I've been trying to get in to see it for a while, and between seeing what the rest of the group wanted and time, no luck. Goes anyone want to hazzard a guess?

I've heard that the show is scheduled to close in January, despite whether or not sales are bad. Priscilla is scheduled there I believe starting in February?

Priscilla will fit into the Richard Rogers????

maybe I'm wrong, I have no clue. All I really have heard is that.

Doubt that.

I think Jordin Sparks is their last attempt to stay open. If she doesn't sell the show, I doubt they'll be open much longer.

And, really, it's time.

Priscilla is having a hard enough time fitting at The Palace in London, one of Londons biggest stages... so I don't think The Richard Rodgers could stage this!

I don't think he could stage it either, but mostly of account of him being dead and all.

Okay even though I don't agree with anything else you've posted in here that made me chuckle. A+.

Isn't Lin doing the movie to increase sales?

man... it took me a while to realize you were talking about the musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert... i thought you all were referencing Priscilla Lopez from the show!

Me too - I thought Priscilla Lopez!

It would be terrible for Heights to close that early. It's a great, enjoyable show.

I believe Priscilla has its eyes on the Marquis, not the Richard Rogers.

Doesn't this have the same producers as Rent? They are either going to pull a Rent and stay open for a long time by struggling with stunt casting or close soon.

Care to review, Disney?

If they can fast-track the movie, they can probably keep the show going a little while longer.

^That's what I think. The movie would give it a nice little bump. Too bad the film probably won't come out for awhile.

Anyone know how the tour is doing? It's coming to LA and I notice they're offering lots of discounts.

[DAME]

The tour has been doing poorly. Not only in sales.. but the reviews in most places have been pretty dismal. Lin Manuel is joining the cast here in LA. But no one here knows who he is or cares.

Yesterday seemed to be school trip day, and I swear at leats 70% of the seats were filled by 16 year olds. Interesting. Every time there was a kiss or something remotely romantic, all the kids did a collective "ooohhhhh." Having listened to the cast recording for so long I knew the storyline and such, but was usnure how certain things were done. When the show got close to the end of the blackout and I knew what was coming next, I got out the tissues, but the reactions of everyone at that point is why live theater is so wonderful. And the "kids" in this show had such incredible voices! I am a happy camper.

"It would be terrible for Heights to close that early. It's a great, enjoyable show."

That early? In the Heights has been running more than 2 years, not including its off-Broadway run. Not to mention, the show recouped its entire investment.

I wouldn't exactly call that "early."

[shrekster224]

I meant early in the sense that it should last longer, even though it has been over two years.
