I'm familiar with the process. Just find it amusing that he continually complains about the thread and how it must be the product of nothing better to do, while contributing to it.

Yes, that's what happens when one is bored and has nothing better to do.
You either:
(a) create a pointless thread
or
(b) complain about said thread
and
(c) contribute to it.
I'm doomed.

I know the feeling.
Back to the topic, I predict that Chicago will close only when the Ambassador burns down.

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Hmm, yes now that PThespian's puts it that way, I totally see what he means.
You people are actually just sitting there and predicting when people will be out of work.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE YOU?!?! THAT IS SO HEARTLESS!

I'm gonna say, "tomorrow".
I'll remind you of that on the day after each of these shows closes.

It has not been done in awhile but a few on here used to actively wonder what show was going in a specific theater before a show posted a closing notice. We also had people actively pulling for a show to close. I am referring to the epic " Honeymoon In Vegas Is Still Struggling" thread which went on forever.

The Ambassador will burn down because Patti Lupone FANatic's passion for the show will finally ignite the theatre during the finale.

CHiCAGO cannot close yet. My little two year old niece needs to be Velma Kelly in that production when she comes of age.

Oh my goodness....good one! I haven't laughed that much in a long time! (Yes, I do have a sense of humor on occasion.)

"Carlos...that would be wonderful. However, I am afraid that "she who shall not be named" will still be playing the role of Velma Kelly during that time.

Yes I know it's the reality of theater and no show runs forever, but how about we celebrate the fact that a given show is running, drawing in audiences, and helping people involved it and NYC make money instead of talking about when they are going to be closing?
I wish you had told me before no one was forcing me to read it. I wouldn't have clicked on the title if I knew that. I certainly wouldn't have felt the need to express my opinion on the topic.
I feel much better now that I know I don't have to read everything.
Honestly, I feel bad predicting when shows close. It's important to remember that people are being employed by these shows, and reducing them to numbers feels dehumanizing. Genuine thanks for this reminder.

What a ridiculous way of thinking. If you really want to live this way, then fine... But make sure you also never discuss the outcome or status of films, television shows and sports teams as many of the employees in those fields depend on the qualitative & quantitative results (box office-ratings-seasons or playoffs-etc.) of said entities.

I study statistics and film box office. I know this happens and is a reality of theater and art as a whole. I am often obsessed with details and predictions, but it doesn't really dawn on me enough that this cynicism and negativity is in place to ignore a lot of the hard work people have been doing for these shows. (Even poorly recieved ones) - that's why I'm hesitant to focus on the bad anymore.
