Xanadu to Rollerskate Off Broadway on Oct 12th — Page 6

I'm going to try to go to the show tonight with a friend who hasn't seen it yet.

We WILL have glow sticks if student tickets are available. I've never gotten a glowstick before! Errr.

I would love to see Curtis as well, but doubt he would come back for the last. (

Yeah, I know, wishful thinking!!!

It's coming to LA WHEN?

damn, I really wanted to see this. But I won't be back out in NYC for some time.

Jonna, the Helen Hayes box office is 1-212-944-9450

Anyone find it interested the closing isn't listed on the show's website and tickets are one sale past the closing?

I went to the box office this morning right after 10:00am to get tickets for the closing on October 12th, and the guy at the box office had no idea that the show was even closing.

That is probably the only time in my life that I hope and pray that the closing notice was one big fat mistake. The only thing that's a mistake is that it's closing, period. I am SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

La Jolla is in San Diego, not LA.

I Too am sad to see this closing - caught it on a whim during a brief NYC trip in June and loved it more than I thought I would.

I just got my ticket too, Row D, Left Mezz.
What a sad day this will be...



Is the Broadway set going on tour? I really don't see how this tour is going to be successful with the small Xanadu set and the huge theaters nation wide (for example: all the fox theaters).

I found out through a friend of mine about it closing because my computer was being rebooted. I was numb and in shock all night because I honestly couldn't imagine walking past the Helen Hayes and not seeing those big purple hologram doors or the big Xanadu marquee gone.

I called and left messages for obsessedJB and I texted WonderRobbie and I just couldn't feel at that moment or comprehend it it all.

I broke down today listening to 'Don't Walk Away' and then cried all the way through 'Suspended in Time'. I went in loving the show because of Cheyenne and then fell in love with the goofy and remarkable little show that could. I think it brought alot of people together that normally wouldn't have associated with one another: The fANADUs are a diverse group of people and I wasn't too active of a participant in some of their events, but they are truly wonderful people. Meeting some of you at the show was a real treat for me: Testing, WonderRobbie, and many others.

Nightly at the Helen Hayes, a crazy group of people put on one of the smallest running cost shows on Broadway and yet, I think it has more heart and goofy charm in it's whole ninety minutes than most two hour shows do. The cast of Xanadu always seemed to be having a grand old time up there, and you could feel it: From onstage or in the orchestra or way up in the mezz, you felt it. The heart, the goofy charm, and the love. The love for a little engine that could. And what a ride our little engine that could had: A BEST MUSICAL nominee, having one of the most hysterical Tony campaigns to date and just proving that XANA-DON'T can really become XANA-DO!

As that little engine that could pulls into the station on Oct 12th, Broadway will lose a small show with a big big heart. And I for one, will miss it emensely.

<< So now that we know it's not going to happen, could someone spill the beans on that rumored major stunt casting that was supposed to occur?>>

Supposedly, Ben Vereen was going to fill in for Tony Roberts for 6 weeks, and there was also going to be someone filling in for Mary Testa for 6 weeks--- I had heard Rosie O-

Clumsy... thank you !!! Ditto here !!!

I just want to also mention what an amazing experience this has been for me (and my family!) You have all embraced us, and welcomed us with open arms.

Thanks so much to the entire cast and crew at the Helen Hayes.(the sweetest bunch of people that could ever work at ANY theatre !!)

To the cast--- thanks for never looking at us like a bunch of lunatics with no lives !!! LOL

Love ya all !!

For me, personally, I met my best friend because of this show.
( Luv ya S)

Just a couple of obsessed people (like many other fans of "this little show that DID), that got to experience the joy of being at the HH numerous times.

See ya all on the 12th ! (and hopefully before as well !)
