gasp! I literally gasped once for the closing, then gasped once more when I read the tour was planned. It better start in San Francisco before I go to college. lol
There is no real reason to think winning the Tony would have kept this show open til December. Winning the revival Tony didn't help LA CAGE. SWEENEY has had a great run; way beyond any expectation. It just doesn't attract tourists.
Not surprising, but still sad. I really wish that I could have seen it again, because it was one of the best theatrical experiences that I've ever had.
Bah. I wasn't a fan, but it had a good run. One of the shows in the upper-echelon of Broadway, no doubt, but it definitely has its flaws, as does everything. Shame it couldn't last for a year.
It is time, though. I have to say that.

This was truly great and unique revival of a wonderful show. It's sad to see it go, but it has had a great run and I'm glad that it will be touring next year. Best wishes to the cast; I'm really looking forward to seeing them in future shows.

This tour could prove to do well because it isn't very expensive to produce. The cost for the Broadway run was $3.5 Million and I could see them pulling in quite a lot for the tour.
ok I don't know what's wrong with me because I knew that this was coming and it recouped and has had a successful run but I am still just so upset about this!! I am very angry and disheartened that this couldn't have at least made it a year. It's not fair...I realize this is really bitter of me to say but it deserved that Tony the most! I realize Pajama Game deserved it too but not as much as Sweeney and while we don't know for sure if a Tony would have helped their run and it probably wouldn't have helped it all that much but it MIGHT have! I really am hoping Company has a successful run and can't wait to see it. But I just love the gang over at Sweeney and I wish them all the luck in the world on their future projects. I really didn't know that I was going to be this effected by their closing notice but man...it's just SAD!! I am really pumped for the tour and can't wait to hear casting news. Praying that it comes to Philly
