Noooooooooooooooo!!! from RC in Austin, Texas
"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)

Didn't really see that coming.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Way to ruin my Big Brother buzz, Craig.

That's unfortunate. It had a hell of a run though, considering the initial prospects.

Damn, was about to buy tickets for the last show when I realized I can't go that day. I'm going to have to see it again before then though.

WOW. This is a total shock. I was hoping it would last through the holidays and was planning on seeing it again around then.

Craig IS a moderator lol hence the validity

I bet those people that were bragging about knowing the next "big name" to enter the cast are biting their tongues now!


I'm so disappointed! I wanted to see this show so badly on my next trip to NYC...oh well...

It's about time. To think that this ran longer than Grey Gardens. . .

Let's hope TOS is next.

At least it will live on in the tour, and I am sure it will be popular in regional theaters.

Still-sad to see it go-but all good things must come to an end. I'm happy to say that I got to see it twice.

This is very sad! What is the reason for the closing?

This is such sad news!
It's not by any means a perfect show but it's a hell of a lot of fun and it's really the best time you'll have on Broadway right now.

I hope to catch it at least one last time before it goes...the shame is it got BETTER with time, too, so I'm sure the longer it ran the better it would've been getting...


Such a high-energy, brisk, really well-put together show. I really hate to hear that it'll be gone in a month.
