BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS CLOSES PREMATURELY

What started out as an exciting idea came to an unfortunate end when Brighton Beach Memoirs closed on Sunday [Nov. 1st ] after only nine performances cancelling Broadway Bound which was to alternate with it starting in December.
This is a case where the reviews were mostly positive and word of mouth was good to excellent,but people just weren't interested in a gentle autobiographical family play.
This is too bad because I doubt that there will be anything this year as warming and satisfying as David Cromer's fine take on Neil Simon's enchanting play.
This was a case where a most deserving project closed much too soon. Too bad.
