[title of show] [tos]timonials: #1 Bebe Neuwirth

I think that makes my month.

And yes, I can see a very valid comparison to A Chorus Line.

So they are suggesting that the show will stay open if they can get people to buy tickets? That's nice to know... if only Xanadu could have done the same. This is great that they are trying to get it to stay open as opposed to just letting it close.

It could if they know something we don't.

I loves me some Bebe as much as the next gay...but for the love of all humanity...

LET THIS SHOW DIE NOW!!!

[tos] the same as Chorus Line?

Sadly, the differences between these two shows FAR outweigh the similarities, starting, first and foremost, by the fact that none of the 27 original actors or musicians appeared on stage under their own names, nor did any one of them do a lick of self promotion on YouTube or otherwise.

They simply allowed their talents, stories, and dreams to shine in their production; then and only then were they accepted by New York theatergoers.

Read on:

During its years on Broadway, A Chorus Line celebrated a long string of triumphs and made theatrical stars out of the original 27 cast members and celebrities from the small army of the 483 replacements who followed them. The show's total New York box office gross was well over $149 million. Having already surpassed Hello Dolly! and Fiddler on the Roof, A Chorus Line reached yet another milestone on September 29, 1983, celebrating its record-breaking 3,389th performance by surpassing Grease to be Broadway's longest running musical to date at that time. This special performance featured past cast members rejoining their current counterparts on stage, including a parade down the aisles in the gold-sequined costumes they all wore for the show's finale. It was one of the most magical theatrical moments in Broadway's history.

I love [title of show] and have seen it many times, but I hope they let it end with dignity rather than continuing to do these somewhat unfortunate YouTube clips. The show is closing. They made it to Broadway, for however long. They should be savoring the end of this amazing experience rather than trying for something that is next to impossible to happen.

Then again, the show is about achieving the next to impossible, so I suppose I can't blame them for trying.

Foster, I was asking honestly. And if you notice I did not say all. I'm happy to know that some are paying full price. :) I meant nothing bad by it ~ just asking an honest question (which has been raised about other shows as well.)

Thanks. :)
