Posted: 7/16/19 at 11:10amWhat a great, healthy run they’ve had! Such a great show and a female creative team at that!

Yes, a great creative team of women and what a show. Every person who participated in this memorable musical, both on and off the stage, should feel proud.

An excellent run that they should be proud of. They opened the season of HAMILTON and were able to keep going for almost four years. I can't wait to hear the next score Sara Bareilles writes.

Ugh, this breaks my heart 
((((( LOVE this show. Saw it 3X. She Used to Be Mine is now my favorite 11:00 number. Gotta make a return trip in the fall. Congrats to everyone there on a great run.

it's a shame they're closing but it really is about time, especially with grosses either being really great or really poor that they've had to do a buy one get one $2 deal. i love this show! if you haven't seen it, please see it while you have the chance!!

A phenomenal run. I wonder if Bareilles will return to close the show.

One of my all time favorite shows on Bway right now! So lucky to see it twice and can't wait to see it again w/ Colleen and Todrick on the 21st.

I'd love to see Jessie Mueller in a return engagement.

Pull a Hairspray, bring back as many of the OBC as possible.

An amazing show that had a great run!
Really hope that Sara comes back with a new score soon!

This was coming as soon as they announced the tour was going non-equity. It had a very healthy run considering it opened during Hamilton's juggernaut season.
Now the important question is, who closes the show as Jenna? Mueller could return for the final month. I'd also be satisfied if Torns closed the show as Jenna. But I'd be willing to bet that it'll be Bareilles.

Posted: 7/16/19 at 1:41pmBeautiful and occasionally hilarious show. I saw the tour in Costa Mesa back in November!

Beautiful show. I'd be happy to see Bareilles or Mueller close the show. This is a show that was better than anyone predicted I think because of the artistic integrity of Sara Bareilles, who really crafted a wonderful score.

Posted: 7/16/19 at 2:08pmWhat a great run it had. Congrats to all involved. I hope Sara Bareilles continues to write scores for musicals.

I've never seen this show but I think I will before it closes. I'm happy to see the long closing notice and that the show will have another holiday season. Hopefully everyone who wants to see this will have an opportunity to do so now.

Not terribly surprising, but seeing this thread title hurt. I love this show so much (have seen five times, going back next month).
Bringing Sara back is the most obvious choice for the next round of Jenna casting. I hope they give Stephanie a full run (with her own playbill and all) and then go back to Sara to close it out...especially since my partner will only go and see it again if it’s with Sara.
Congrats to everyone involved on a good run.

For what little (or not so little) it's worth:
Both Sara Bareilles and Jason Mraz's current tours end November 26.
