re: shows that don't/do deserve a closing

Boeing Boeing is a wonderful show and I hope it is there for a while. Now I think it is just silly to judge a show by its commercial. Don't be ignorant if your not informed. For example im not going to say im think Shrek should close because it has bad marquees and is already at TKTS...im gonna see it first before I make any statement.

Shows "deserve" to close when they fail to bring in an audience sufficient to pay the bills.

That doesn't always have ANYTHING to do with artistic integrity or quality. Wonderful shows close. Horrid shows stay often. But it is STILL all just a matter of opinion: just because YOU love it doesn't make it more or less worthy of b'way time.

It's the part of Show Business people like to pretend doesn't exist.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I'm personally sorry to see Spamalot and YF go. Legally Blonde was just ok for me----the singing of the dialogue was distracting----tried to be "opera-like" in a way and just didn't do it for me.

I think it's completely reasonable to say that a show should close because it looks terrible on commercials.



Worst. ever.
