"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' 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)
this really should of been just a 6 month limited engagement.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Oh too bad. I saw this revival with my mom and she loved it. She's hard of hearing, doesn't understand much English dialogue, and she just adored the dancing Cats. It's a great family show. I don't get the snobbery towards this show.
i cant believe after all this time people are still wondering where Frozen is going, the set model in the pics was of the St. James and it has been confirmed for months

Not necessarily though. With New Year's going over a Sunday/Monday this year it means that most of the tourists will be back out of the city by Tuesday or Wednesday. So that first week of the year is not going to be the most profitable week for most shows, better to close up on the high of that week between Christmas and New Year's.

Not at all. A cast recording would have been a terrible investment to make (there are already countless recordings)... now imagine spending all that money to make a recording and then have the show close shortly after.
I have to admit I am a bit surprised. Cats is such an easy and reliable show to sell to international tourists. Of course it wasn't doing great business, but it ran for years on much less. It looks like they are closing to concentrate on launching the tour. Or maybe Cameron wants the theater for another show?

I'm not sure Cameron has much to do with this production. The London one seemed a pure RUG production - and ALW had said he had little to do with this one (maybe it was one of those "in arrangement with RUG" and even if Cameron did, I don't think he has a say on the theatre where Cats is.
Sad for those who will be out of work - but this revival was so unnecessary.
