| Guess the numbers no longer work after the school year starts and family tourism slows down. Will be interesting to see how the Curran's interior changes or doesn't change following the departure of a show with such massive infrastructure. |

| Any chance or rumors this show will now go on tour? I think audiences in California have been slower getting back to live theatre than East Coast. I saw both the original 2-part and the revised one-part show in NYC. Hope it comes to Chicago. |

| To another city like LA for a long run. I assume a tour production would need a different set that can be built and taken down quickly. | |

| Could be wrong, but I wouldn't bet on LA. When discussions were happening before it opened in SF, LA was ruled out because it didn't have a venue intimate enough to satisfy the creative team. They want total immersion. Because of that, and the costs of completely redoing the venue (and the expectation of having to return it to normal when the show's run ends), I'm not sure it'll transfer anywhere. They might move the set somewhere for an international run, but I'll be SHOCKED if they try to reopen anywhere else in the US. The show didn't just flop in SF - it bombed, and it was flopping even before the Pandemic hit tbh. Again, could be wrong - but I can't imagine them moving it anywhere else, at least not LA. Chicago is probably too close to NYC/Toronto as well. Not many other US markets that can sustain open end runs. I kind of wonder if there was a stop clause like in NYC and Carole kicked them out to get control of the theatre back (ATG's management contract was for the duration of this run, which they'd hoped would be longer). |

| I realize that they’re different audiences, but LA’s Geffen Theatre has announced a production of “The Inheritance,” in two parts, beginning in September and opening early October. Bill, still traveling, now in Munich |

| Also, the magic and the automation on the show is really quite dangerous and requires extensive tech and prepping, so touring seems unlikely. | |

| Saw this on my vacation to SF a couple of weeks ago. I attended the Sunday matinee and the theater was nowhere near full, so I see this as a NOT surprising development. I had a great seat in the front row center fo the Mezz so if you can get a seat in this location for $59, I highly recommend you do so. I saw the show in NYC in both two parts and the condensed version. Even though the SF performance was my third visit, I found this cast and production to be top-notch! I saw the SF Playhouse production of FOLLIES on the same day as this show, so it made for a great two-show day. If you are able to get to this FOLLIES, you won't be disappointed. |

| I don't think it was a code. But ticket prices are back up to regular price for the rest of the run. | |

| The writing was on the wall with $59 for all seats | |
