We have been embraced by the industry of critics and theatre goers with fierce admiration, and for that I am eternally grateful. To be surrounded by such a talented team my first time around is more than just fortunate, it's inspiring. As with any respected theatre, an early closing always stings, but we will not let this deter us from working to keep the production alive in theaters across the world.
