Broadway is set to say farewell to its most exceptionally engaging canine. Sylvia, starring Tony winners Matthew Broderick and Annaleigh Ashford, will shutter early on January 3, 2016; the production had been scheduled to play a limited engagement through January 24. At time of closing, A.R. Gurney's play will have played 27 previews and 79 regular performances at the Cort Theatre.
In Sylvia, the world of a middle-aged New York couple is turned topsy-turvy when the husband (Broderick) brings home an exceptionally engaging canine (Ashford) running loose in Central Park. The original 1995 off-Broadway production starred Broderick’s wife, Sarah Jessica Parker. This incarnation marks the show’s Broadway premiere.
Directed by Daniel Sullivan, the cast also includes Tony winner Julie White and Robert Sella. The production opened on October 2.
