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.
just curious, but when/what was the last musical to play the Music Box??

I'm glad they're taking a smaller house. With no big names to sell it, the show has to sell itself by word of mouth. This takes the pressure off having to sell out a giant barn like the Marquis or Neil Simon.
And yes, I'm seeing it in Cambridge, but my bus ticket/friends I'm staying with are in Boston. Please forgive my stupidity. Updated On: 1/3/13 at 10:20 PM
Songwriter Joseph ("You Light Up My Life") Brooks presented Broadway with a headscratcher of a musical, In My Life, on October 20, 2005. Brooks provided book, music and lyrics for this story of a young man with Tourette's Syndrome, who turns out to be the unwitting lead in a "reality opera" supervised by a pudgy, bike-riding individual named Al, who turns out to be God. For some reason the proceedings were illustrated with pervasive images of lemons, which provided good fun for the critics who put the squeeze on the show. Despite a vigorous advertisting campaign, the show could not overcome cataclysmic reviews and closed after 61 performances. Playbill.com
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
If this wins best revival Paluas will have directed 3 of the last 4 revival winners...either she is a genius (which I am not denying) or well she is the only director willing to try and completly reinterpret "semi" classics
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Its a smart move taking a small theatre (860 seats). It's riding on the name of the show and whatever reviews it gets from Boston papers. No real stars unless they re-cast Berthe or Charlemange (which, from all reports here, it doesn't sound like they would.)
Anyone know if Brantley is reviewing?
EDIT: Who ever said Wiki was right in terms of theatre capacity! Still - 1000-ish is not a huge space to fill. Unless, of course, the show is Dead Accounts or In My Life. There were no stars for Hair. It sold because it was good (though Hair is more well known than Pippin)
