Well, I think we should all just quit reading the thread. We all have better things to do than to sit around waiting for someone to throw us a bone. I, for one, have much better things to do this time of year! I will check in after the Holidays! Hopefully, the Board will still be up by then!
Merry Christmas All!

Since I am one that was affected by the show closing, not only emotionally, but also physically, I welcome any news they may be forthcoming. I love Grease the movie, watched YTOTIW regularly, been of a member of this board since the beginning and saw the show in NY twice. I also had tickets for Jan 10th... six days after the closing date. My best friend is flying from Chicago to Baltimore; we are taking a bus to New York, but are not able to see the show which was the a huge reason for her visit. It was devastating news for us both and I am ecstatic she is still going to be here regardless, but I need any type of positive news to cheer us up. Let's be real, people are still visiting this site regularly, what is so bad in keeping it active with a harmless discussion?
I'm a new and infrequent poster here - so it seems that apparently this news really isn't for people like me. I don't understand the reason for a time table unless the news is an announcement coming from the show's producers. If it's not something along the lines of a press release that they want to announce in a particular way, why don't you just say it? Old regulars will see it when they happen to come around.
I'm still curious to know what the news is....
If there is any news about the show, you will here it from the Producers and not a poster on the message boards!
I never made a claim that it was about this production. The only news that can be said about the current production is that it is closing which is yesterdays news. And eventually the last story you will hear about this production is that the tour came to an end. The purpose for me making a timeline for this is because the nature of the news won't allow me to deliver it sooner to you (although I am trying my hardest to do it sooner). I am just a fan like the rest or most of you anyway. I am in no way affiliated with the current production. But I have a feeling from what I have been reading that some will be very accepting of the news when it comes along. Try to be positive. It can't hurt you.

As I said - I will be leaving for DC on Friday, December 19 and will be en route at 7pm. I'll probably be in a noisy train station at 7pm and don't know if I'll be able to talk on the phone.

Grease has been on DVD since the previews last year. If that's what you want, there are 3 bootlegs I am aware of floating around out there, all with Max and Laura (and I am sure based on the current bootlegging trend, a bootleg of the current tour will also eventually be available for those who look for it). If that is what the board is hoping for, it's bootleg and this board is not the place to solicit such information. Don't ask me about it either because I will just ignore you. The internet is a big place, use google. Google is your friend (words to live by).
NOBODY knows anything of my news so there is no reason to harass anyone else on this board as I am the only one who knows. I am trying to be as pleasant and positive as I can about this in providing something for all to share but it seems to be getting out of hand. Lets act mature, as this involves a personal financial expense on me and I don't want to have any regrets later about this.
For those of you who have speculated on the reality show being released on DVD, I have no knowledge of this ever happening. IF it were going to happen, it should have been done and available for sale starting at the theater itself when Max and Laura were in the show to maximize sales potential. Since it didn't happen that way, don't expect an official release to happen. I mentioned this when I was holding the DVD contest a few weeks ago. I also mentioned that this has nothing to do with one particular celebrity of the show so all of you harpies can calm down. Until he was in Grease, I never heard of ACE (last name unknown unless his last name is "from american idol") Leave Conrad Birdie out of this one. He's already left the building.
I wanted the regulars to be a part of the news but they as of now just like the rest DO NOT KNOW. By you harassing them, you are scaring them away from it and that is not the way I prefer it to be. IF that ends up being the case, I will terminate this altogether. As much as I care about Grease and it's fans, I do realize that Grease is fiction and I will not tolerate or condone the harassment of actual living human beings at the thought that one of you are waiting to get a lock of ACE's pubes.
Like I said, lets be mature and just wait. I would like to be concentrating on the prize rather than sitting here trying to get grown adults to act their age. For you regulars who are going through constant bombardment, please keep me posted and let me know if this continues. IF it does, I will kill the thread and need to get ini contact with you directly somehow when it's time for the news to come out. IF you are being harassed, I am sure you won't want to spread the news when you get it just to avoid future harassment.

Though I have not posted very often on this board, I have been reading it for awhile. I don't know about everyone else, but I for one, am getting mixed messages about this "news" from FonZuko. If you don't want people talking about it and speculating, why do you keep coming on here and talking? You need to either share the news or stop talking about it. People will wait and not talk if you just stop commenting. And why be disrespectful to Ace? He has many fans on this board, and there's no need to be rude to him. Just had to voice my thoughts.
Can't believe you Ace fans are letting FonZuko get away with that one! That wasn't a very nice comment!
No, I can't believe it. I find the comments about Ace about as classy as his Kate avatar...showcasing Kate's behind. I'm sure Kate wouldn't be happy about that if she saw it.
Just to put in my 2 pennies. FonZuko, I for one will wait your news. I believe that after reading your posts several times that I have now figured out what the news is.
If it is what I believe it to be, then I believe the wait would be worth it. However, I will say that I'm not really sure that FonZuko actions will be noticed. I will take the time now to Thank You FonZuko for your efforts. Regardless of what you think is childish and how mean or cruel some members can be, sometimes the goodness in people can go unnoticed.
If it ends up not being what I think it is, then..............blah, blah, blah.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!!!
the blah blah blah at the end made me laugh out loud.and I needed to laugh today, thank you.

I agree Cool Girl! Classless comment! FonZuko was the one that made the nasty Ace comments! He was talking about Ace's pubes for God's sake! Why would anyone say that this person is nice.
The comment was aimed at the fanatics, not Ace. Due to me having to come in and calm people down, I will keep my mouth **** and just wait until the 19th to say what I have to say. It's really a sad day for me when I intend to come to the site to unite people in something awesome just to have it blow up in my face because some people can't control themselves. The people that I want to stick by my side will get private messages from me. The rest can sit here until the due date and fight it out. I won't participate in this negative banter anymore.

I must not be one of those people. I haven't yet received a private message.
I love this kind of thread, as my avatar might suggest.
FonZ, just in case, please don't private message me. I want the excitement to build to an unbearable level, and then explode in ecstasy on the 19th. You seem sufficiently skilled to bring your audience to climax at the desired moment, and that's what theatre is all about.
