I have a feeling it's going to become an open run. I read it had an advance sale of $8 million (which is great) and it's looking like a frontrunner for the Tonys now.
It's so funny. I saw Newsies in the movie theater twice back when it first opened. Both times we were the only people there. Last week I was at the box office getting tickets, it was super-crowded, and the guy in front of me was paying $400 (each!!) for premium tickets.
I'm seeing it April 30, and I'm ridiculously excited.
