and in my point of view shows such a "the lion king" or "movin out" should close....those r sleepers.....good vibrations is fun ....with a lot of young talents...great songs ...and a plot...unlike abba's shallow" mamma mia" and billy joel's embarrassing "movin out". go support "good vibrations" its a alot of fun and thats what entertainment should be all about....besides there r beautiful young people in bathing suits...so i had a great time!

aaah..spoken like a true thee-ah-tah connoiseur!

and on that note:

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heart strings,
From the monent I saw him I fell.
Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heart strings,
When he smiled I could feel the car shake.
He tipped his hat, and took a seat.
He said he hoped he hadn't stepped upon my feet.
He asked my name, I held my breath.
I couldn't speak because he scared me half to death.

Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Pop, pop, pop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to go then I started to know how it feels,
When the universe reels.

The day was bright, the air was sweet,
The smell of honeysuckle charmed you off your feet.
You tried to sing, but couln't squeak,
In fact you loved him so you couldn't even speak.

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Plop, plop, plop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heart strings,
As he started to leave,
I took hold of his sleeve with my hand,
And as if it were planned,
He stayed on with me and it was grand just to stand
With his hand holding mine to the end of the line.

I agree... GOOD VIBRATIONS is young and energetic. It deserves a solid run.

gee, lemme see... that's a great reason a show should have a long Broadway run. because it's "young" and "energetic".

Well that's what Farrah said about BOBBI BOLAND! Except for the young part, of course.

Shows can close in rehearsal - Harmony anyone?
Shows can close in preview - Bobbi Boland calling.
Shows can close on the road to Broadway because they are lousy or they run out of money or both.

Shows can open with their one week notice already posted so if they close real fast the producers will not be liable for any more dollars than need be - Home Sweet Homer with Yul Brynner did just that 30 years ago. The show ran one performance and the proverbial plug was pulled.

So don't think shows have to "open" before they "close".

shows close in previews all the time

Good Vibrations is an embarassing piece of theatre...there i said it. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion---and that's mine :)

my thoughts exactly

I think the worst thing you can possibly do is defend a show by talking negatively about other shows.

Or maybe I can't believe you called Movin' Out trash. Say wha?

But should anyone even begin to trust the opinion of someone who fell asleep during Pacific Overtures?
I'd say no.

Carrie closed after 4 previews.
Buskers (aka Busker Alley) closed out of town, and although the St. James was poster ready for the show, it never opened.
The Little Prince closed before previews.

A show can be THAT bad, and for those that I know personally, who have seen GV, they say it is THAT bad, besides, even the actor's know it is THAT bad.

Movin' Out is "embarassing"?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

But Good Vibrations is not?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!

I'm sorry, but that is one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time.

No, 'Carrie' opened and closed after 4 performances.

It's great that GOOD VIBRATIONS has talented performers who are filled with energy. But if the show itself is crap, then it should close, regardless of the talent.

muscle23ftl: You said that MAMMA MIA! is shallow. I agree. But saying that GOOD VIBRATIONS should stay open because "it's fun" and "has beautiful young people in bathing suits" is not a sufficient justification. That sounds pretty shallow itself. What happened to having a SOLID storyline and interesting plot?

The reason that THE LION KING is still open, despite the fact that you think it's a "sleeper", is because it has a solid, definite plot and storyline. It's not a weak one that is formed around a few pre-existing, unconnected songs. Some people might not enjoy the show, but it is hard to argue that there is no plot.

GOOD VIBRATIONS can close at anytime, even if it hasn't opened. If it gets awful reviews and the producers don't think it will make it, they can close it during previews, right after previews or any other time they feel appropriate. Updated On: 1/27/05 at 04:43 PM

The Little Prince and The Aviator closed before opening but after 16 previews.

I'm gonna say it again...if only Guarini had not left...

[Justice]

Posted: 1/27/05 at 5:10pm

...then the show would have had one preview and THEN closed.

Posted: 1/27/05 at 5:12pm

Well, Justice, you read my mind.

i don't know why they'd put a show about vibrators on broadway in the first place.

In no defense for mamma mia but it knows that its campy and actually makes fun of itself.
