| Really? Tell that to the Aladdin company, crew, and production staff. All of whom love performing and running the show, and receiving paychecks and benefits. The show has given pleasure to many, especially children. I wish them the longest run possible. Nothing less. | |

| Just funny how for years posters have come to this board talking about shows that should close up shop and move on. Now all of a sudden, it is a problem. Certainly didn't see such 'love' among the natives here for "Diana." So pick which way it's going to be and stick with it from here on out. And remember that. |

| It's always shown to be a problem. The comments here are similar to other threads in the past when someone says they would prefer a particular show close. | |

| I can only speak for myself, but most people didn't wish for Diana to close, only that it were more successful musical theater. You're conflating subjective critique of a production -- one of the main reasons we post here -- with some understood hope for closure. Most speculative discussion about Diana's fate was its likelihood to survive both poor reviews and exposure on Netflix. That's a nuanced debate about a late 2021 alignment of streaming platform performance and post-pandemic audience investment in new material. I wouldn't build a thesis on posting trends based on anything this fall, certainly not that show's unique history and pre-opening (and almost universally negative) reception in another medium, perhaps a first for Broadway. | |

| It means that if a "popular show" is going to close, Aladdin would be my choice. I can't imagine it's been doing well at the box office, especially starting in January. | |

| So you're specifically wishing that all the employees of Aladdin lose their jobs over the holidays? I know it's going to happen to one company regardless, but isn't it a bit cruel to be wishing for any particular show? | |

| If a popular show is going to close would you rather it be Aladdin or a show like Hadestown? That's all I'm saying. | |

| I'm not betting on the horses the way you seem to delight in. I think it's a shame that yet another show has to close. And what exactly is "a show like" Hadestown, as opposed to specifically Aladdin? | |

| When did I ever say I'm taking delight in a show closing? The poster said a show is going to close! I did not create the thread saying I hope a big Broadway hit will close. My point is if a show is closing, I'd prefer that a best Tony award winning and artistically fulfilling show like Hadestown not close compared to a Disney show like Aladdin. Is that so crazy? | |

| I think the “only” in your post got you in trouble. I’ve no doubt a lot of us read the OP and thought, “gosh, I hope it’s not X.” |

| In a precarious moment for Broadway when every show is precious to the industry and everyone employed, you created a Sophie's Choice, and then made it. Respectfully, I'd argue that the backlash in the posts above was inevitable. | |
