I thought it was some spammer, but I saw it was Craig and I was like AH!!!!
I am so sorry to hear this. I wish everyone in the cast well and hope that they find future work easily.
Way to ruin my Big Brother buzz, Craig.

GOODBYE
That's unfortunate. It had a hell of a run though, considering the initial prospects.
I'm so sad, and upset! I loved this show, I saw it twice and thought it was fantastic!!

Damn, was about to buy tickets for the last show when I realized I can't go that day. I'm going to have to see it again before then though.
WOW. This is a total shock. I was hoping it would last through the holidays and was planning on seeing it again around then.

Craig IS a moderator lol hence the validity
I bet those people that were bragging about knowing the next "big name" to enter the cast are biting their tongues now!
I'm so disappointed! I wanted to see this show so badly on my next trip to NYC...oh well...
Oh, I though you ment switching to Off-Broadway. Oh it's closing, thats too bad.
It was a joke broadwayboy101.
It's about time. To think that this ran longer than Grey Gardens. . .
Let's hope TOS is next.
But XANADU can survive with stunt casting, funny stunt casting. WHY?!?
NOOOO!!!!!
The article's up...

How does playbill not have this up yet?

At least it will live on in the tour, and I am sure it will be popular in regional theaters.
Still-sad to see it go-but all good things must come to an end. I'm happy to say that I got to see it twice.
This is very sad! What is the reason for the closing?
This is such sad news!
It's not by any means a perfect show but it's a hell of a lot of fun and it's really the best time you'll have on Broadway right now.
I hope to catch it at least one last time before it goes...the shame is it got BETTER with time, too, so I'm sure the longer it ran the better it would've been getting...
Such a high-energy, brisk, really well-put together show. I really hate to hear that it'll be gone in a month.
