They were never going to do an extension. The amount of business they would have had to be doing to justify keeping it going while Kelli leaves to do The Hours again at the Met in May, let alone keep this less-than-tourist-friendly show running into the summer months when school is out, was far beyond the wildest pipe dreams of the powers that moved it from the Atlantic.
It's obviously nice when a show makes back its money, but this was a prestige run, pure & simple, and I'm quite sure the smart people who moved it never allowed themselves to have more than momentary delusions of anything more. |
