Don't get all up on PhillyPinto for the posting. These postings happens every single time a show announces its closing. This the same community that has been asking what's next for the Lyric since January.

Yeah except people started talking about why on the town wasn't closing way before me. People don't care when a great show like honeymoon or the last ship closes so nobody tell me **** for posting this thread
I think that Philly, no matter how sad the Hedwig closing is, has the right to speculate on what might be coming into the Belasco. Now I do agree that size wise and thematically, American Psycho fits in the Belasco with its bizarre theming and plot. But, in order to not lose too much money, the Shubert's will need to bring in a limited engagement, or holiday show. If they put A Christmas Carol in the Belasco, I have a really good feeling that it would sell in a heartbeat
It is a BWW tradition to ask what is going into the house next while a struggling show is still playing. It is a new wrinkle however to ask when a new show will replace another new show that has not even opened yet. I think Psycho will be a hard sell but I would never stoop to asking what would replace it until at least Psycho opened, was reviewed & saw how the public was or was not buying tickets.

He was referring to THIS fall, until Psycho opens in the spring. I know it can be challenging for a dullard like you Roxy, but do try to keep up.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
