I feel terrible that it's closing, but at the same time can't help but feel delight for the amazing run this show had! It's a shame though that not even an amazing straight play on Broadway can't really run past a few years.
new plays rarely run longer than a year. This almost made 2 years. Congrats on a solid run & an equaly successful tour run!!
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.

Great show. i hope to catch it on tour
It's interesting that audiences on the West End support plays more than on Broadway. Two of the longest running shows in the world are plays and can only be seen on the West End.
For a straight play that was not star casted, it had a very nice run. I loved that show. Could the production of The Master Builder be going into the Barrymore?
Sad to see this, but glad I saw it and will be seeing it again this Thursday (via TDF) with some friends of my family coming into town. A great run for a great show! Has anyone who has seen this through TDF recently comment on where the seats are usually?

That's not really anything new for a non musical especially one that's not a comedy though. Ten years back Proofcran just over 900. Then I think you have to maybe go back to Brighton Beach Memoirs or Torch Song Trilogy to find a longer run. Remember even Streetcar ran "just" 850 performances or so.

Not sure that's true. They may arguably have a healthier non musical scene but the plays are still often relatively short runs. The Mousetrap and Woman in Black are anomalies and phenomenon a largely now appealing as tourist institutions.
It's worth pointing out that many short-lived new plays live on regionally, or in community theatres. That's really where a lot of plays find long-lasting success.
I doubt Curious Incident will find much life regionally due to its production demands.
