That they AREN'T able to be in NY today to see any of the shows that are closing?
I know I do; even though I was there Christmas Week and will be there in two more weeks.
Still....wish I were there. But I have to admit: nothing closing that I didn't get a chance to see...well, that I wanted to see anyway!

I am. Which is ironic because in the past two weeks I've seen more shows than I ever have in a two week period. I wanted to see Boeing Boeing and Hairspray one last time but I can't.
I wish I could have seen Spring Awakening, but I did get to see Gypsy, which makes up for that. And I'll probably end up seeing the SA tour at the Kennedy Center anyway (hopefully).

I don't feel guilty, but I would have loved to have been to the closing performance of Hairspray. But seeing as I live all the way in Chicago, and I didn't have enough money to pay for tickets to the show, plane tickets, and for a hotel it just wasn't a possibility.

Guilty is probably too strong of word. But I do wish I could have been there. As part of the day, supporting the theater community. And while I realize I do more than my fair share for as often as I DO go to the theater, still seems like the place to be today!

I don't feel guilty, just a little sad that I was unable to see Hairspray one more time. Oh well, that was actually the only show closing this week that I care about. And I'm glad to have seen Gypsy once, and I will be at Spamalot next week.

Not Guilty! (I live too far away). Would have loved to be able to see Hairspray's last show, but at least I got to see it last year.
I think it's too late in the day to feel guilty anyway - the shows closing in January are doing so because they haven't sold well enough for the past few weeks/months, unfortunately. Today is a very sad day for many in the Broadway community and I hope that the shows coming in / recently opened do well enough to sustain a decent run. (Esp. because I hope to visit again NYC again in late Spring)!
Sorry guys, but apart from missing my opportunity see Patti in Gypsy, I'm not *that* fussed about all your closings. I mean, I'm not coolkid or anything. :P Hell, how much do you care that Spamalot and No Man's Land closed in the West End last night and the biggest theatre news story of 2008 - the RSC's Hamlet - is coming to an end next week? :P
Well, I care about Spamalot closing on the West End as well as Broadway, because Spamalot is my favourite show, but yeah... if I could only see one of the shows closing in January, it'd have to be Hairspray. I've always loved Hairspray, but I've never seen it live-- I was holding out in the hopes that Michael Ball would transfer to Broadway.

i feel guilty becuase i went to see gypsy today instead of a show that was closing today. but gypsy is closing next week so that makes it a little better.
