Sad news arrived this morning from New York as yet another musical will be closing early. Gypsy, starring Patti LuPone is now scheduled to close well over a month prior to the original announced day, Andrew Gans of playbill.com explains:
"The current revival of Gypsy — starring Tony Award winners Patti LuPone, Boyd Gaines and Laura Benanti and directed by its librettist, Arthur Laurents — will now end its run at the St. James Theatre Jan. 11, 2009, rather than the previously announced March 1, 2009.
In a statement producer Roger Berlind said, "Though we originally announced that Gypsy would play its final performance on March 1, 2009, due to these uncertain financial times my partners and I have made the difficult decision to close instead on January 11, 2009."
When it closes, the production will have played a total of 27 previews and 332 regular performances.
The Broadway production of Gypsy won three 2008 Tony Awards: for stars LuPone, Benanti and Gaines."
