The Roundabout reports that they will announce the future of Assassins and its rumored "re-extention" on Tuesday July 6th.

uh oh. i hope that it will last a bit longer. I really want to see the production.
UUGGGHHHHH. Can't they make up their minds?!
Does anyone know if they've made up their mind yet?
I also hope they extend again! This is a show I felt I had to see again. There was so much to take in.

I hope they record it for PBS like the other great Sondheim Shows.
Maybe no news is good news???
I'm pretty sure it will close. In any event, I have a ticket on the 18th.
Keep your fingers crossed!

i called roundabout earlier and they were supposed to decide by 6 tonight - has anybody called yet?
Don't you all think it MAY have something to do with the STRIKE? They are probably waiting to hear about that. If there is a strike, they can just say "we're closing" if no stirke,"Okay, we'll stay open a bit longer." It don't take an Einstien to figure it out.
I'm hoping that no news is good news. I'm really hoping it doesn't close so soon!!
People at ROUNDABOUT: I'm dying here!! Give us news!!!

But Assassins would still run if there was a strike, I don't think that should affect anything.
Ugh! Who's stupid idea was it to announce a "possible closing, if advance ticket sales don't pick up?" Because of course no one will buy dates into an extension, if they know the show might close!

They would actually benefit from a strike - they'd be one of the few things open.
how could they perform?arent they equity?
Roundabout is on a different contract...
Yeah!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thus my astonishing contribution to this thread.
