| Opening night performance tonight was canceled due to one of the actors being sick (see below), which means I’m guessing it’ll miss a good part of this Christmas week (and ticketholders presumably rescheduled for the the new year). By that point there’ll only be a month left in its scheduled run, and as one of Manhattan Theater Club’s 3 Broadway offerings this season, there’s almost certainly enough audience just in their subscribers, as the original poster said, to keep it going another 4 weeks until late January. (Which doesn’t mean it won’t -technically- be the next to close; but the new Jan. 29th closing date was already an extension, and with the new Laura Linney/Jessica Hecht play starting previews at the end of winter for an opening in the spring, it’s not likely it could’ve extended again more than a week or two anyway.) |

| All valid points, yet the show made $203,103 last week, and just opened to one of the worst sets of reviews this season. Even the few positive notices aren't ringing endorsements or money notices. Maybe subscribers will carry it. The production is less likely to pull more people in, this week, next week, the bleak January looming large. And with an ill cast member, when can it resume? | |

| Roundabout has been running 1776 at an average adjusted weekly box office around $256,000 for 14 weeks (dont forget the cost to run a show at these LORT/Broadway theatres is about 1/3 less than full Broadway shows). They are still losing $200-300,000 a week every week. Its still running. | |

| Non-profit subscription runs almost never close early, and definitely not one with a small cast and big names. | |

| 1) Highly unlikely 2) Which doesn’t mean it won’t -technically- be the next to close... Do I detect just a bit of a contradiction here? :-) |

| Not really. Asking a question about which show is next to close, then including as possibilities two non-profit shows with end dates to their limited runs makes no sense whatsoever. He was pointing out that yes, it’s likely set to close when it’s supposed to, but it doesn’t belong in the OP’s list. | |

| The OP conflated non-profit limited runs with open-ended commercial runs that are only selling to specific dates, and there was an implication that the question was which of these shows was in trouble of closing early, but the question was ultimately straightforward: of these shows, which will close next. The response that it was highly unlikely that The Collaboration would close next but it would likely close next was… contradictory… because what was really being answered was that it was unlikely The Collaboration would close early but that, based on the announced closing dates, it would close next. |

| … and what I should have said - was that since I doubt David Stone is prepared to close Kimberly Akimbo before the spring (unless grosses dip even lower), and since I doubt 2nd Stage, MTC, or Lincoln Center will close any of those shows sooner than their already-limited runs – I’d be surprised if any of those shows mentioned close prior to the date the OP mentioned that they’re currently selling to. (And yes, that means that The Collaboration would in fact be the first to close, but it wouldn’t be any kind of reflection whatsoever on the show’s reviews, as Delvino seemed to suggest was inevitable.) |
