It wasn't up there for long and July 4 is typically a dead week for Broadway. I wouldn't think anything of it. There's a reason why shows alter their schedules this week to not have a show on July 4.
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 will be starting up in Somerville, NJ on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City, MO(May 29-Jun 3) and is now then touring throughout Japan August & September 2018. Japan schedule: Tokyo(Aug 15-21), Kanagawa(Aug 28-29), Shizuoka(Aug 30), Osaka(Aug 31 - Sept 2).

Also, it's the only show with an evening performance today. I'm not sure why that even happened. If it only had a matinee, as it should have, it probably wouldn't have been on the board at all.

Also, the LCT membership demographic largely takes off on major holidays. That, combined with the general ghost town the city becomes this week, is the only reason it was up there.

I noticed this yesterday. I wonder if this week/weekend is the best weekend to take advantage if it's on there again.

According to Instagram, they were both back on for the matinee. Seeing the show tonight, hoping they are back on!

Ambrose being out on Sundays may have it at TKTS then too. It was there last Sunday. Though if you have the patience, playing the StubHub game is worth it too.

They had a promo code for tonight’s show that priced tickets at $72, probably whatever was left ended up at TKTS.

Can a show be listed on TKTS if all of the booths are closed ?

The Times Square booth was open yesterday at the time this was posted.

That seems to be a thing there. I used to always catch a Beaumont show on July 4, and ALWAYS get a great seat.

They didn't change the performance schedule last year for Oslo either, and still did a show that evening of July 4th.

Did you know that every day Mexican gays cross our borders and unplug our brain-dead ladies?

Well the promo code for $72 that someone kindly posted here on the board was sold out. I tried it. Thank you to who posted it. I saw it belatedly.

I know another got sent out (to me among many others) for higher - $80 something. Didn't follow that one but did see it last night and all major players were present performing.

I took advantage of the $72 offer, and a lot of people who I passed by seemed like they did as well. I got three excellent center orchestra seats, and the show was phenomenal. All the principals were in and all of rich voice and brilliant command. I was particularly impressed with Paton (his acting choices were incredible) and Butz, who brought down the house with Get Me to the Church On Time. Lauren Ambrose was terrific, and Diana Rigg was also great (who had more stage time than some on here made her out to be). The house looked sold out from what I saw (even the loge). All four leads signed and took pictures at the stage door, and were very friendly. Diana Rigg didn't go all the way down the line though, so if you want her to sign make sure you go near her when she first comes out.

I suspect it will be off and on at the booth thru summer.  By September it will be a regular.

I guess it’s a regular offering now. Even on a Saturday night .
