I'm confused. We're certain they're not referring to Donna and not the show?

Maybe jrb will be able to put this thread to rights, as he does work there after all.

I can't look at it as I don't have it here. That's why I was asking.

Yes. Didn't you see Rathnait's post on an earlier thread? Donna is on medical leave.

It was a mistake--just went to the Telecharge site, here's what it said:

On Sale Through 11/07/04

Please note: In some editions of Sunday's Newsday and the Sunday New York Times, Wonderful Town is being advertised as performing its last 9 performances. These ads are incorrect, this show is on sale thru November 7!

So there ya have it!

Someone somewhere is going to pay for that screw up with their job, methinks.

Chances are, Telecharge has not yet updated their records. If they've announced a closing with a full-page ad in the Times, I highly suspect it's a ticketing error. Telecharge has been known to make mistakes in the past, whereas, Producers don't shell out enough money to buy a brownstone, for a false ad in the NY Times.

See, all of you kids who are so quick to jump on the NY Post? Even the TIMES can print inaccuracies.
