VIDEO: IT'S ONLY A PLAY's Nathan Lane Recalls His Biggest Broadway Flops on 'Late Night'

Nathan Lane stopped by last night's LATE NIGHT and revealed he was heartbroken over the recent news that Zayn Malik was leaving One Direction "You think you know a boy band, you give them your heart and something like this shakes you to the core," said the actor.

Later, Lane talks about his return to Broadway's IT'S ONLY A PLAY and discussed some of the biggest Broadway flops he's been involved in, including the 1970's musical "Merlin," starring magician Doug Henning.

It's Only a Play is now playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (242 West 45th Street) through June 7th. Tickets are now on sale for all performances. For more information on It's Only A Play, please visit www.ItsOnlyAPlay.com.

In It's Only A Play, it's opening night of Peter Austin's (Matthew Broderick) new play as he anxiously awaits to see if his show is a hit. With his career on the line, he shares his big First Night with his best friend, a television star (Martin Short), his fledgling producer (Katie Finneran), his erratic leading lady (Stockard Channing), his wunderkind director (Maulik Pancholy), an infamous drama critic (F. Murray Abraham), and a fresh-off-the-bus coat check attendant (Micah Stock) on his first night in Manhattan. It's alternately raucous, ridiculous and tender - and proves that sometimes the biggest laughs happen offstage.
