After being snubbed Tuesday when this season’s Tony Award nominations were announced, the Broadway musical “Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ ” will close on May 14, its producers said.
The revival of the legendary director-choreographer’s 1978-1982 “Dancin’: A New Musical Entertainment” will have played 17 preview performances and 65 regular performances. Directed by Wayne Cilento, who was nominated for a Tony as a dancer in the original production and won for best choreography for “The Who's Tommy” (1993), “Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ ” was produced in cooperation with Fosse’s daughter, Nicole Fosse.
The New York Times theater critic Jesse Green had called the new production “often-thrilling [but] often-frustrating” due to “the periodic intrusion of ax-grinding Fosse avatars, quoting him at his most maudlin,” but said the show was still “a joy every time it puts down its ax.”
