‘Wonderful Town’ to close after 15 months

The curtain is falling on “Wonderful Town.”

The Broadway revival of the “My Sister Eileen” musical about two young women from Ohio trying to make it big in New York will close Jan. 30 after a 15-month run, it was announced Wednesday.

The show, which currently stars Brooke Shields as aspiring writer Ruth Sherwood, will have played 507 performances at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The revival, which opened in November 2003, originally starred Donna Murphy, who missed the last month of her run because of illness.

“Wonderful Town,” with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Betty Comden and

Adolph Green, was born in 1953 as a vehicle for film star Rosalind Russell. Its book by Jerome Chodorov and Joseph A. Fields was based on their comedy, “My Sister Eileen,” a hit on Broadway in the early 1940s.

The Hirschfeld already has its next tenant, a revival of “Sweet Charity,” starring Christina Applegate, best known for her role on television’s “Married ... With Children.” The Neil Simon, Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields musical opens April 21.
