QUIT PROFESSOR HIGGINS! Some not so LOVERLY news has been announced and you're going to need tissues and LOTS OF CHOCOLATE FOR YOU TO EAT.

The show will play its final performance at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre on July 7th, 2019 (the initial day of the show's current leading lady Laura Benanti as previously announced was initially scheduled to end her contract). Following the final curtain call, this timeless production will have played 39 previews and 509 regular performances.
