Another show posts a closing notice.
The revival of The Who’s “Tommy” will play its last performance on July 21st.
The musical received good reviews and had ecstatic audiences, but was overwhelmed at the Tony Awards by other revivals like “Merrily We Roll Along.”
Already announced is a closing for “The Heart of Rock and Roll,” the Huey Lewis musical. Next should be the musical version of “The Notebook.”
“Tommy” has been played at 78% capacity. Last week it made just $794,967 — not enough to sustain a musical of its size during the fall off month of August.
Will we ever see “Tommy” again? I sure hope so, but probably not for a while. We still have the album and the movie, though! The Who are forever!
PS Count me in for seeing it again before the Pinball Wizard wraps up his game.
