No, don't blame himm.
Lots of shows are going off of the market right now. Legally Blonde the Musical and Rent as well.
I'm thinking because lots of people are getting laid off and can't afford to buy tickets because they'd rather *gasp* eat instead?
I'm really sad that Legally Blonde is gone though.

It's not Clay's fault. It was due to end anyway. I love me some Clay. I would like to lick his pink asshole. He's HAWT!!!

BROADWAY HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY GREEDY PRODUCERS PUTTING HOLLYWOOD ACTORS WITH NO THEATRICAL TRAINING/EXPERIENCE IN LEAD ROLES. HIRE PROFESSIONALS, ASSHOLES!!!!!

It has nothing to do with Clay. I know you say stuff to get a reaction, but it makes you look like an uneducated ass. Ticket sales have not been that good well before he joined the cast. If anything there was a bit of a spike with him there. For a show to last more then a year is impressive let alone 3 year. All shows end eventually. Avenue Q will most likely end soon also. Last time I saw that it was less then 60% or so full.

“By banning same-sex marriages, Prop. 8 would create second-class citizens.”

The San Diego Union Tribune
“No on Prop. 8. Gay marriage right should not be repealed.”

The Napa Valley Register
“Vote no on Proposition 8. In our view, Proposition 8 is a misguided and unconstitutional proposal. We urge voters to reject Proposition 8.”

Our opposition has a war chest of millions of dollars, and we must match them dollar for dollar. Every dollar counts, so please contribute today and again in the coming weeks. Backers of Prop. 8 raised $24.3 million as of the end of September. WE have only raised $15.4 million. WE are seriously underfunded.
