I was thinking that it looks like the revival of Chicago might actually run longer then the original ACL. Anyone else think this might happen>

Certainly.

I do.

It would be a shame if it did. I can't believe people are still flocking to that piece of crap at the Ambassador Theatre.

Wait- which one is at the Ambassador? All I know is that I agree with Kalimba if she's saying A Chorus Line is the most overrated piece of shiite in the history of theater.

Chicago is at the Ambassador - and holding up quite nicely. Was a near SRO this weekend. Don't want to see it, Kalimba? Don't go. The audiences still love it.

ACL closed about a year ago, Joe, but it is doing well on tour.

I really didn't like Chicago when I saw it with the dreadfulness that was Melora Hardin.

They're talking about the original production, love, not the revival.

No, they are talking about the revival of Chicago:

"I was thinking that it looks like the revival of Chicago might actually run longer then the original ACL."

Or were you referring to Chorus Line (because I am not sure who you are addressing)?

I was talking about ghostlight's post, Millie. It said that ACL closed about a year ago.

Blaxx, if you would use posters' names instead of condescending diminutives, people might understand who you're talking to and what you're talking about.

For the record, I personally think that the revival of Chicago has a very good chance of beating out the original ACL.

I always preferred the Original Chicago to a Chorus line in every way.

Blaxx was referring to the post above his which would have been ghostlight's but DCR posted at the same time. Personally, I didn't think it was that hard to figure out who he was talking about.

The show Chicago is good - the present revival is dreadful.

I guess a lot of people were fooled into thinking it was a great show.

As a revival, it is better than most original shows but it is a semi concert version of the original. The original was brilliant.

"Wait- which one is at the Ambassador?"

I was answering Joe's question, blaxx. If he didn't know which show was at the Ambassador, he clearly didn't know that ACL was closed. Hence my post. \

eta: the OP's post was perfectly clear to me.

it seems likely. i love both shows, but ACL is clearly the better show.
