GLORY DAYS CLOSED AT BROADWAY’S CIRCLE IN THE SQUARE THEATREPretty impressive that it only lasted ONE DAY. That's some old time Broadway shit going on there. The reviews were awful, but people took great care to preserve the writer's feelings because they were 23 and 24 or something. Which I thought was sweet, though stupid.

GLORY DAYS, a new musical by Nick Blaemire (Music and Lyrics) and James Gardiner (Book) played its final performance at Broadway’s Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street, NYC) on Tuesday, May 6 (Opening Night).
GLORY DAYS began performances on Tuesday, April 22 and officially played 17 previews and one regular performance.
Producers John O’Boyle and Ricky Stevens said, “We adore GLORY DAYS and everyone connected with this production. Sadly, given the over-night reviews and our low advance sales, we believe it is prudent to close the show on Broadway immediately.”
The production starred Steven Booth (Will), Andrew C. Call (Andy), Adam Halpin (Skip), and Jesse JP Johnson (Jack). Led by director Eric Schaeffer, the creative team also included James Kronzer (scenic design), Sasha Ludwig-Siegel (costume design), Mark Lanks (lighting design) and Peter Hylenski (sound design). Vocal arrangements are by Nick Blaemire and Jesse Vargas. Music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations are by Jesse Vargas.
GLORY DAYS was produced by John O’Boyle, Ricky Stevens, Richard E. Leopold and Lizzie Leopold, Max Productions, Alan Mingo, Jr. and Broadway Across America in association with Signature Theatre.
Then my friend pointed out. Stephen Sondheim was 26 when he wrote Gypsy and West Side Story. Also, Martin McDonagh was 25 when he wrote his plays. So obviously if they can play in the big leagues they should be able to take the brunt that comes with it. From what I heard of the music, I either hope they improve or I never hear another score from them again. Or I date one of the guys, I think they're geeky cute.
