'[title of show]' to close on Broadway
All good things must come to an end, and with "[title of show,]" the spunky little Broadway musical that could, the end is coming a little sooner than some might have hoped. Playill reports that the show will play its final performance Oct. 12. The musical will have played 13 previews and 102 performances.
The show features Fresno's own Heidi Blickenstaff (pictured center), who got her start in Good Company Players and has since gone on to a strong Broadway career, which is why I've followed it so closely. "[title of show"] is the first time she's originated a major role on Broadway.
Don't look for the cast to give up without a fight, however, According to the show's blog, a full-fledged campaign is under way to try to sell out remaining performances so the show's run can continue. This is a show that made it to Broadway through Internet activism, after all. The current plan: to make a "save the show" video using photos of fans holding up the lyrics to the song "Nine People's Favorite Thing."
