Not hot, stay open? might not
The Tony Award nominations have been announced. As is the case sometimes, shows which have been struggling to get audiences who don't receive any nominations may decide to throw in the towel. A nomination (or many) usually means increased attendance.
Some Like It Hot received 13 nominations. You don't have to worry about them. But what about a show like Camelot? It got 5 nominations, not bad by any measure. But you never know. Will Camelot also be a casualty of the Tonys?
The scene: A bar in the theatre district - NYC
Two producers of Camelot, drowning their sorrows
We thought more people would come to see Camelot
But not many came to see the show
Not like that show Some Like It Hot
Everybody wants to see that, ya know
We thought more people would see Camelot
Now our dreams of a long-running show are shot
All our hopes have gone down the sewer
We should have renamed the show Camelfewer!
