I would rather see Jamie Lynn's baby as Klio 
Now, back to the topic. I think [TOS] will probably be closing soon. As much as I LOVE the show the numbers aren't too good. And hopefully Blonde not too long after it.

I remember reading from a couple of different users in a couple of recent threads that when they went and saw Legally Blonde the Palace was pretty empty. Honestly if Legally Blonde closed tomorrow I would think it had a pretty decent run on Broadway. Keep in mind that playing a little over a year in one of Broadways biggest theatres is nothing to scoff at. That is a theatre that is hard to get an audience into because of the mass size.
I also think that Title Of Show will be gone soon for the reasons that were already said. I will admit that the more I watch the Title of Show Show the more I want to see it. And, there might be a small chance that I would be kicking myself for not seeing it before I went away to school.
As for Avenue Q. I am not sure I would consider Romano stunt casting. Sure, if Even Stevens was still on the air I might feel differently. But, seeing that that show went off the air five years ago I am not sure. I honestly feel that the producers thought that people might find it interesting to see a person who once was a Disney performer, who stared in a Disney show on Broadway up onstage cursing and fornicating with puppets.

LB was pretty empty Thursday night, but from what I've heard from people at shows this week, EVERYTHING was pretty empty, except for the "big three" ( Wicked, Lion King, and Jersey Boys).
I think LB will be around until the new year, then close I suspect also it might recoup sometime before it closes.

Guys and Dolls will likely be playing the Nederlander after renovations are complete. West Side Story will probably play the Palace.

[TOS} (I must see it before it does)
Spamalot after Clay leaves.
Xanadu may hold on a bit but probably will be gone around April if they're lucky.
LB
(keep in mind these are purely guesstamites)
And why does everyone seem to think Spring Awakening is leaving...? I don't see it as slowing down THAT much.

I hope it's Legally Blonde, I love the show but West Side Story deserves the Palace.
Also, I demand to hear about this stunt casting for Xanadu.

Soon, soon... I hope-- And as Midnight said... should eclipse Whoopi.
Liked Whoopi, and she was was great for the box office, but so glad Jackie is back !!

I read a blurb about Huey Lewis may be eyeing Tony Roberts role. That would be awesome but I don't think that would eclipse Whoopi.
PS: I'm glad Jackie's back too 
and I will be there this Friday - yay.

very good work, Alf!
I think it's basically official that WSS will take the Palace, LB will close, TOS will close, GUYS & DOLLS will take the Nederlander, and SPRING AWAKENING will attempt to make it through the winter before closing in the spring!
there you go.

[title of show]
I haven't seen the show and I don't wish it any harm but from what I understand it seems they should of kept it Off-Broadway.

From what I am told, a big celebrity will be stepping into the role of Melpomene
and a Broadway veteran will be taking over for Tony Roberts
But that is all I can say!

Dont leak it, Midnight (as much as everyone wants to !) :))
Just adding... as far as I know, both are filling in for 6 week periods, not permanantely.

Well... I've seen Joel Grey hanging around the HH a couple of times talking to people. Could it be Grey & and maybe LIZA with a Z as Melpomene?
That would be BIG if they got the two Oscar winning "CABARET" stars together again in "XANADU"
PS: I know nothing... just fishing - lol.

Rumor has it that when Joanna Gleason left Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Liza was offered the role of Muriel but turned it down because she cannot keep up with an 8 shows a week schedule anymore.
Can you imagine if she had actually done it?!
