Got tickets to the third week of "Jersey Boys" performances at the Murat? Well, bad news: There isn't going to be a third week.

The national tour of the Broadway hit, returning to Indy in January, has lopped a week off of its planned Jan. 9-27 run here. Now it will be exiting on the 20th "due to tour scheduling," according to Broadway in Indianapolis Director of Public Relations Matthew Porter.

Those with tickets for Jan. 22-27should revisit their point of purchase to try to reschedule. If not, there will be refunds.

If you find yourself with a suddenly open weekend and still have a desire for musical theater, keep in mind that  "A Little Night Music" opens at the Indiana Repertory Theatre on the 22nd.

  • "Night Music" is a great idea.

    Although poles apart from "Jersey Boys", Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" is one of his best. The songs are mesmerizing and includes the iconic "Send in the Clowns." I always thought that was an odd song until I saw how it makes perfect sense in the play. The action and dialog can be really clever and funny at times. The show was recently done in NYC with Angela Lansbury and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the cast. Here in Indy we'll be treated to the great Sylvia McNair - 4 time Grammy Nominee and 2-time winner! Don't miss it.

    I think it's sad that a national touring Broadway show has to shorten it's tour in Indy for obviously lack of ticket sales. I saw this show in Louisville almost two years ago - and it was amazing. I was planning on attending a show here, too. However, with the economy, lack of discretionary income, the holidays - it doesn't surprise me - just sad.

  1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

  2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

  3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

  4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

  5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
