didn't think it would be open much longer. it's grosses have been slumping ever since Foster left.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Strange it's closing in Auguest, would have thought they'd play out until September but I guess the forecast wasn't looking good so they decided to bring the closing forward a month. It's had a good run and should have a decent life on tour. Wonder what's next for the Sondheim as Roundabout have nothing planned for it unless they want to move either Cyrano or Edwin Drood there.

Isn't that going to the Hirschfeld or is that just a rumour? the Sondheim has been used twice for commercial productions so it wouldn't surprise me if it hired out until Roundabout has a show ready for the Sondheim.
As far as I've heard "Into the Woods" is all but set. They're just being smart and making sure this cast both gels and is available for a transfer. They also want to wait for a transfer announcement just so it remains a "hot buzz ticket" and not a "eh, I'll wait." Plus Donna DOES have that awful looking tv series she needs to wait for it to be canceled.
It's a shame, really; the show was spectacular and Stephanie was pure brilliance (and I can only imagine how great Sutton was)! I would go see its final performance as a birhday present for myself if I were in NY...
I wonder if it's closing in August rather than later so that performers can transition into the national tour, which starts in October.

Roundabout is not-for-profit, which means there is no investment or capitalization, which means it cannot recoup. The term is meaningless for this or any Roundabout (or MTC or Lincoln Center) production.

But wasn't this a commercial production? Despite the subscriber base?
