Very curious.

I believe this adaptation (Kushner's script, I mean) was commissioned as a vehicle for Oprah to make her Broadway debut a few years ago, but the Kander and Ebb musical finally came to Broadway, essentially killing it. So excited to see an actress like Leslie sink her teeth into this role.

I know Oprah could come to Broadway in anything and name-alone will sell out whatever run. I definitely heard from someone involved the musical's coming to Broadway and then flopping did have an effect on Oprah or whomever not wanting to go any further with it. I'm sure it was one of many things.

The season brochure has dates listed through April 4, but it also says at the bottom "Further performances to be announced."

I hope it does! Do keep in mind, though, (as I'm guessing you probably know) that shows at the National have very irregular schedules and sometimes take weeks off at a time in the middle of their runs.
