Posted: 9/3/06 at 8:28pmit's not rocket science, though there are a huge number of factors that build into the equation. the short and simple answer is that the show fails to make money and the producers decide to pull the plug. sometimes a show will fail to break even for several weeks or months as the producers wait to see if it will find an audience or pick up. other times it dips so low that they mercifully end it all at once. and yet other times they post a closing notice and ticket sales pick up unexpectedly.

All shows close. It is only a matter of when. It's like a person; on the day that a baby is born, it begins a long march to it's death. Wicked will close one day. Lion King will Close one day. It happens. Speaking of Lion King, go see it and pay close attention to "The Circle of Life."

Joe, you get a cookie for being the person to make me laugh most today.
"You are going to hell."
He must be a Jew. 
Why do shows close? Simply to irritate me. I'm sure of it.
I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
