Jesse Green is mixed positive- says the play hasn't aged well but Ridloff and Jackson are great. I tend to agree

This was a pretty ill-conceived revival of a play the wasn't very good in the first place.  I can't imagine it being around for more than a few weeks.  Too bad.

dead on arrival, right?

I was curious about it and I watched some interviews, including a 30 minute Build series interview, and saw some clips, and despite the reviews, I have to say I sort of really want to watch this. Joshua Jackson and Lauren Ridloff seem very endearing and seem to have excellent chemistry. I did notice that despite the middling reviews, both leads have been cited for their performances with some excellent notices.

I thought they were supposed to play through the summer. I can't imagine Roundabout closing up early. They really did a great job with the show clips because just watching that, the show looks pretty great (aside from the set).

This isn’t a Roundabout production.

Is there talk of this closing early?
