As we mentioned yesterday, Boop! The Musical is closing July 13 on Broadway. A cast member who wishes to remain anonymous (hint: It isn't Pudgy the Dog) wrote to thank me for my cheerleading and to also say these sad words: "I'm sorry you didn't get to see it. I would have gotten you house seats up front."
This person also said there's a backstage rumor that a big tour is being arranged. I hope that's so for their sake, mine and maybe yours but I'm a bit guarded in such hopes.
Every time I've been around a project that ended, someone sought to temper the bad news with a light of some sort at the end of some tunnel. Your TV show gets canceled and someone more or less in charge says, "Don't worry…we already have interest from another network." Once in a while — but only once in a while — that turns out to be so. I'm hoping Boop! is one of those onces.
