Boop! The musical I will play his last Broadway performance on Sunday July 13, announced the producers today. The show will have played 25 glimpses and 112 regular performance.
The musical is the fourth production of Broadway – after Smash, real women have curves And Dead outlaw – To announce an early fence after having come empty to the Tony Awards earlier this month. (Two other shows, Floyd Collins And The past five yearsAlso recently closed, but these were planned as limited commitments.)
With the break-out star nominated in Tony, Jasmine Amy Rogers, in the title role, Boop! started the previews on March 11 and opened up to warm criticisms (except for the sea Rogers) on April 5 at the Broadhurst Theater.
Production capitalized up to $ 26 million, has experienced box office difficulties, with attendance generally below 80% of Broadhurst’s capacity. For the week ending on June 22, the show brought back a break of $ 602,017 lower than an average price of $ 81.28.
With a book by Bob Martin, Music by David Foster and the words of Susan Birkenhead, Boop! was directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell, who was also nominated in Tony. (The appointment of the show went to Gregg Barnes for the best costume design of a musical.)
Based on the classic cartoon character in the depression of the pioneer of animation Max Fleischer, Boop! followed the valve as it passes over the time of the black and white world of the 1930s to a very colorful and modern city in New York.
In addition to Rogers, the main distribution of the musical includes Faith Prince, Ainsley Melham, Erich Bergen, Stephen Derosa, Anastacia McCleskey, Angelica Hale, Phillip Huber (working The Pudgy The Dog Puppet), Aubie Merrylees and Ricky Schroeder.
