Posted: 6/13/12 at 7:29pmdidn't think it would be open much longer. it's grosses have been slumping ever since Foster left.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 7:29pmI'll make sure to see it before it closes. It's been on my list.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 7:32pmStrange it's closing in Auguest, would have thought they'd play out until September but I guess the forecast wasn't looking good so they decided to bring the closing forward a month. It's had a good run and should have a decent life on tour. Wonder what's next for the Sondheim as Roundabout have nothing planned for it unless they want to move either Cyrano or Edwin Drood there.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 7:38pmIsn't that going to the Hirschfeld or is that just a rumour? the Sondheim has been used twice for commercial productions so it wouldn't surprise me if it hired out until Roundabout has a show ready for the Sondheim.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 8:08pmWould be pretty cool for Into The Woods to play the Stephen Sondheim!

Posted: 6/13/12 at 8:12pmI hate this time of the year when shows start dropping like flies! It had a good run though at least. One of the best revivals in a while.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 8:23pmAs far as I've heard "Into the Woods" is all but set. They're just being smart and making sure this cast both gels and is available for a transfer. They also want to wait for a transfer announcement just so it remains a "hot buzz ticket" and not a "eh, I'll wait." Plus Donna DOES have that awful looking tv series she needs to wait for it to be canceled.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 8:49pmGlad I got tickets for one of the last performances. I've been really looking forward to seeing it.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 8:56pmSad to see the show go, but it had a great run. I hope that whatever replaces it will be a great production.

Posted: 6/13/12 at 9:02pmIt's a shame, really; the show was spectacular and Stephanie was pure brilliance (and I can only imagine how great Sutton was)! I would go see its final performance as a birhday present for myself if I were in NY...

Posted: 6/13/12 at 9:44pmA great production of a show I don't like much. A good healthy, run, but I agree it's time.

So Into the Woods could transfer and still be an outdoor production?

Posted: 6/13/12 at 10:30pmI wonder if it's closing in August rather than later so that performers can transition into the national tour, which starts in October.

Posted: 6/14/12 at 1:01amI also imagine they will use this set for the tour. It is not all THAT complicated, and it will save money.

Posted: 6/14/12 at 7:10amI agree with ACL2006, when Sutton Foster left, the sales went down, so I don't think anyone really expected it to be open much longer.

Posted: 6/14/12 at 9:45amWhy does it have to be right after my birthday? So sad. I love this show so much. Well I have had a De-Lovely Anything Goes filled year. Bon Voyage!

Any idea if it has recouped?
Roundabout is not-for-profit, which means there is no investment or capitalization, which means it cannot recoup. The term is meaningless for this or any Roundabout (or MTC or Lincoln Center) production.

Posted: 6/14/12 at 1:13pmBut wasn't this a commercial production? Despite the subscriber base?
