Been reading all the Taboo closing comments - very amusing - as if this show were suddenly the second coming. This happens every time a closing notice is put up these days "Hey, tell fifty people you know to go buy tickets, we can SAVE THE SHOW." I wouldn't be surprised if there were some kind of reprieve or extension, although it would totally be for nothing except more money lost. I remember the Side Show groupies doing this until you wanted to throw things at them - not all shows are great, not all shows should stay open because people on the Internet wish it so, not all shows DESERVE to run. I, of course, am not speaking specifically of Taboo, which I haven't seen, but it's clear it hasn't found its audience no matter how hard its producer tried to shove it down everyone's throats. She has guts, she believes in what she believes in, all that is admirable. David Merrick knew when to cut his losses, all great and responsible producers do. You'd think people had died from the comments around the net. This whole generation of young theater goers has no idea how it was in the past - shows came, shows went, some hit, some missed, it wasn't a national tragedy. End of rant.
