That's how long Howard is contracted. If it's a hit, I imagine it'll extend. I figure the reviews will be mixed - a fine cast in an unnecessary revival.
I think the 2 month run is just a test to see if there's an audience. And the most attractive thing to James Earl Jones, who isn't the safest bet following the "Golden Pond" disaster.

Liked "Golden Pond". Didnt love it. I can listen/watch Jones read the phone book.
Reason I want to see it is for Anika Noni Rose. So talented, and a real sweetheart !
