Here’s a look at a couple of shows that are destined for Broadway later this year.
Wishful Drinking
Carrie Fisher, well known for her role as Princess Leia in the first Star Wars trilogy, is set to bring her one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, to Broadway’s Studio 54 this Fall. Fisher, the daughter of showbiz legends Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, tells the not-so-idyllic tale of growing up in Hollywood. Watch for previews to begin on September 22nd, with opening night set for October 4th.
A Little Night Music
Variety magazine reports that Trevor Nunn’s production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s A Little Night Music is headed for Broadway late this year. The show, which follows three lovestruck couples as they lose, and find, each other during a long midsummer night on a country estate, originally hit Broadway in 1973. No casting has been announced for this revival, which is eying a December opening.
Going, Going…
Despite its star-studded cast of Jeremy Irons, Joan Allen and Marsha Mason, Broadway’s Impressionism is set to play it’s final performance at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Sunday, May 10th. The limited run production, which opened on March 24th, was originally scheduled to end on July 5th. But after 23 previews and 56 regular performances, the show will now go dark one week from this Sunday.
