Posted: 7/29/09 at 1:55pmThis NEVER should have come to Broadway. Hopefully the team involved with the First Wives Club will heed this warning.

Posted: 7/29/09 at 1:57pmI should have seen it this past weekend, I thought it might be around through the end of the year. Oh well. Hope to see Alison Janney back in a musical!

Posted: 7/29/09 at 2:01pmPoor Stephanie Block can't catch a break. I'll try to make it to NYC before this closes.

Posted: 7/29/09 at 2:12pmIt's coming to Nasvhille! Sweet! I might make a mini-trip to go see it. Hopefully it will come to some other cities in Tennessee as well (preferably my city, for selfish reasons).

I'm not surprised, but I am sad. This show was not that bad. Not NEARLY as bad as it was made out to be. At the very least, I thought it would've caught on with the troupes of women who trek to NYC to catch a show that makes them feel good. Like MAMMA MIA or WICKED. Guess not! Oh well...
I really hope Megan makes it back to B'way again soon. We all know SJB will and Janney will, of course, continue to do TV and film.

Posted: 7/29/09 at 2:16pmI'm surprised that it couldn't find a large enough audience with the tourists. Sad. Anyway, I'm sure it will do great on tour. Best Wishes to the cast.

Posted: 7/29/09 at 2:22pmThe tour is old news, (the chicago sun confirmed it a while back) but what I'm wondering is: Will they send it out non-equity or equity?

Posted: 7/29/09 at 2:23pmLooks like the only winner is Ann Harada. Wise decision for her to move back to Avenue Q and close in a role that suits her perfectly.
