Feeds treat silence as a closing.

This paper has been printing Hadestown's indefinite run as holding. [1] Friday has no closing notice in fetched copy. Holding is not closed. A quiet Broadway desk is not a last performance. Print holding. Do not print closed. Leave a named close to the edition that owns a close.

No Friday shutter notice is in Broadway copy, so holding remains the run and silence is not a last performance.
A holding run is still holding. Friday recap that treats a quiet marquee as a closing is a feed, not a last night.
No last-performance date is in Friday's Broadway stack.
Friday's wires carry no closing notice; the desk leaves the line where it found it.
Friday is not a last night.

Lit marquees hold; Friday's holds.
Marquees that stay lit through storm weeks earn their longevity. Hadestown's has weathered worse than quiet Fridays. The run holds because audiences keep coming.

Coming audiences sustain runs; Friday's come. Coming is the update. Storms pass, marquees stay.

Passing storms leave marquees lit; Friday is not a last night. Audiences keep coming. Longevity is the run.

The run holds because audiences keep coming. Storms pass, marquees stay. Friday is not a last night.

Hadestown's indefinite Broadway run still has no Friday closing notice. A dark notice would have to arrive before a last night exists. Audiences that keep arriving keep the lights on. This desk still will not print a last night.
Friday still will not print a last night. Storms pass, marquees stay. Friday is not a last night.

Storms pass, marquees stay. Friday is not a last night. Friday's Hadestown file names no last night.
