Rumors: “Ruined,” “Night Music”
The Broadway play “Irena’s Vow,” starring Tovah Feldshuh, has posted a closing notice, freeing up the Walter Kerr Theatre. Today’s rumor: “Ruined,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by Lynn Nottage that has been extending and extending off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club, is going to move into the Kerr. Which means: the only Jujamcyn Theatre available for the upcoming revival of “A Little Night Music” will be the St. James, whose vast precincts will all but swallow up the large-chamber-sized feel that that Sondheim show should have. Sondheim lovers should take a page from Tehran and hit the streets, demanding that “Night Music” play the intimate Walter Kerr instead!
