Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:18pmI just thinking the same thing neddyfrank, that there might be a few extensions "by popular demand".

They announced it here
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/theater/16broad.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
It is dated for tomorrow and is gong to be in tomorrows Arts And Leisure section.
I have a gut feeling that the producers know what kind of rush they are going to get just from this closing notice alone. So I doubt that they are going to extend it. I think that once it hits the closing date then that is it.

I just got my ticket.
If they end up extending, no big deal. I'll just have an excuse to see RENT one more time.

Money is money, and they sell the most tickets during the summer...
It will sell VERY well this summer especially with the extra pressure on the audiences of "MUST CLOSE"...

haven't we all seen it enough?
at least we still have the movie to capture its magical moments.
like my fave...when adam pascal sings 'blaze of glory' on the mountain top ...oh wait...that was a bad 80's jon bon jovi video....
but yeah, you get the idea.
or when the cast sings the 'rent' opening as people throw the only exiting sources of heat in garbage cans out their windows....
that was a treat.......
gives me the shiggles.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:39pmIs that like when you poop and giggle at the same time? That movie made me do that.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:39pmDo you think IdInA will come back to play a cow one more time?
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:42pmNO, IdInA CAN'T. She has to play Elphaba first before she goes back to the Nederlander. I hear its in her contract or something.

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:43pmShe's really lucky to have created what I think most of us can agree are the two best women's musical theatre roles ever.
#17re: Don't buy your ticket for RENT closing performance yet!
Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:45pmThey're even better roles than Mama Rose and Mrs. Lovett!!!

Posted: 1/15/08 at 11:50pmI got my tickets in the rear mezz so if it extends, at least I'm not out $110.
