FOTLK New Years Day 0940!

OK. so sure it is New Years Day and it is early but wow - only about 50-60 guests showed up for FOTLK - and this was the first time I have seen it done with 3 performers (instead of 4) - I think the crew might have been a little hung over or tired or something (maybe the crowd not big enough to pump the energy up) but the show came up flat that morning. I never thought I would see such low attendence and to top it off, the main songs were sang by different performers (probably a result of having 3 instead of 4)

BTW, it is one of my favourite shows so the above was just an aberration

Has anyone else experienced "an aberration" at FOTLK?

Wow!! That's weird (and sad). The day they close that show will be a SAD day at WDW!! It is my favorite all-time show!!

The only aberration we found was during evening extended hours. The park stayed open until 8pm, and the show before us was running late (probably had run behind all day long), so they had to have the required "equity break" in between (and to reset the sets). The show got started about 15 minutes late. We had just seen the fire-eater, when the theatre went dark, and an announcement said, "The rest of this evening's performance has been cancelled. Please visit us again on another day". I am SURE it was because they had one cast running the entire day, and WDW did not want to pay equity penalties to keep the actors overtime, but still....it was very sad!! It wasn't very crowded that night, and we had front row seats for the first time EVER!!!

That is so bizarre! Why would they even start the show if they couldn't finish it? And why make guests mad by stopping in the middle? That's pretty dumb, if you ask me.

FOTLK was pretty packed when I went last week.

I canot believe they canceled it mid performance!!! Wow!

Ok, that takes the cake from my perspective - bad planning and execution and totally avoidable - so much for the show must go on
