The grosses for it are great, not to mention the MAJOR increase in sales due to Billie Joe's performances. I have a feeling it's going to last at least a year, maybe a little longer.

An increase in ONE week's grosses don't mean a heck of a lot.

Overall, it's grosses have been OK, but nothing great. What we don't know is what their advance looks like. Most rumors have pointed to disasterous.

A January closing wouldn't be a big shock. But only time will tell.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

But N2N IS closing in January, apparently.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

"well, there has been much rumor and speculation..innuendo, outuendo, but let me set the record straight"

People marvel that N2N has been holding on as long as it has. I haven't seen talk about about ROA except that no one thought it would make a go of it when it opened on Bway...and it obviously made a great go of it.

And until more shows OPEN....what else is there to talk about?

The last three weeks the show has been grossing well below break-even. If it sinks much lower it may dip below the theatre's stop clause and the St. James can evict it and go looking for a new tenant.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
