WOW!! I'm away from my computer for a few hours and look what happens! This is so exciting. It's like a miracle! The people involved with this show are amaaazing! Thanks be to the theatre gods!

Yeah, me too, Karen--can't leave the computer for the day without something weird happening!
Anyway, this may explain the applause and whoops I heard from the stage after the curtain went down at today's matinee! (Yes, ironically I was at Gypsy this afternoon. Ms Peters, what happened to the first/second scene satchel? Did the understudy dog have something to do with the lack of the ever-present satchel in the first 2 scenes?)
WOW WHAT GREAT NEWS! I was actually getting a little melancholic on the bus home thinking of the end of this splendid show. HAPPY AGAIN.
[added: it looked like an almost full house this afternoon.]

This is so great. I'm so glad everyone realized what a shame it would be for this wonderful production to close. The people (lol me included) went out, bought tickets, told their friends to buy tickets, the cast and crew were making compromises. This is a historic moment in Broadway theatre.
TAKE THAT MICHAEL REIDEL! 
This show might be down, but it's not out!
And hey, now Bernadette can have a happy birthday on the 28th

I don't post when I'm at work, but I do check in sometimes and boy was I glad I did today. Nothing like getting happy news to give your day a lift.
My only consolation when the closing date was announced was that at least they picked a weekend I could fly out there. Now I'm tempted to hold off til Assassins opens, but then there's that ticket I purchased for the 28th. Hmmmm. Anyone have any thoughts???

Just reading this this morning!! Great, great news!!!
And ditto to Christine's sentiment re: Reidel -- Count this triumph as one big, fat, juicy raspberry in yo' face (as you say in NY), Bubba (as we say in the South).
And another spray for the Grammy too!!!
I'd hoped to see 'Gypsy' again on the wondrous Bernadette's birthday, and knew I had to be there if the show was closing that day.
Now the 28th will be an even BIGGER celebration!!
Congrats to all in this wonderful cast (including the blissful Ms. Bliss).
CURTAIN UP!! LIGHT THE LIGHTS!!
Life is good.

If you have a ticket for the 28th.. GO!!! I know it will be the best performance of GYPSY because it is the one performance that everyone connected with this show struggled to do.
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO MABEL!!

I think the performances on the 28th (especially the evening performance) will be such a victory and a triumph. Gypsy is always spectacular, but it just makes it so much more special to know that it's not the end yet. The cast, crew, and audience all have reason to celebrate that night.
If you have a ticket, and can still make it, GO!

I still plan to go 2/28. Maybe those going can still get together before or after?
I may have 2 additional tickets for the 2/28 evening performance that, once I know for sure, I'll sell cheap $50 each -- in orchestra right in the first 7th or 8th row.

I'd love to meet some others from the board but I will be there for the matinee and have to catch a bus back at 6:30.

Still haven't made up my mind about whether to go on the 28th or not. I agree that the audience should be great that night considering it will be filled with lots of fans. I saw Bernadette in concert on her birthday several years ago. I think the audience sang Happy Birthday to her. I do remember that a big cake with lots of candles was wheeled out and she impressed the crowd by blowing them out in one long breath (singer's lungs I guess) and then shared a couple of the toppings with some people seated near the stage.
Well maybe I'll decide going to NY in the winter is better than the spring.
