Broadway's Life of Pi has set an early closing date, with its final performance now scheduled for July 23 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. The West End transfer had previously been scheduled to play through September 3.

The move makes the production potentially the Main Stem's first post-Tonys casualty.

Awful script, worse than the film.

Like “Bad Cinderella”, a script that needed to be worked on yet they refused to make the necessary changes, knowing what the issues were in London before transferring here.

The first post-Tony Awards casualty.

Disappointing as this was one of my favorite things this season, but they've been struggling this whole time so it's not really unexpected. I wonder how much they'll have to scale down some of the effects for tour.

Unless they’ve made changes since Toronto, The Shark is Broken will continue this trend.

Some impressive visual moments, but that damn script was an absolute slog to endure.

Don't think that's complicated.
