Beloved Tossers:
As many of you know, it was announced last night that [title of show] will conclude its run at the Lyceum on October 12th.
Thank you for all your support that each of you continue to demonstrate through buying tickets, listening to the CD, reading the blog, blogging, writing to us, sending us videos, taking your inspiration and creating your own work...it means the world to us.
Lots of feelings are being felt: sadness, pride, gratitude...and hope. Guess what: the story isn't over yet.
You may be feeling feelings, too. You also may be wondering what you can do. And here it is:
We want to PACK the houses for the rest of the Lyceum run of [title of show]. If we can sell out these houses, then we have something to work withand the possibility of another chapter of [title of show]. You can make a difference about what comes nextyou can contribute to the shape of the future of [title of show].
What can you do?
*Tell 90 people to come see the show.
*Make and distribute your own [title of show] flyer.
*Post your own video encouraging people to buy tickets.
*Tell your co-workers and classmates and cast-mates and teachers and students and parents and children and friends and neighbors to come see the show as soon as possible.
*Get a group to see the show who has never seen it before.
*Find a creative way to turn your passion about the show into ticket sales.
Time is of the essence.
Remain open, passionate and optimistic.
The adventure continues, people.
Love and gratitude,
Hunter, Jeff, Heidi, Susan, Michael, Courtney, Benjamin & Larry

I cannot tell you how inspiring it is reading what you guys share with us. Wait, yes I can tell you...IT IS CRAZY INSPIRING, and the reason we want to fight to stay is because this show is for you guys. So just share with these folks what you've have been sharing with us.

I saw Xanadu when I was in New York earlier this year and absolutely loved it. Sad to hear from your blog though that it's closed as I've been telling anyone who I know that goes to New York to go and see it.

Aw, I wish I saw this video earlier Robbie, I would have totally gone to see TOS. Hey, I just went to their site and saw Rolling Stone called it "simply irresistible" ... dang, they canceled a simply irresistible production? No fair!

Hey Robbie. Luckily I subscribe to your videos and found out that [TOS] was closing. It's been a show I've had on my list of "must see shows" since it's off-B'way days. Your video got me to book a seat for last Tuesday (10/7). The show blew me away having related to it in so many ways. I went straight to the box office and got another ticket for last night (10/6) Thanks to you, Robbie, I've got a new best show and got to see one of the best original casts ever!

Poor Robbie :( I'm in shock, actually, I thought ToS would run longer than that. *cry* (This is what I get for moving)
