Hot damn, those Wiz numbers are impressive. Still very surprised they didn't try to cram in just a few more weeks but hey, go out with a bang.

I anticipate a Notebook closing announcement any day now. Could they be trying to get through Broadway week and close up on September 15?

I guess Water for Elephants and Suffs are making a run for it. Hard to say for how much longer though. I think Su

Some shows are 100% worth revisiting years and decades after they premiere.  Some shows are products of their time -- cast albums and regional productions serving as lovely little time capsules -- and should be left in their respective times.

I love Avenue Q but the show falls into the latter category and nothing you spout will make your fantasies come true, Flash.

There are many shows I adore and have fond memories of, but are merely for the time period in which they are c

Either I'm just not very good at this, or mainstream audiences are viewing Broadway in

I am thrilled that Gatsby is doing so well.  I know how the response has been but I really enjoyed it and hope it sticks around for a good while.  I think the producers have actually been very clever in their strategy.  Monday night and Thursday matinee performances seem to help drive its ticket sales on top of its incredible marketing and media presence.  While it remains to be seen how well it does in the long run, I applaud the production for defying

I can't speculate on what's coming in, where, and when. But I have an inkling about what's going and when. And I have been wrong many times but based on trends, history, and box office grosses my thoughts are:

The Notebook is making a go of it but I don't see them going into the fall. The business just isn't there.  Gone by Labor Day is my guess.

Water for Elephants could be right behind but with Grant Gustin leaving September
