Rumor: Godspell to close at the end of May

[PlayItAgain]

Apparently a email went out to investors, and it wasn't good news.

[blaxx]

Oh, so no one gets their $1,000 back? Poor Kenny D.

[bwayphreak234]

I'm sure someone involved with the show is going to post here any second saying that this is not so and they are doing just fine.

[blaxx]

They will also say it costs 10 bucks a month to run.

Let's wait for word from Producer2 -- you know, the one regularly receiving returns. That said, I come to this thread not to bury the show, 'cause Lord knows I not only dug the grave, but I pushed it in and tried piling more sand on it.

I come to this thread to mourn the passing of a show. Another group of actors struggling to find jobs, another group of investors trying to recover their seed money, another producer trying to spin the news in the most positive manner possible on his blog, another frantic mess. I would wish that on no one.

To the cast, creative team, and crew of Godspell, in the words of Numbers 6:24-26: "May the Lord bless and keep you, may His face shine upon you, may He be gracious to you, and be with you, and give you peace."

[PlayItAgain]

^ well that came off a pretentious....

[blaxx]

In the words of Tonys 6:69-69: "May the Lord give you a nomination one day."

[Producer2]

I did not receive any email!!! I am hoping we run and are included in the Tony telecast.

[blaxx]

Did you check your junk mail?

[Producer2]

I'd get a personal phone call, not an email!

[blaxx]

Then check your voice mail - do something!

[bwayphreak234]

Did you check your junk mail?

Bahahahahha love it, blaxx!

[Producer2]

Sorry Blaxx, I have more than one show on Broadway, it's hard to keep track!
If you want me to do something, I can do you!

[blaxx]

I am someONE, Kenny. Rude.

[CarlosAlberto]

Ya'll people nasty.

"Lord knows I not only dug the grave, but I pushed it in and tried piling more sand on it."

You wish you had the power to do anything at all.

[gvendo2005]

Having said my apparently "pretentious" piece, we kind of saw the writing on the wall a long time ago, and the fact that they got nominated for ougatz in the awards was probably the nail in the coffin.

Still, for all it's worth, I wasn't being pretentious; when a show closes, everybody hurts. Did I like the production? No. But am I such a douche that I was rooting for its downfall? Of course not. Hell, I offered to help. C'est la vie.

What does Kenny D have to do with Godspell?!


Edit

Haha forget the question. I read Kenny D and thought of that saxophonist with long curly hair, but that was Kenny G

[FindingNamo]

People who are pretentious never have any idea they are being pretentious.

[gvendo2005]

While @$$holes take pleasure in what they do, I gather?

[showchoirguy]

What version of Godspell did you guys see?

[dramamama611]

I can't speak for anyone else -- but I saw the version that wasn't that great. I didn't hate it, but I was left unsatisfied.

[Kalimba]

This show annoyed me, but I so think Corbin Bleu is adorable, so I might have to go back to see him.

[dramamama611]

I wish it had announced before I went to see it --- because I'm pretty sure I would have preferred to see Corbin. I really liked him in ITH.

However, no way I want to see it again.

[Dollypop]

I've seen this production four times already and it still makes me deliriously happy!

[Kalimba]

Yes, Corbin was wonderful in ITH.
