TRAILER PARK to close Sunday — Page 3

Its *definitely* been changed to January? I ask only because my friends (same ones who heard some rumblings in the theatre tonight that it wasn't closing) were talking with the cast after the show, and the cast basically said no one knows what's going on, and that they won't know until basically Saturday or Sunday.

so thanks to this thread my friend and I went from "yeah it's on my list to see" to "OMG we have to go see this before Sunday!!!" and so we went tonight (Wed) and it is hilarious! Thanks thread starter for lighting that fire and making us go. :)

It's possible that we have a weird sense of humor, as some of the other folks in the audience were not laughing as hard or as long as we were (this includes the old guy sitting in the row in front of me who fell asleep (!) and started snoring (!!) during the show) but I loved it- songs were funny, jokes were funny, I especially loved Marya Grandy and Orfeh (Linoleum and Pippi) but all of the cast (we had a Jeannie understudy) were good, loved the way they broke the 4th wall in places by talking directly to the audience at times (including mocking the late arrivals), $21 student ticket price was good, everything was good.

And yeah, the official announcement made after the BCEFA plea was that they were given a provisional closing date of Sunday, unless they can get more butts in the seats.

And for those interested there was a slip in the Playbill, a sign up to be on the alert list for the cast recording release, you can email trailerpark@sh-k-boom.com to get added to the alert list.

I'm seriously sitting here laughing to my self at how ridiculous you all sound, like you're annoyed that it's now (maybe) not closing, esp, Fishergirl. Wouldn't that make you happy? I, for one, would be thrilled if I got to see this a few more times. Has everyone forgotten, Urban Cowboy put up a closing notice the same night it opened and continued to run for what,a few weeks more? Maybe the same producers that were dumb enough to put up a closong notice before Christmas and before the cast album came out, realized it was in fact BAD TIMING. Quit "blaming" the cast.

ruprecht, I don't mean to come across as though I'm upset they're *not* closing, and I apologize if it sounds like that. I was just surprised that the boost in sales the closing notice mentioned happened so quickly. I love this show and just don't want to get my hopes up that its definitely extending until there's official notice. But from things being said on ATC, and by what Jane's said, it seems like it will be extending, which is most definitely good news.

So what's the latest? Is the show closing on Sunday or changing the closing date?

The other day I was told the decision might not be made until tomorrow. It's very confusing and very frustrating as well. Hopefully I will find out in the next few hours what exactly is going on.

Word over on ATC is that things aren't looking good for the extension. :-/

Another undeserved casualty.

You will see more of this as prices go up & people start cutting down on the number of shows they see. This is my theory but whatever the reason it is a crying shame for such an entertaining show

It is official. The show is closing on Sunday. Several of the cast members already have other projects lined up, and some have auditioned for major upcoming shows.

I just got back from tonight's performance which was archived for Lincoln Center. The cast all gave incredible performances, probably the best they'd ever given in this show(and believe me I've seen it enough to know). SO, for anyone who didn't have the opportunity to visit the Trailer Park and has access to the library, I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

I was there, too. I needed one last "Make Like a Nail" fix from my beloved Orfeh. So much for Jane2's sources, huh? The show IS closing.

Orfeh gave one of the best BC/EFA speeches I've seen and raised over a thousand dollars auctioning off two of those UGLY posters (!). And then she sang a crazy Mariah-esque version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and had the audience eating out of the palm of her hands. It was sooooo good. Marya Grandy took off her shirt, Leslie Kritzer did a split... they were pulling out all the stops. I LOVE THIS CAST.

Quick question: When do student rush tickets go on sale? When the box office opens or two hours before the performance?

Not sure if either of you are still around to read this, bwaybabe and ruprecht, but Orfeh told a bunch of us last night that the rush for *both* shows today will go on sale (for a limited window of time), at noon. I don't know how long this apparent "limited window of time" is, though. Hopefully you guys see this in time and manage to get down there!
