Following the announcement earlier in the day on Friday that Martin McDonagh's Hangmen had played its final Broadway performance while still in previews, a similar fate has met the eagerly anticipated revival of Edward Albee's masterwork of interdependent marital warfare, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Lead producers Scott Rudin, Barry Diller and David Geffen confirmed late Friday night that the production, which was shut down March 12 as part of government-mandated safety measures to control the spread of the new coronavirus, would not resume performances when Broadway reopens its doors.
The revival had played just nine previews at the Booth Theatre and was scheduled for an official opening April 9 in a limited engagement on sale through.
