Broadway musical A CATERED AFFAIR will become the second New York show to close after failing at the Tony Awards.
The theatre adaptation of the classic 1950s movie opened in April (08) to mixed reviews, but attracted eight nominations at last weeks (beg09Jun08) Tonys.
The show's producers walked away empty handed, and just days later bosses have announced it will close on 27 July (08) after 116 performances at the Walter Kerr Theatre.
Writer and star Harvey Fierstein claims the show was too complicated for Broadway audiences: "A lot maybe thought it was too challenging or didn't get it at all. It took some people multiple viewings to get it."
The news comes just days after John Waters musical Cry-Baby was axed.
