Let's take a look at the shows we'll be losing today:
1. LES MIZ REVIVAL - It started out awkwardly, but the cast it's closing with (including Judy Kuhn as Fantine) is fantastic.
2. THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS - Good riddance. Next year, can we do WHITE CHRISTMAS instead?
3. FANTASTIA in THE COLOR PURPLE - Well, COLOR PURPLE isn't closing per se, but it may as well. The show only worked for me with Fantasia, and I doubt that it ever will again.
4. CYMBELINE - This was truly one of the best Shakespeare productions I've ever seen, and it's a shame it didn't catch on with a larger audience.
5. THE GLORIOUS ONES - I'm glad this new Ahrens-Flaherty musical will get a recording. I'll also be at the final performance today.
6. CYRANO - An enjoyable production of an overrated play. It's been recorded for PBS' Great Performances.
