I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2.

I thought it was the 09-10 season. But who knows what kind of clauses were written into the deal that we have no clue about.

That said, I don't think they have anything transfer-ready at this very moment, so I doubt it has anything to do with 2econd Stage. I'm slightly more edgy about a theory posited on the now-deleted thread. Which I don't think would help that show either...not by pushing another show out early.

Wickedboy2 go post on a West End or Wicked message board and leave us Fanadu's alone. No one needs your sarcasm right now. This thread is for fans to talk about their feelings for the show and the people involved with the show. If you are so involved in the theatre then what the hell are you doing posting on fan based message board threads every few minutes? You must be REAL important in the business!

Almost as sad as the insensitivity of some bitter old queen from across the pond who has nothing better to do than make sarcastic remarks. Guess he/she is out of work right now, since he/she has so much time on his/her hands. On the dole, I would guess.

I'm so sad, I loved this show. My first time seeing it, I got tickets to it not knowing the story, and simply got the tickets because I saw "on-stage" seats and just had to get them, I have always dreamed of being on a Broadway stage and XANADU gave me that chance. I also just fell in love with the show! I saw it a second time with Whoopi, loved it all over again. I had tickets for October 12th, now I have for this Sunday, it will be a very sad day.


Wickedboy, do you really think it is smart to annoy a ton of sad/frustrated fans? Go back to your board, or you will see what really happens when someone is disliked on the Broadway board.

I was able to nab a not-so-great orchestra seat for this Sunday's performance. Telecharge was really nice about it. I'd had one for the October 12th performance and they notified me right away. And you know what? If the powers that be changed their minds AGAIN (I know, not likely) I wouldn't hold it against them -- just be grateful for yet another opportunity to see the show.

Now let's see what we can do to discourage some of our nasty posters from across the pond to stop insulting us all the time.

The notion that something else is afoot is silly. Yes, the original closing date was selling well. That ONE PERFORMANCE was selling well. The performances between now and then? Not so much. They announced the original date over a week ago, and guess what? This week saw very little change in the gross. Two horrible, money losing weeks in a row. Everyone was buying up that last show, and nothing before then. They probably would have lost a LOT more money had they stayed open.

I'm sure they appreciate the fans (God knows I appreciate the die hard fans of my own show), but a good producer knows when it's time to call it quits. And if the sales looked just as bad for next week, and the weeks after, it makes sense to close now and stop the money losses. It sucks, but it's the business.

A show doesn't continue to run on Broadway for it's fanbase. A show continues to run on Broadway because it's making enough to do so.

It really is sad. I'm going to miss having XAN on the Great White Way. But it's understandable, that's all I'm saying.

Why continue to dwell on the depressing side of things, when one can look forward to the bright future this show will have on the road, and in the regionals.

It's been a rough day for me... I couldn't even focus on my math test.

I did poorly on my test because the show's closing notice.
The show is closing because of the economy.
The economy is Bush's fault.
I fail out of college because of Bush.

What a jerk.

I have onstage tickets for Thursday (CANNOT wait) and tickets in the balcony for Sunday. It's going to be a very emotional weekend.

I doubt she'd miss at this point. I really hope she doesn't, anyway.

When Xanadu first opened, before I had any interest I thought Xanadu was pronounced as "ex-ana-du". Sad, right?

Still can't believe it's closing.

I had no idea what it was when it was announced... or why anyone cared about it so much. I didn't know it was a cinematic flop or anything. It all sounded very weird to me.

Wasn't Cheyenne not originally set to play Sonny? Wasn't it some other guy? Crazy how that worked out... I can't imagine anyone else in the part.
