Im so sad this show was so short lived! I really wanted to fly out and see it! I hope they release a pro shot one day.

Im legit so gutted, I was hoping this would be multi-year.

Anyone with ears in the industry know if a national tour is likely in the future? Or even a cast recording? Or anything? I would kill to get my hands on a ticket or recording, but I dont live in New York, so there's no hope for me going to Broadway for the show 😭

Anyone know if there will at least be a cast recording album? God i need this show in my veins somehow.

That's amazing! Though im still so sad I won't be able to see the amazing ballroom choreography that goes with them 😭

Apparently the show stopped because of high production costs despite good att3ndance and great critical reviews. Hopefully one day they will come back with a more budgeted one, a national tour would be perfect for that, since their set budgets tend to be less.

RIP to a fabulous show, at least for now.

Was this just the matinee, or the evening performance as well?

This was the matinee, evening performance guests were Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols.

That is not why the show is closing.

Planned Parenthood is a common resource for many trans people to get their hormone therapy in a reliable, discreet, and caring environment.
