Lincoln Center Theater's Broadway production of Flying Over Sunset will end its run January 16, three weeks earlier than the originally planned closing date of February 6. The production stars Tony nominees Tony Yazbeck, Harry Hadden-Paton, and Carmen Cusack.
With a book by director James Lapine, music by Tom Kitt, and lyrics by Michael Korie, Flying Over Sunset is inspired by the lives of writer Aldous Huxley (Hadden-Paton); playwright, diplomat, and congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (Cusack); and film star Cary Grant (Yazbeck)—each of whom experimented with the drug LSD. The world premiere opened December 13, 2020, at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre. Click here to read reviews.
