Posted: 2/22/07 at 8:24pmFinally! They announced it! They should have let the show leave on a high note.

I guess the dynamic duo will not be returning
Will they keep the theater empty until YF?

I do it all the time with the Sunday NY Times Art Section at work. We get it in on Saturdays and put it together Sunday morning. :)
Well, it had a good run, and was successful, no harm in closing after 6 years. That's a great run.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 8:49pmSad to see it go, but with the grosses over the past few weeks/months make this is understandable. Looks like I'll be heading over to the box office tomorrow afternoon to see what's available.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 10:13pmI kind of hate The Producers for starting the $100 ticket trend, but in and of itself it's a good, fun show. And six years, as someone above said, is a nice healthy run. Better that than to just go on and on and on thanks to unthinking tourists. Goodbye, show.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 10:16pmIt should have closed long ago. "The Producers" is one of the most overrated shows to ever hit Broadway.

The first time I saw THE PRODUCERS I laughed more than I ever had at any show, ever. And then I saw AVENUE Q.
Farewell, PRODUCERS.

Yeah, so long Bialy. It was a nice run, wasn't it?
What about Follies?
#19re: 'The Producers' closing April 22, 2007
Posted: 2/22/07 at 11:11pmSad to see it go, but nothing lasts forever. Had some of the loudest and deepest laughs ever while watching this show. I know it had alot of detractors but I loved it. Too bad it closed before I could move to NY and use my Matthew Broderick like looks to land an understudy role for Leo.

I did love this show. Saw it thrice, once with the dynamic duo - though one of them proved to be not so dynamic.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 11:16pmAnd cheers to Angie Schworer who has essentially been the only (there was one other shortly after Huffman left) Ulla replacement for the show's entire run.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 11:17pmShe was great in that part. I second that.

Posted: 2/22/07 at 11:18pmI can't honestly say I'm sorry to see it go.

^^ I can. I'm really upset...I thought it was going to stay open until summer. 
I was hoping to see it once more before it closed (I don't live in NYC).
