Posted: 4/14/14 at 12:21pmIt will run until the producers decide it is no longer profitable and it will close.

If it sells a good % of tickets, it will stay open.
When it stops selling a certain % of tickets, it will close.

The BWW users love to prove that they're witty.
Personally, my guess it that it will run for a little under a year. I mean, there's no telling, but I don't think it will last too long unless they get stellar big name replacements.

There's nothing very witty about our responses.
Especially to a non question. What aspect of the future? The length of the run? Future cast replacements? Future awards? Future box office? Future touring plans? If they had asked after the grosses were posted for the week, they could speculate on it being higher or lower than they expected... but you ask none of that, you get vagueness.

We're not psychics here, you know. (I am not, I know that.)
I think a lot depends on the awards season and how Bullets does, as well as the new crop of shows coming in the fall. If it makes enough money, it will last. If it doesn't, it will close. It's really that simple.

I'm guessing they will at least see what will happen at the Tonys and decide from there

Count me among those who think that this question, posed four days after the show opened, is preposterous. It's not like Bullets was universally panned. It received rave reviews from a fair number of widely read critics (the AP, USA Today, Time, the WSJ, the Chicago Tribune and EW to name some not all.). What I expect will happen is that the show will use the bounty of great pull quotes it has from those reviews and go on an aggressive marketing campaign that will likely last through the Tonys. And speaking of the Tonys, the race is wide open, and who knows, it's not the craziest idea in the world to think that Bullets could walk away with the prize. I'm not saying it's likely, just that it's possible. Plus, when it comes to musicals, the most important thing is not a review in the NYT, but word of mouth. If people who see the show and tell their friends to go see it, it could run for a long time. Or, it could close in September.
I guess we will all have to wait and see, won't we?

Posted: 4/14/14 at 2:26pmThe grosses from last week will not even be a good indication of ticket sales since it was opening and critic's week, lots of papering. But I do think they will advertise aggressively, but that doesn't usually help if word of mouth is poor.

Posted: 4/14/14 at 2:44pm^ I agree with you.

Posted: 4/14/14 at 3:39pmI had no interest in seeing this show. I saw it based on word of mouth. Unfortunately I shoulda gone with my initial instinct. No one will be seeing it based on words from MY mouth!!!

Posted: 4/14/14 at 6:20pmBut Aladdin got better reviews and that's saying something

Same here! Ugh, a waste of time. I need to stop listening to what people say...

Posted: 4/14/14 at 6:30pmDo what I do. See what you most want to see. I rarely let myself down!

Posted: 4/14/14 at 6:31pmWell even with a lot of comps from opening night, they had a pretty solid week last week.

Posted: 4/14/14 at 8:29pmI can't read your mind Willrogers2008 but I presume you have been interested and activly following all and any report on this show. Think you are just throwing it out there to see what sort of legs that a show like this might have. Bullets has an incredible mix of the old time musical characters and mostly recognisable music-good or bad idea, that non theatre regular would enjoy-not much thinking[not an insult] but lots of fun. There are many artists that could keep this running for years, touring and on Broadway .

Dear friend: I do not live in the United States but since CRAZY FOR YOU, I've been attending all Susan Stroman shows (including HAPPINESS and BIG FISH). So, I am looking foward to seeing BULLETS next September when my sister will have a serious surgery and I will be in New York to assist her. I can not leave my Country before this date.So, that's the reason of my question, I've been waiting for BULLETS OVER BROADWAY since the first news about it.I am very sorry for any inconvenience my question had in the group. Thank you.
