Was BILL MURRAY's visit last night a last-ditch effort to save the show...? Asking seriously... They seem to be trying hard to get press despite the terrible box office numbers...

I'm not saying it isn't good press or that isn't why he went, but god did he enjoy it regardless. He was crying a whole lot more than I or anyone was at curtain call and said wonderful things to the cast afterward. There's more on that in other threads but motives in attendance aside he did genuinely enjoy it (I sat a bit in front of him and can confirm haha). So hopefully the good press boosts ticket sales because this show deserves so much more attention than it gets.

Yes, he is!"
Thank you. I'm going back up there at the end of the month and am considering seeing this one more time before it closes.

All of this. Even if this whole thing only extends the show's life by a few weeks, that's still a few more weeks in which the cast and crew will be getting a paycheck.
I've already seen the show twice, and my partner and I just booked plane tickets to do a musical theater weekend in New York over Labor Day. We'll go together once, and I may try to sneak off another time to get in viewing number four. (Yes, I realize this is slightly nuts, but I truly, truly love this show. It's really rekindled my love of live musical theater).

Not that nuts. I'm comfortably in the double digits.

Double digits for me as well. I was also at the show Monday night, JustAnotherNewYorker.(re: Your post in the Bill Murray thread) We've probably been to at least one other performance at the same time without knowing.
Kitsune - I literally just got back from NYC and your post about Labor Day almost made me book another trip. I commiserate with you as an out-of-towner. Especially since I went to the matinee Wednesday, since I had to take an evening flight. Just missed Bill.
