Closing night is tomorrow (and it's sold out). But today's shows have now been canceled... this is not looking good 
. This beautiful show deserves a proper send-off!

snow is expected to be done by midnight tonight. I'd say the roads should be ok, not great, by tomorrow.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

The problem is trains also have to be running... Hopefully it is still going to happen it will be a shame if they already closed yesterday

And also tomorrow is supposed to be Matthew Morrison's last day in Finding Neverland. Curious to see what'll happen.

That was really sweet of them. Looked like they were having a ton of fun.

I wish the cast of NOISES OFF would come out and slam a bunch of doors for the people who came to see them matinee.

That's awesome. Love that they did that. Reminds me when the original cast performed outside during the strike in 2007. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUF4pXEWpfU
I hope they get to have their shows tomorrow.

I would think he could stay another day or two unless his schedule is that tight and he has to be doing something right away.

I can't imagine they will not honor the tickets and perform next week.

All the weather reports are saying that the storm should be over Saturday night so tomorrow hopefully should be ok unless the already settled snow proves too thick for safe travel.

If they insist on performing....it will fall on deaf ears

Real talk though...if it does happen (and I can get to work), and anyone needs to get rid of a ticket for the 7:30pm show tomorrow - pm me.

OK, I did not know that these actors had absolutely no flexibility especially when the delay is due to weather. I am sure a lot of people bought tickets because it was his last show and IMO if he could not delay his plans a day or two that is a shame.

How many of audience can change THEIR plans a day or two? And what about the people that HAVE tix for Tuesday ?
If shows are cancelled tomorrow, so are their closing performances. Yes, disappointing for ticket holders, and the cast if SA, no doubt. It happens.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

It's a little different but it has a similar situation...this is Matthew Morrison's last weekend at Finding Neverland. The show is not closing but another actor starts on Tuesday. It would be sad for him not to have his final weekend either....I am sure he had people coming.
