Jeez, did not see that coming. I feel especially for Ciara Renee, whose Frozen and Waitress engagements both lasted like two weeks. ![]()

So sad to hear this, and so grateful to have squeezed it in last week. Henry and Renee were both doing beautiful work.

Well at least Waitress was always supposed to be a limited run unlike Frozen and Mean Girls (Think Frozen was more of a shock than MG ) ....The London production also closed in the same eerily way in March 2020 a few months before it was supposed to close ....

really enjoyed this a few weeks ago. sad news for the cast, especially Renee. Ouch.
that said, these are purely business decisions. im surprised it took them this long-- if the show is shuttered, you're losing money that a week of January performances won't make up. (said like debra monk): its a business and many of these production budgets are vulnerable.
and unlike mean girls/frozen, i am confident this will be revived and has a nice spot in the canon. happy trails.

Let's get Ciara a big hit show next year please. Poor girl deserves a run longer than a month!
