It's Only A Play - extension?

So my one week in NYC in January is turning out pretty well so far. Tickets to The River and The Elephant Man are secured (Hugh and Bradley - oh mamma!). But I cried when I saw that It's Only A Play will end its run before I arrive. What are the chances that the season will be extended? Does it happen often with plays with big stars?

It's Only A Play - extension?

All depends on their schedules really, and whether or not anyone wants to extend with it.

Let the show rehearse, preview and open first.

It's Only A Play - extension?

Unlikely. It says "Strictly Limited Engagement" on its website. Usually 'Strictly' shows don't extend, although I'm sure there have been exceptions.

Also, a bunch of shows end their runs a few days into January every year. So this may not be the only show disappearing then.

Of course, the other logistical problem with extensions for these shows is whether a spring tenant has a hold on that theater.

I would love for this to extend to next summer. But I know that's near impossible.

It's Only A Play - extension?

This has to be the most ridiculous premise for a thread that I've ever read.
