It's good I did not buy tickets way in advance. Whoa ! They are not selling, huh?!
Cheaper than TDF. So if this goes to Bostix - would it be half price- $14.00 ??

EDIT : I changed the title bec. THE TOUR will close in VA (2/17) per theatermania:

The U.S. National Tour of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman's musical, Whistle Down The Wind, directed by Bill Kenwright, has announced its final stops. After concluding its current run at Boston's Wang Center on February 3, the show will play Philadelphia's Merriam Theatre, February 5-10, and the Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, Virginia, February 12-17.

SO IT WILL ONLY PLAY in Boston, Phildelphia & Norfolk(VA)

And yeah, it really must not be selling if it's that cheap! And for the record, it isn't in Philly either and it's in a small theatre!

I actually heard it did really well in Detriot. And it probably did in Houston for the premiere, and I can't imagine it's running costs being too high, so maybe it's really close to breaking even or maybe Boston's going to close the tour and they want to fill the seats .. ?

The Tour isn't working I read so if you want to see it now is the time. We heard we aren't getting it after all in SF because they are stopping the Tour. Very bad news because many here were looking forward to it. Well give us a review if you go Jay.

It's just not a good show. It's actually quite bad. The music is great, for the most part, and some of the people including Eric Kunze are great. Other than that....there's nothing there. I would not be surprised if the tour closed out of town, and I am sure it will never make it to Broadway.

My parents just bought tickets for the VA show. I'll have to ask how much they paid.

I'm going to see this when it comes to Dallas. I have season tickets and this show is included in the package. And we definitely paid around $60 to see this so that's kind of disappointing if they are selling for so cheap elsewhere. We shall see if they lower the tickets in Dallas. I'm really curious about this show even though everybody on here thinks it's not very good.

mll 85 where did you hear that from? I'm just curious because I went to the website and they have all these other cities and dates they are playing after Norfolk and I haven't been sent anything about the show being cancelled yet.

---

Well that's not cool if it's closing early. That's really weird too because they just brought on Whitney Brashor to the cast to replace Andrea Ross so that would mean she would only be doing the role for about 3 weeks. Kind of strange.

---

Well thanks for the heads up. I actually wanted to see this show even if it wasn't very good. Oh well I guess I will just look forward to other things to see.

---

Well..I guess.... I should probably see it in Boston...so that's the reason why its soo cheap $28.00 for ORCHESTRA seats...

at least...folks in Philly & VA have a chance to see it..if its "rumored" to CLOSE on 2/17.

February 5 - 10, 2008
PHILADELPHIA, PA


February 12 - 17, 2008
NORFOLK, VA

Yes, sadly the cast has been told they are closing.

"BrodyFosse123, clueless much yourself? Yes, it was planned for Broadway..if the tour went well. In the future, get your facts straight before you become nasty...."

While the director did in fact make an off-hand comment about the production being good enough for Broadway, the tour was never actually scheduled to eventually end on Broadway, and nowhere in the article does it mention that it had Broadway plans. There is a reference to the ORIGINAL production being Broadway-bound but flopping out of town. Learn how to read before posting affirmations of false statements.
