or that's the rumor!

Legally Blonde is closing, just incase you didn't hear Trekkie.

and Trekkie, i've never interacted with you (to my memory, but that's fallible). If you find me so annoying, feel free to:

a) PM me and spare the board your opinion of a person you don't even know

b) block my posts and live an annoyance-free life (at least from this poster).

I think it had a great run, although I posted in another thread a week or two ago how I don't think the show's in good shape at the moment at all. Guess West Side Story will get what it wants after all.

Looks like there'll be plenty of space for shows next spring. Maybe we can get some new hits that actually stick.

Well, here's to hoping WSS gets it.

Healthy enough run. Congratulations on a Pretty n' Pink production!

It's never good to see a show close (actors out of work). But this musical had more media attention than any other Bway show could have asked for. Good for them, when it comes down to money (and it always comes down to money). Talented group of originals and replacements, though it will be nice to have something else in The Palace.

Let's hope we get some more Mitchell-helmed stuff in the future. Updated On: 9/24/08 at 05:13 PM

Wow, I'm actually shocked and sorry I didn't see this last week when I was in town.

Has the Broadway production been selling well lately? I can't imagine it not, what with how popular it is

No, since Labor Day their weeknight performances have been empty. Weekends always sell a lot better, but I have been there on weeknights when it was shockingly empty. Typically, they've been closing the balcony and rear mezzanine on weeknights.

That being said, Sunday night it was very full, for a change.
