Posted: 3/22/06 at 6:18pmHow would Amanda Peet get out of doing the show? Do they not sign contracts that say that they will work through the end of the run? I don't get how she can just drop the show because there's a better offer?

Posted: 3/22/06 at 6:23pmShe'll take a leave of absence. It's not uncommon, especially during pilot season...

Posted: 3/22/06 at 7:49pmHas anyone bothered to check the weekly grosses for BAREFOOT? It's doing decent business and the word-of-mouth on it is great.

Posted: 3/22/06 at 9:45pmWhoever said the Pajama Game is likely to close soon is out of their minds. It's been running near, at, or above full capacity for almost as long as it's been open. Highly unlikely candidate for closing. My votes go to Barefoot and Ring.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 3/22/06 at 9:51pmAmanda will most-definately take a leave of absence to film Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It's set for 13 episodes in the fall on NBC. The pilot is said to be filming over the next few weeks, so expect her leave rather soon.

Except that it's a limited engagement. Its closing date has already been set.

Posted: 3/24/06 at 10:09amHow much longer can Phantom run? I'm sure it has some years left in it, but I wonder if the the new flashier Vegas version will cause its Broadway counterpart to close earlier than it otherwise would have.
I Wish... Madeline Kahn could have played the Witch in Into the Woods. She would have rocked!

Posted: 3/24/06 at 10:48amThe Dirty Rotten Scoundrels sit down in DC will close in two years. Bush and Cheney's contracts will be up.

"oh God, 7+ more years of Wicked?......I'm going to scream and claw my face..... "
I'm suprised someone with the name Elphaba would be saying that.
Happy...Everything!

I was scared for Sweeney through the winter a little, but they seem to be improving.
I also worry that it'll close soon after Micheal and especially Patti leave

Posted: 3/26/06 at 11:55amFor Sweeney, I dont think they should milk it for all that it's got, and once the casts leaves, just close it I mean how can the replacement cast be any better?

Posted: 3/26/06 at 1:25pmCompany, i think, needs a smaller theater. How about the Royale (or whatever it's called these days) or Circle in the Square
