Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Sondheim and Lee kick it.

Now, to answer the question- I'd save the show by closing it down.

I agree... Its not worth it for Broadway. I mean I feel bad for the actors, crew, etc who would be out of work but to me it's just creating a lot of negative publicity right now which is not what Broadway needs.
