Does anyone know if the show will have performances beyond the scheduled November 24th? Im in NY for Thanksgiving and REALLY want to see this production.
On Broadway(dot)com it says the show is scheduled for future performances but I cant find any information to corroborate. But theres also no mention that its a limited engagement.
With the current cast? I highly doubt it. But with new leads (maybe even Glick taking over after Groff), possibly? I would give it a 50/50 either way. The marketing really hasn't been emphasizing the closing date (Most would having something to the effect of "Only Playing for X Weeks".), and the Westside has held productions for awhile at times, so I don't think it's completely off the table. Hopefully by the time Glick takes over the show for the 2 weeks in Nov, we might know. If nothing comes out by then, they might just be leaving it at their current closing date. I hope not though, I would love to see this show over and over again if it does extend into a possible open-ended run (or even just extends more into 2020).
My guess is that they're waiting to see the response to Glick, which seems to be very positive, and they'll extend with him. I'm seeing Groff, but I'd consider going back because every performance I've seen from Glick has drawn me in (feel the same way about Groff).
I mostly want to see the show to see Tammy Blanchard, though Groff would be a nice plus, so here’s hoping they extend a few weeks with the current cast, or at least Tammy!
My biggest annoyance is it’s making it hard to plan the rest of my trip and what else I want to see/scheduling everything in lol

Pretend it is extending, hold a slot open for it, and then have a back-up if it doesn't? Not sure what the issue would be here. It's not like they're going to start doing some weird alternate schedule if they extend.
Also, I'd hold a show for which it is easier to get tickets as the Little Shop back-up plan.

Almost all shows have an alternate schedule for Thanksgiving week, which is why it’s made it harder to schedule. For example, many shows have two shows on Black Friday but some just have one (SLAVE PLAY only has a matinee).

Have any shows canceled their Wednesday or Friday night shows, though? If you leave a pretty solid slot open, seems like you'll be fine.
