It angers me to a point I can't even describe. When I walk down the street and I see it, I just want to put my fist through the glass and piss on the sign. I mean, THE SHOW IS CLOSED!!!! GET OVER IT, THEATER!!!! STOP CLINGING TO THE PAST!!!!!
I mean, right?!

It's down now. Trip to Bountiful is up. It was very frustrating to see Anything Goes on the tops of Taxi Cabs well into the winter when it seemed like Drood couldn't get a LICK of press...

The only Anything Goes advertisement that I believe is still up is the one on the billboard next to Phantom of the Opera.

It isn't "press" to be on cabs -- its paid advertising. All owners of advertising space would rather have useless info that NO ad to see. It costs them nothing to leave the old stuff up. When someone new starts paying for the space, change will happen.

Well the secret's out now.
They needed it to film a scene for Glee. Rachel Berry will be offered the leads in both Funny Girl and Anything Goes and she has a major decision to make regarding which role she will take.
Rachel and Kurt will sing "Friendship" as their audition piece, but then Kurt will get huffy because Rachel is offered Reno and Kurt is only offered a swing/assistant stage manager job. But don't expect "Friendship" to be as funny as when Lucy and Ethel ripped each other's dresses off. Rachel will use that nasal voice and eye roll that Barbra uses when she does comedy and Kurt will just use his clown grin and boy soprano voice and expect to get the part because he's gay and fabulous. Then he'll go sing a song with the Adam's Apples and feel better.
See this stuff really does write itself!

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

LOL....someone's life was being affected by a theater marquee? Really?!! Some of you guys are just...WEIRD.

I think they should replace the marquee on every house without a show with an add for Glee.

Go study up on Lady Bird Johnson. She had some major issues with signage.

It's a super simple explanation. It costs money to take it down. Let the next guy pay for it when they are putting theirs up.

You should do that, Jordan. Especially if will help you get rid of the hostility that you bring to your messages here. Every single day you post dozens of messages, mostly filled with negativity and contempt. If the theater makes you this unhappy why do you spend so many hours each day reading this board and writing such hate-filled comments?

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

The BILLY ELLIOT billboard outside the Imperial that covered the parking garage next to the theatre was still up at the end of May 2012, even after NICE WORK had already opened.

I enjoyed seeing it when I was there this summer. I didn't get to see the show, but thought it was cool to see the eye-catching advertisements.
As for why, this summer I figured it was a money thing. Let the next show worry about removing them. Guess it just sucks that the space has been empty for so long.

Thank you to all of you who have sent PM's advising me of Jordan's "problems." It sort of explains a lot, but I still don't feel it justifies the constant negativity. I'll try to be more understanding.

In decades of yore Broadway marquees would sport the names of closed disaster shows for a year or more. Back in the '70s a Name Actor (who will go unnamed here) was so irritated seeing his name over the title of his quickly closed bomb that he started a mini-campaign to have floppo marquees removed quickly. (It didn't exactly class up the neighborhood to remind theatergoers what they were NOT going to see, you know.) Anyway, for a while, the Shuberts covered marquees of failures with blue tarpaulins reading "SEE A BROADWAY SHOW!"
No kidding. Whatever happened to those things?
