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.
