| I knew it posted a closing notice for Dec 18 but I thought that was rescinded and tickets were on sale through Feb (I could have sworn I saw that a few days ago). But I guess it was extended only a week to 25th. I doubt stunt casting would save Hot. I’m shocked it is doing so badly and it hasn’t caught on. But some of your suggestions are way too old for the part—sugar needs to be young. |

| Telecharge did have it on sale through February (at least, the calendar didn't end at 12/23 as it would have if they'd had that as the closing date) last week, in between the closing and the extended closing. Not sure what was going on there. Maybe whoever updated the database only read the press release as far as "not ending 12/18." | |

| Onstage, they could look younger. Also- I don't consider my ideas to be "stunt" casting. That is like casting Marcia Brady as Rizzo. What I'm suggesting is "star" casting. | |

| Those suggestions for Sugar replacements are absurd - they ARE too old. Even if they look younger, they don't look like they're 25. Plus, we all know they're pushing/are past 50. My main criticism of the show (which I enjoyed and am upset is failing commercially) is...why Christian Borle? HE's too old. I completely disagree with earlier poster who said it's a hard role to cast. I think there are a lot of guys, known and unknown, who could do it. Despite the jokes in the show about how his character looks old, it makes no sense that the two guys who were raised as brothers are 20 years apart. And it gives something of a "dirty old man" to his courtship of Sugar. | |

| Hey. I love Maureen McCormack. And the part of Rizzo is not exactly Hamlet. | |

| No, I see Maureen more as a Viola or Rosalind. "Viola! Viola! Viola!" |
