June 29th - Curtains takes it's final bow.
David Hyde Pierce will stay until the end.

Discuss.

This was expected, but it's still sad for a show to close.

[shakalakababy]

yeah not surprising but still unfortunate. I like this show quite a bit.

Finally! Broadway seems to be getting too cluttered; I say make room for something good at the Hirschfeld; although, compared to Wedding Singer, Curtains doesn't look quite so bad. But still, I say good riddance!

[EponineMNFF]

Ahhhh. I wasn't a huge fan of the show when I saw it, but it was relatively fun to watch.

I wonder what David Hyde Pierce will do next.

Hehe the title of this thread is funny. My first thought was about closing curtains. ie on windows.

A shame though It was on my list of "things to see if I ever have enough money to go and see Broadway shows".

Oh, I'm sad that I won't get to see "Curtains"! But I'm glad it's going out with David Hyde Pierce in his original role.

I am excited to see what he'll do next...If he'd be keen on taking over a part, I could SO see him as the Man In Chair from The Drowsy Chaperone.

^Oh my. I've been living under a rock, haven't I? I had no idea that the Broadway production closed! How embarrassing.

Well...umm...he can do the tour! Oh, I could see him as Herbie in Gypsy, if the revival is open-ended and lasts long enough for a cast change.

It's really too bad, I say. It's a FANTASTIC show and the performances are amazing.
There's so much crap on Broadway now, it's a real shame to see the good shows close too soon. Ah well. At least with the amateur rights out, it's bound to be a big hit regionally! Wouldn't it be great fun to do??

In any case, I'm REALLY glad I had a chance to see it before it closes. I adored every second.


(if I could leave this world with as much talent as Karen Ziemba's little finger...)

The last original (as in, not a revival) Kander & Ebb show. What a shame.

[Salome]

not quite.. "The Visit" may yet reach broadway.

Noooo!!! I guess deep down, I was hoping it would last until next March, when I'll be in NYC...

[playwrightmo]

So, I'm going to NYC in May, and I was sort-of half-thinking of going to see Curtains (not that I didn't want to go see it, but I figured it would be running a while ). Now that I know that it's closing, I definitely want to see if I can get my hands on some tickets!

Anway, I know the basic plot of the show and such, but I have a strange-ish question related to it. I know that there are gun shots throughout the show, but exactly (or a rough estimate) how many are there, and how loud are they? One of the people that I'm going to see it with has a problem with such things, but if they're not too bad, he should be all set.

Thanks!

P.S. Who's the killer?
