I don't understand - it sounds like you're talking about a show closing as though it were a tragedy.
Imagine if every room at the Met Museum held a permanent, unchanging collection. Imagine if ABT had one evening of dances they showed over and over and over, or the NY Phil only played Mahler's 4th at each concert, or the Met Opera only showed La Traviata.
Shows close. New shows open. That's always been the state of every art, and it's nothing to mourn.

Posted: 9/17/10 at 3:03pm^it's just that when more than one show closes at a time it is less special.
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.
