The producers of Promises, Promises announced yesterday that the Tony Award-winning revival will close on January 2, 2011, after 291 performances. Stars Sean Hayes, Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Goldwyn, Dick Latessa and Molly Shannon extended their contracts a week so that they’d be able to appear in the final performances.
Producer Beth Williams says, “We’ve had an amazing journey with Rob Ashford’s vision of this legendary show and we are thrilled to end this party on a high note, ringing in the New Year with our dream cast. This has been a perfect experience from start to finish.”
According to a press release, the musical is “expected to recoup its investment in the coming weeks,” and there’s even talks of a nationwide tour, although nothing’s known for sure yet.
Neil Simon’s Promises, Promises premiered on Broadway in December 1968, with music and lyrics by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The original incarnation ran until 1972 and closed after 1,281 performances. The current production is directed and choreographed by Tony and Emmy Award winner Rob Ashford.
