    It's unfortunate that The Visit didn't win any Tony Awards. I read today that they have posted their closing notice. Too bad. It's a very dark show but hypnotic, engrossing and very entertaining. The attendance has been poor. I guess it simply couldn't find an audience. At least the score will be preserved with an Original Cast CD.

    I was hoping that at least it could won the Tony for Best Original Score, but deep down I knew it wouldn't. Like you said Harry, at least there's a cast recording.
