Posted: 9/12/12 at 3:20pmSomeone needs to confirms this pretty soon, if this is true, this is the SHOCK of the season.

Posted: 9/12/12 at 3:25pmHe/She said WAS on, so maybe they had like 10-20 tix they couldn't sell and it was there briefly? Highly doubt it though.

It wouldn't seem impossible considering their grosses last week...
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 9/12/12 at 8:01pmQolbinau, I agree. They usually hit either highest grossing or 2nd, but this week I believe this week they were third.

Posted: 9/12/12 at 8:43pmI'm sure they're cancelling tonight's show since they had to put it on TKTS and closing with no notice.

#14Wicked at TKTS today?
Posted: 9/13/12 at 2:41amI saw Wicked last wednesday and that show wasn't sold out at ALL!!!!! We sat in the lower level and we moved up 7 rows...NO LIE! It was THAT empty. If they weren't at the tots..they need to be. Jackie Burns and Chandra were GREAT, but it did feel as if the ensemble might have been pacing through the show that night.

Posted: 9/13/12 at 9:43amWICKED is in no danger of closing, nor do I believe they had tickets at TKTS.

Posted: 9/13/12 at 2:01pmHere in London Wicked is a big hit and does very well, but seldom sells out, like it does in New York. the producers here would rather have empty seats, than lose face and but tickets on TKT's.
#17Wicked at TKTS today?
Posted: 9/13/12 at 2:03pmWICKED is on TKTS right now for tonight at 75% off.

Posted: 9/13/12 at 2:15pmIs that a typo? Do u mean 25% off?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 9/13/12 at 9:40pmThey're also searching around for some stunt casting to save the show. Big names like Marian Seldes and Julie Kavner are being sought to save the show.
