As I have said before the beach boys have numerous fans which will keep the show opened through the summer beyond that the show needs to build an audience for. But dodgers does not pull shows quickly and I would be surprised if this one didnt make it through August.

But, the Dodgers no longer have their deep pocket to prop up their shows anymore ...... I'm just saying .....

I think it depends on if the Dodgers want to wait and 'see what will happen' as they did with Dracula. It didn't work, for the record...Also -- what are the running costs for this show? I'm sure they are more than the grosses were last week. WHY DID THIS SHOW OPEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER? If this show were to ever survive - it would need summer tourism to do it...I at least wish better things for this show than I do for say -- Mamma Mia -- but there's no tearing that one down.
I would think the reasoning for the winter opening was a sort of taste of summer in the middle of the winter type thing. Though the general percentages of attendance weren't really thought into too deeply it seems.
It's really sad to see people condemning this show so early. A guy in my school saw this show an loved it. A lot of people love it. If you aw the show and did not enjoy it, fine. But to those who haven't seen it yet- just be quiet.

Margochanning, Again I ask, How can you review a show on the night of the show and have it all written and posted before the show even starts. (Yes, it's a retorical question) I think it was a given that the critics weren't going to like it, but I'd have a lot more respect for them if they would actually see it. Liek I've mentioned before, the audiences as a whole have liked it the times I've seen it. In fact I've heard many people making plans to come back again. There are more reasons that people will buy tickets to this show, than not. I agree with the person who said out of towners will come to see it and New Yorkers won't like it. We just are not in a time period for shows that are heavy and make you think too much. People want light heartedness, right or wrong as that maybe. Look at who our president is and what group of people put him there and tell me that a show like this won't sell tickets for quite awhile. And yes I like the show, it's fun, but I still like and go to see the original, heavy, make you think, make you cry, etc. kind of shows also. AND no I'm not a shill!!!

I don't recall Margo having written a review of GOOD VIBRATIONS.
