I do not forsee Tuck Everlasting lasting much longer. With the growing list of shows waiting to move into a Broadway theater, and the lack of tony nominations, and tickets sales, they will be gone, packed up and moved out before the end of the month. There is little to no chance that the show will still be open when the cast album is digitally released next month
I think TUCK will try and stick it out a few more weeks & see what happens. But the shows seems like it'll be closed by the Tony Awards.
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.
The lead producer, Beth Williams, has a long but not-so-great track record, with such mega-flops to her credit as Doctor Zhivago, Big Fish, Hands On a Hardbody, The Anarchist, Chaplin, Leap of Faith, Superstar (2012), Lysistrata Jones, On A Clear Day (2011), Bonnie and Clyde, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and many more.
In her favor, she has also been associated with some hits, including On Your Feet, Pippin (2013), How To Succeed (2011), and Memphis.
My guess: no. I give it a month. Closed by Tony day.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I definitely anticipate a pre-Tonys closing. Friends who work on it aren't optimistic due to lagging ticket sales and a only one nomination (not one that'll bring people into the seats).
It certainly doesn't look good for it. If the producers are willing to lose money a bit, I could envision them holding on until the Tonys to see if a performance on the show would boost sales from families watching. But in all likelihood, it will be gone by the end of the month, or soon thereafter.

I wouldn't exactly call Priscilla a mega-flop since it did have a reasonable run, but the rest of those...yikes.
I guess I need to make this more of a priority to see since I love pretty much everyone involved and I'd like to see it.
Did tuck perform on the today show today. I can't find a video. Can anyone link it?
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

This show doesn't have good word-of-mouth. At least not in the rehearsal rooms I've been in. Psycho has been getting raves from those around me but everyone I know who has seen Tuck is saying it's just ok.

She is, so far as I know, a producer for hire/executive producer type. She ran Broadway Across America until couple years ago and now seems to be doing the leg work for the creamer people who seem to have the absolute worst eye for what's good in history.
