Broadway’s ‘The Band’s Visit’ Sets Closing Date; The Musical Won 10 Tony Awards

 

Broadway’s The Band’s Visit, winner of 10 Tony Awards last year, a commercial success and widely praised by critics, will play its final performance on Sunday, April 7, its producers said today.

 

“In a polarized and harsh world of politics and division, the success of The Band’s Visit has filled my heart with so much warmth, and I am so grateful to the theatercommunity who has lifted our show to these heights,” lead producer Orin Wolf said (read his full statement below).

 

A national tour of the musical will launch June 25 in Providence, RI, followed by Washington, D.C.; Charlotte, NC; Chicago; Minneapolis; Baltimore; San Francisco; and Las Vegas, with more cities to be announced.

 

When the Broadway production closes April 7, it will have played 589 regular performances and 36 previews at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. The production began October 7, 2017, and by the following September had recouped its $8.75 million capitalization.
