| Not so surprising given how much money it must have been losing each week, but still unfortunate. It may not have mattered in the end, but I wonder if the show would have done better if it hadn't been so overhyped before the first performance, which made people give it less slack when it wasn't as perfect as the buzz made it sound. It will be interesting to see how it does during awards season. There are many aspects worthy of recognition (particularly Stephen Daldry's direction and Lois Smith's performance, IMO). But the early close of an overhyped show leaves a negative feeling in a way that isn't true for a show that just never seemed to get the recognition it deserved (Scottsboro Boys and the Journey's End revival being examples of shows that had bad box office but did well with nominations, if not necessarily actual awards). |

| Or perhaps it did get the recognition it deserved. People did not respond to it. That is the recognition. That is the fact. That is the honesty. It did not resonate. So then you have to ask why? |

| It did for me.....I've seen it multiple times - those performances! and the time just breezes by (and I'm someone who even at 90 min shows often look at my watch - with this..i never have...once!) I hope Soller, Burnap, Levine and Hilton are remembered at Tony time.... (personally I couldn't keep my eyes off Kyle Soller - he was always so in the moment...) my 2 cents |

| Rarely did during both plays. Unlike last might at cyrano. | |
