LUCKY GUY Enters Final Week of Performances on Broadway

LUCKY GUY, starring two-time Academy Award-winner Tom Hanks, is now in its final performances on Broadway. The production, the final work by three-time Academy Award-nominee Nora Ephron and directed by two-time Tony Award-winner George C. Wolfe, was extended by popular demand through Wednesday, July 3 when it ends its record-breaking limited engagement at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street).

LUCKY GUY officially recouped its $3.6 million capitalization costs as of the week ending 4/28/13, eight weeks after beginning performances.

Final performances are tonight at 8:00 PM, Thursday June 27 at 7:00 PM, Friday June 28 at 8:00 PM, Saturday June 29 at 2:00 and 8:00 PM, Monday July 1 at 8:00 PM, Tuesday July 2 at 7:00 PM and Wednesday July 3 at 2:00 and 8:00 PM.

Nora Ephron began her professional career as a reporter at The New York Post in 1962 and LUCKY Guy Marks a return to her journalistic roots. Her new play is about the scandal- and graffiti-ridden New York of the 1980s, as told through the story of the charismatic and controversial tabloid columnist Mike McAlary (Tom Hanks). LUCKY GUY is the third collaboration between Tom Hanks and Nora Ephron, following the films Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail.

From his sensational reporting of New York's major police corruption to the libel suit that nearly ended his career, LUCKY GUY dramatizes the story of McAlary's meteoric rise, fall and rise again.

Vance(Hap Hairston); Peter Scolari (Michael Daly) and Richard Masur (Jerry Nachman/Stanley Joyce); with Brian Dykstra (Brian O'Regan); Michael Gaston(Jim Dwyer); Dustyn Gulledge (Dino Tortorici); Andrew Hovelson (Reporter); Deirdre Lovejoy (Louise Imerman/Debby Krenek); Danny Mastrogiorgio(Bob Drury/John Miller) and Stephen Tyrone Williams (Abner Louima).
