A parody thought about PROMISES PROMISES closing in January
in which Fran Kubelik appears to the PROMISES PROMISES producers in a dream.
KNOWING WHEN TO CLOSE
tune of KNOWING WHEN TO LEAVE
Go while the grosses are good
Knowing when to close
May be the hardest thing the money folk can learn.
Go!
Don’t recast these parts,
Listen though it smarts
Fly while you’re all in the black
Knowing when to close
Should let you give a hundred-plus percent return.
Fly!
Payback helps assure
Funding for a tour
Though you keep hoping,
week after week, as you think of each star you know,
Hope upon hope that you’ll find your own “Peters and Stritch”
Though you pray that
Lightning would strike if you only got so-and-so
Chances of lightning like that twice in one season are a b*tch
Keep all your
eyes on the signs, don’t become the show that ignores
Dollars and sense as recoupment goes up in a flame
And the season's
got a March hit with the same basic theme as yours
Not only that, it stars maybe the street’s biggest B.O. name
Radcliffe and HOW TO SUCCEED
Them’s all the tea leaves you need.
Should you close?
