I looked this up and didn't see anything about this anywhere...if you go on Telecharge to buy tickets for VIRGINIA WOOLF, you will see that they are selling them until March 17. I know that it was supposed to close Jan 27 and extended until Feb 24, but I guess it's possible that they extended even further. Congratulations to them, though. Saw it last week. Fabulous production.
Its fabulous, yes...but there were a bunch of end of year reports on how badly it was doing...great news if its indeed extended again, it certainly deserves to!!
The production will be a major awards contender and Richards knows that. His goal is probably to keep it running as long as possible so that it's fresh in the minds of Tony & DD nominaters and voters.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

plus the Booth has nothing booked after Woolf, so why not extend it. It has a small cast, small set & is probably making it's weekly nut.
A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.
What's the point of it winning awards? That does nothing for the producers to help make their money back? The show is already a classic. It's not like it needs the exposure.
Is that a real question? Producers like to win awards. So do directors and actors.

Because Carrie Coon deserves a Tony Award for her performance as Honey.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Givesmevoice, I saw Carrie Coon in the Chicago Writers Theatre production of "The Real Thing" doing the Glenn Close role last year. She chose to do the part with an Eastern European accent which somehow made the charactern finally make sense to me (politically and psychologically). She was magnificent. Carrie Coon is the BEST!
I think that Tracy Letts is almost a lock for Best Actor, Amy Morton will be a strong contender for Best Actress (and they owe her one for her failure to win one for her great performance in August: Osage County), and I certainly think that the production itself is the favorite for Best Revival of a Play. It has my vote, not that I actually have one.

"What's the point of it winning awards? That does nothing for the producers to help make their money back? The show is already a classic. It's not like it needs the exposure."
As a producer being able to say you were the producer of a show that won this or that award gives you the clout to make it easier to get each successive project off the ground and on to the stage.
Who would you rather work with? A producer who's only produced a string a financial and artistic flops, or a producer who was able to extend a limited run project and win several awards for it?
Did you know that every day Mexican gays cross our borders and unplug our brain-dead ladies?
PlayItAgain, why do you say that Coon is the least likely to win a Tony? Honey does have less to say perhaps than the other three but I felt she made what could be a blah sort of character into someone incredibly compelling. I found myself watching her often even when she wasn't speaking.
I don't know if she will win, but I think she has a strong shot at a nomination and would be a definite contender if she does score the nomination.
