I don't know about that. Clive Barnes might be losing it, but did he ever have it?

It will not last a week.
It's got to close in January.



No it won't. Mel's ego is too big to close his show so fast!

This show will not close any time soon. It has a nice advance and will probably be around for 2-3 years. It's a novelty and a familiar story, so tourists will still want to see it, despite the mixed to negative reviews. That's what Brooks is counting on. I'm sure he knew he would have a much tougher go of it this time around. You could never live up to post-Producers hype, just ask Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick during the Odd Couple run. It is what it is and musical theatre will live on.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

The lyrics are:

Together again 'til the next time
We're awfully glad that you came!
(Two similes here, I forgot what they were)
Like ping pong and paddles, maybe next year, Blazing Saddles?
'Til the next time, together again!!!
Together forever again!

I believe "Maybe next year, Blazing Saddles" used to be "Like Starbucks and Seattle," from what you guys have been buzzing about.

It's "we're mighty glad that you came", and also, "like Byron and Shelley, like pickles and deli" are the other things.
