I know it’s memtioned every season, but Beautiful. After that, Waitress.

I would definitely say SUMMER. I expect an announcement probably within the next week so they can drum up holiday sales.

I have a friend in the know who said KING KONG is toast by January.

I also think WAITRESS might hold on into the next year since they just released a new block of tickets, pending on how they sell and who they cast.

I feel like Anastasia isn’t long for this world.

Should be SUMMER. Waitress and Beautiful I think stick it out through the Spring.

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.

With Summer grossing in the mid-$400K range this week, I'm surprised they haven't already posted a January 6 closing.

Friend of mine said Anastasia is waiting to see how Cody sells. If he doesn’t sell well they’ll close by February or March.

While I'm feel he'll be good in the part, I don't really see him as much of a box office draw.

Is this friend a reputable source? As in, are they involved with the show at all?

While King Kong isn't making the kind of money it needs to in order to sustain a run and make a profit...I have heard that the producers intend to keep it open to Tony season in hopes of a Best Musical nomination. That's obviously an unlikely Tony scenario for them, but just reporting what I heard

But why?  This isn't a show that is going to get produced often, and a nomination does NOTHING for sales.

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.

I feel like the King Kong producers should know by now they are not getting a nomination

So now that Summer is unsurprisingly gone... is Beautiful or Waitress next?

I think Anastasia is next. Or this season can pull a shuffle along and close some random show lol

I don't know, but to see three shows post notices in as many days - and not because of the Tony nominations or awards - is kind of astounding.  They're dropping like flies!

I feel like it’s typical for this time of year.

your "friend" makes a statement that does not make sense. If he is not selling well, no reason to bleed through Feb/Mar. OTOH it is not especially imperiled ATM.

A bunch of shows always close in January, so neither the timing nor any of the shows in question seem too surprising...

The astounding thing is that HOH and OOTI did not close long ago. The former has lost money nonstop, and the latter has lost money in all but a handful of frames. There will be more by the end of the holidays and they will not be astounding.
