot to like here.

Why is this allowed?? Why would they let everyone jump ship at the end?

I too thought Cardoza would close out Notebook and join Rouge shortly after the holidays.
