Sad to see this show closing, as it's a good-humoured, good-hearted show that I really enjoyed. After Kimberly Akimbo, I thought it was the best new musical of that season... so the second best new musical of that season. Excited though it's coming to Australia.

Update: The producers are looking at moving to another Broadway house according to The Hollywood Reporter:

The show’s producing team, led by Mike Bosner, is looking to move to another Broadway theater, if one becomes available after [it closes at the Nederlander Theatre on 13 January 2024]. That may be a tough proposition, given the many spring shows that have already been announced or are waiting in the wings.
