They only said they wanted to add a few more weeks at the Hudson. I don't think they want to move to a new theater and become an open run...

Please, no! One self-absorbed navel gazer followed by another on the same stage? Please, no no, no, no, no! The Booth Theatre deserves better. And so do we!

But fate has a way of not allowing us to escape that thing, so who we'd better brace for the worst.

Makes sense... then would 1984 move to Booth? My head is obviously biased since I really really hope Sunday in the Park with George extends past April 23rd but I understand there's little leeway given 1984's start of previews on May 18th!

Just came back from the box office and it seems they've raised the rush price to $45 for the final week of performances.

1984 seems to be saying: we have a contract, a theater, and a plan to move into the Hudson, so GTFO Sunday. I'm paraphrasing. Maybe.

All I'll say is thank god they had an evening show today. I was at the matinee this afternoon and unfortunately the show was virtually taken hostage but a seniors group that was full of loud commentary and inappropriate noise almost non-stop. Thankfully I don't think they heard a lot of it, but at one point, just before (SPOILER) Grandma first mentions killing herself, there was loud yelling in some foreign language, followed by an equally loud explanation in English. Poor Gideon had to pause and look out at the audience for a few seconds with barely hidden anger and confusion. Thankfully though, the audience that actually wanted to be there was fantastic and responsive and them a well-deserved standing ovation.

Any speeches or anything at the final show?

I saw this Saturday night for rush after hemming and hawing and I'm so glad I did.

I found myself laughing quite a bit and also cringing at the bare and utter reality of what I saw on stage with myself and many of my friends. (Side Note: My name is also Jordan, and I am also gay, so I had double bonus cringing every time his name was uttered.)

The final scene was just absolutely heartbreaking to watch because I have felt similarly at watching my female friends end up in relationships and engagements as I stand alone. The line that hit closest to home was the line about how Laura's wedding ultimately means Jordan's "death".

I really appreciated how this play took the "gay best friend" trope and upended it to show that we aren't just a trope, but people with struggles and feelings in love.

They weren't two weeks ago.

They also weren't selling them on Saturday either. They also were pretty much having a half-off fire sale. I got a poster and a t-shirt for $25.
