...fans of the show are baffled. it's going to close on June 26.
thats my birthday..I'm trying to talk my dad into letting me go see it for my B-Day on the last night.
I think it's closing because it didn't get any Tony noms (that I know of), which is surprising, especially for costumes.

I can't say that I'm surprised - despite the devoted fan base the show built up (which is something more shows in the States ought to do), the ticket sales weren't tremendous and, as you said, no Tony nominations. I'd say the show probably got caught, much like Little Women, between a lot of giant shows with more tourist appeal.

Meh. Small show can't compete with the big dogs. I've seen it happen before.

I wish BKLYN didn't have to close. It is amazing!

I think "Brooklyn" shouldn't close becauseof the music, the costumes and everything. I was thinking about seeing it but it turns out it didn't happend that way! I anyway, will see "Sweet Charity" soon because I like Christina Applegate! She was a person I saw on television when I was like 8 years old during her "Married With Children" years.

I think this show will in a few years become a high school show favorite as what happens to all good musicals when they die.
