According to ATC. Apparently, the cast and crew were told an hour ago.

Noooooo! I never got to see this, and I wanted to uber-badly.

Oh sad!

why? Has the attendance been really bad or something?

I imagine so. Too bad, because the show really did have some very good points.

That sucks. At least they'll have a cast recording to be remembered by.

What?! That's the saddest thing I've heard in a while. Anyone with the means, I HIGHLY recommend you check it out while it's still around.

Wow, I'm really bummed about this.

Such a funny and entertaining show. So sad to see it gone so quickly - was hoping it would last until at least the end of the year.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I want to see this show so badly! Ahhh!!

I hate saying it, but it's actually been doing better at the box office than Altar Boyz. So I don't think bad attendance is its reason for closing so suddenly.

I really hope this is not true...I saw this show in previews and really enjoyed it!!


Is there any confirmation of this?....

[thespian geek]

Posted: 11/28/05 at 6:32pm

It's true. There just hasn't been a PR on it yet.

[new_philosophy_girl]

Posted: 11/28/05 at 6:37pm

such a shame...

[fishergirl819]

Yes, it's true. Barring a sudden spike in ticket sales, it'll play it's last show Sunday night.

And while it seems they've been doing better than ABz lately, I actually heard that its heavily comped lately. So who knows.

I hadn't heard about it being heavily comped lately. Hm..

[melissa errico fan]

Posted: 11/28/05 at 6:42pm

It has been pretty heavily comped throughout its entire run.

[JACXR71]

Posted: 11/28/05 at 6:56pm

Out of curiosity, what else would cause a show to close so suddenly and with such short notice?

And if the reason is low ticket sales, is it normal for such an abrupt closing? I mean, I've heard of shows closing due to poor ticket sales, but giving the cast less than a week's notice? Is this common?

Aw, that's too bad. My mom loved it and I was kinda hoping I'd get to see it.

What a shame

A really entertaining show

does anyone know for sure if it is closing on sunday? i called telecharge and they are selling tickets until march. they don't know anything about it. if anyone has confirmation please let me know

[magic8ball]

Although it hasn't been selling well (they haven't been comping it as much recently, and the turnout has been extremely poor), it's still rather shocking that they're giving everyone such short notice.

Honestly, if anyone hasn't seen this show yet and has any inkling to do so, buy tickets and go. You won't regret it. It's got some pretty fabulous moments as well as performances that should not be missed.
