Much anticipation circulated around the Broadway musical “Holler If Ya Hear Me,” inspired by works of the late-great Tupac Shakur. Which is why it is surprising to learn that the show is on the verge of shutting down early. According to the NY Post, the play, directed by Kenny Leon, had a rough first week, bring in only $170,000. The play is reported to be the lowest-grossing play on Broadway. However, last week was not the only chaotic moment the show has encountered. It was rumored that “Holler” almost closed before opening night due to losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if the show survives this disastrous start, it still is burdened with mixed reviews from critics. One of the main concerns is that it is a “heavy-handed” story, although critics enjoyed the “attempt to pull the jukebox musical out of the baby-boomer mire .” The show may have its early curtain call on Sunday, so be sure to check it out before then.
